New College Dress Code To Be Strictly Enforced Last Monday the ASB Council passed on an up dated student Dress Code. Marilyn Mendal was the author of t he new code having been a ppointed by ASB President Jim Logsdon. Miss Mendal consulted the Dean of Student Personnel, Dr. John F. McGeever and College President Dr Frederick Huber before presenting her recommendation before the Council. LONG PANTS

The only discussion of the code was concerning the wording of the summary comment at the end. Council rewrote the summary to read, "The wearing of long pants by women is acceptable only during final week and during periods of inclement weather. The

wearing of Bermudas and the absence of shoes is unacceptable on campus at any time." CODE ENFORCED

The new code will be enforced by Dean McGeever and it was reported at the Council meeting that McGeever would order anyone not complying w th t he Dress Code off campus until he was properly dressed. The ASB Council passed the new dress cod e unanimously and Jim Logsdon ASB President with the support of the entire Council forwarded a commendation and recommendation that the dress code be adhe red to by students and be enforced by the administration.

I firmly believe t hat the ideal a udie n ce for this type of a production is around 150 to 200 people.
