doubtedly taken place, though
not one formal complaint has as
yet been filed with the police de¬
partment; 2. These disturbances
have been aggravated by rumors
and exaggerated reports; 3 Ade¬
quate police patrolling of the
Bowl and bowl area has been ai'-

Campus Rules
Explained
Virginia Dean, clerk of the
court, called the minor court to
order with Rosemary Soghomon-
ian presiding as judge on Thurs¬
day, November 2.
Most offenses dealt with smok¬
ing on the campus, and contempt
of court. George Mooradian pled
not guilty to the charge of dis¬
orderly conduct. The case was
heard yesterday in Superior
Court.
A plea of guilty was heard
from Herman Fox to the charge
of smoking in a car parked in the
student lot. The fine was §2.00.
Justice Soghomonian issued
a statement in an effort to clar¬
ify two campus rules. Sweaters
are only illegal when they carry
the emblem of another school,
not the stripes on the sleeve.
Vagrancy will be handled by the
downtown police. A person is
liable for a charge of vagrancy
only under two conditions: (1)
he breaks a school rule, and (2)
lie is not a member of the stu¬
dent body.
