(Continued on page 10) Tech and SLU Powers Planning Vandal Damper In an effort to avoid further displays of vandalism which have occurred during past years the Board of Governors of Clarkson has been meeting with Dean Far- issee and the \Block L\ Club of St. Lawrence contemplating any such acts on either campus. Discussed at th e Wednesdav meeting of the two groups were the dangers of excessive speeding between Potsdam and Canton which have existed in late years. Although no fatalities have oc- curred in the past, several stu- dents have had close-calls. It is now felt that decided action should be taken to avoid any such possibility of accidents occur- ring. To curb any acts of speeding. Route 11 will be patrolled 1* hours daily until the culmination of the St. Lawrence-Clarkson foot- ball tilt. Any speeders caught be- tween these towns will be fined fifty dollars at the minimum. Among steps taken by the two organizations to halt acts of van- dalism are attempts being made to remove the reasons for going to either communitv. Bonfires on both campuses will not be built until Friday afternoon and the St. Lawrence bonfire will be closely guarded by their freshmen prior to its being burned. Also both Clarkson and St. Lawrence fresh- men will not be required to wear their dinks next week until game time, thus removing one of the motives for raiding rival camps. The social organizations of both campuses have been urged to re- frain from organizing any group activities that may be directed to- ward acts of destruction to build- ings and property of both colleges. 1 I.F.C.
