HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Drastically overhauling its club system, the Princeton Board of Trustees has adopted rules stating that every academically eligible Sophomore must be admitted to some club if he so wished, it was learned last night.
The new regulations were adopted in response to last year's led by the Daily Princetonian, undergraduate paper, against "false standards of social stratification" and "hush-hush ritual."
Under the new plan groups of between five and ten Sophomores state in order their club preference. The clubs also name their preferences for the groups, and where first choices coincide, election is automatic. A central committee appointed by President Harold W. Dodds then compares the lists of preferences and assigns groups to club until each club has its proper number.
The new system outlaws the traditional bicker week for club calling and largely abolishes the clubs' former right to select their members. Election to Princeton clubs will now be very similar to the system of House assignments here.
