Housemasters Approve Freshman Dining Plan

Freshmen will be able to visit House for dinner more often than in the past, the Housemasters decided last night, when they approved undergraduate-proposed revisions in the freshman visitation program.

The previous limit of two visits to each House during the entire period was boosted to four-one each week-to be enforced by a system of punched cards. This year's visitation period is scheduled from March 7 to April 1.

The proposal was one of a number originally made by a group of House Committee and activity heads, and seconded by the Student council before being submitted to the Masters.

Other revisions approved by the Masters were the proctoral unit system of meetings with freshmen describing the House system, conducted by crimson of the annual House tours.

First proctoral unit meetings were held last night, and will conclude this evening.

Limit Decision Due

House tours this year will be conducted by both Crimson Key representatives and members of respective House Committees, rather than just the Key. These will be held March 7 to 12, and will leave from Widener Library at 2 p.m. each day.

The only question left undecided by the Masters was that of limiting the number of freshmen at each House in any one night. Attempting to halt overcrowding and to promote contact between visiting freshmen and House members, the original proposal called for a limit of 45 per night. The Student council left the number up to House authorities, however, and the final decision will be made today.

Neither the Masters not the Council expected any difficulty in resolving the question, "This should be easily ironed out-the Council just didn't want to destroy the free choice of the individual Houses," Edward M. Abramson '57, treasurer of the council, said last night.
