Administered by instruc- tors drawn from several departmenls and making use of laboratory facilities in iiroiip behavior wherever |)ossible. a new course in Human Hela- tions was also ofTered for the first time this year. Designed primarily to give students insight into their own actions and relations as members of vari- ous groups, the course re|)resented the culmination of more lliari two year ' s ])lanning by a faculty com- mittee. Finally, to permit a more effective utiliza- tion of the Colleges outstanding resources in the field of Northern Studies, a seminar covering the physical and cultural characteristics of the Arctic regions was approved by the Faculty Council. The new course was designed Id formalize extensive research on the Arctic done by both students and faculty members in recent years and at the same lime, to give those undergraduates interested a chance to become acquainted with the facilities |)rovided by the Baker and Steffanson Libraries. Intramural athletics were ag ain a vital part of undergraduate recreational activities. Student in- terest in these games reached a new high during llif year just passed, and competition in both frater- nity and dormitory leagues was unusually spirited. In the 19.52 softbail fiiials. the Tuck Tycoons de- Kufiliy makes it Hanover dchul children were given by most of the fralcrnilies, while the Glee Club and the Mary Hitchcock nurses joined voices for a combined concert of Yuletide music.

The arrival of mid-vear fnials broughl a con- spicuous increase in the innnbcr of slndents hunched over study room tallies in IJukcr. along sith a pronounced upswing in No-Doz sales by local drug stores. The weather during the week- and-a-half seige of sweat, toil and writer ' s cram]) was its usual murky best but the preparations for the first de-emphasized Winter Carnival in Dart- mouth historv hel])ed to alleviate the strain consid- erably. Carnival this year was unique in many respects. For the first time in several years, there was no jirin- cipal theme after which the weekend was patterned. Elaborate provisions for restricting the number of outside visitors were adopted and put into elTecl by a connnillce coni|)ii cd (if represenlalixes from the U(;(:. IPC. IDC. and DOC.

With irilcnl nf rcluiriing Carnival to its proper place as a fum lion by and for Dartmouth men. the aiiniiiii lrali(i]i enacted a series of regulations cov- ering almost every aspect of the weekend, but de- signed primarily to discourage mass emigrations from such remote outposts of civilization as Am- herst, Cambridge, and New Haven. IPC identifica- lion cards were required for admittance to fraler- riily jiarties, and each house was allowed lo in ilc a maximum of forty-five non-Dartmouth guests. While dormitory rules regarding female guests re- mained michanged. special identification cards were required of all other outside visitors using dormi- tory facilities during the weekend, and these pro- visions were stringently enforced by a battalion of s|)ecial jiolice assigned lo all dorms on campus. Despite the ajiparent coni|3le ity of the new reg- ulations, the weekend was adjudged a definite success in most quarters.
