254 For the men of Wiess, the year seemed an attempt to prove themselves gentlemen and scholars. Scholars, yes, as college, members accumulated more PBK memberships Qtenj, more Woodrow Wilson Scholarships Qfivej, and more National Science Foundation scholarships ffourj than any other college. But as gentlemen, they would not conform. Following much general discussion, several Cabinet meetings, and a college meeting, an election was conducted in an attempt to define evening dress in the Commons. To some it seemed a question of ties or no tiesg to others, blue jeans or slacks, and to the rest, socks or none. But the Cabinet's seemingly ambiguous referendum settled nothing, and clothes remained come-as-you- are, or as-you-can-get-by-with. However questionable the Cabinet action, at least it was acting, and more was to follow. The need for a more explicit definition of the differ- ences in duties and responsibilities of the Cabinet and the College Court resulted in another referendum. The college members supported the Court's view of distinct juris- diction in disciplinary matters and favored legislation to improve communication between the two bodies. summers parish merwin hellums franklin o'nei1 parrish baker dvoretsky baker
