Survey Will Test Plan to Eliminate Stadium Single-Seat Priority Ruling

The Student Council last night voted unanimously to lower an ear earthwards and check undergraduate opinion on the matter of having females in the heretofore all-male rooting section.

An all-College poll will ask for undergraduate acceptance or rejection of a proposal which would cast out the present system of ticket allocation and give single and double applications equal priority within a class.

Will Release Poll

The poll, to be released late this week, will serve as a guide for future Council section on the subject, Patrick D. Dailey '50, chairman of the ticket committee, said following last night's session.

Declaring himself to be agreeable to any student-backed plan presented to him by the Council, H.A.A. Director William J. Bingham '16, voiced no personal objection to having women in the cheering section. He emphasized, however, that he would make such a change only if convinced that the majority of students supported it.

It was thought, however, that any far-reaching change could not be effected during the remainder of the present playing season.

Paired with the poll resolution was another that reaffirmed the policy which last weekend brought into effect a long-standing rule excluding women from the cheering section. The Council removed any onus for the policy from the H.A.A., and proposed to set up a special staff of ushers to cheels on "overt and patent abuses in the student seating area."

Special Council Investigators

Bailey and his committee will meet with Bingham today to ask that some sort of official status be given the Council ushers. The special investigators will require Bursar's cards from any person thought to be a non-student, Dailey said. Any abuses brought to light will be taken under Council advisement, he added.

The Council's action was preceeded by an afternoon statement from Bingham which promised that the "no-girl" rule would again be enforced by his operatives during the Dartmouth game.
