Dodds Bans Males, Dates From Eating Clubs Today

"Honor before pleasure," President Dodds told the Princetonian just before Game Time today, after he ordered all male and female guests banned from 12 Eating Clubs, beginning at seven this evening.

The news broke after an emergency meeting between the President, Dean of Students William D'O Lippincott, Dean of the College Francis B. reason was given for the ultimatum, which caused all of the gentlemen to miss part of the opening quarter.

But informed sources said another "unfortunate incident" had occurred last night in one of the Clubs. It was the second such incident involving Princeton men and female guests this year. Dean Godolphin said off the record, "Dodds is plenty mad. We just can't continue to ignore these incidents."

For the press, he issued a statement calling on "all loyal Princeton men to "cooperate in keeping the reputation of Nassau free from stain.

He listed four clubs, Ivy, Cottage, Dial, Key and Seal that would be unaffected by the ruling. "They were closed to guests last night and can in no way be implicated in this outrage," he stated.

The Prince immediately contacted the janitors at all four Prospect Street, eateries, and persuaded them to open their doors this evening for the good of the College. All agreed that it would be a very good idea.

Billies Swinging

One other Club, Quadrangle, may escape the ban because Interclub chairman Clark promised the President and Deans that his club had nothing to do with the trouble. He issued a "no comment" on the subject.

Lippincoot on all undergraduates from both schools to accept the ultimatum "like Christian gentlemen."

But chances are if Princeton men show there true colors, "town-gown" relations many be hurt, when acting Police Chief John H. Smith tries to clear most of Prospect Ave. There have been many occasions in the past, however, when town-gown relations have not been so good.

"I don't want no trouble," the Chief told the Prince, but he said he would have his force mobilized ready to come in with billy bates swinging if the President called on him.

Prospects that the proctors would not break the "the gentleman's agreement," and also come storming onto Prospect Street at the President's bidding seem slight.

To serenade what underrates and guests who stick around or who jam into Ivy, Cottage, Campus, and Tower, The Princetonian has contracted Billy Butterfield's band and singer Jane.
