Cliffies' Cookies Will Not Crumble

Cliffies are used to fighting for important things like off-campus housing, or a voice in administrative decisions. Now the issue is Saturday night milk and cookies.

Members of the Administration proposed the elimination of the fifty-year-old tradition as an economy measure at a meeting of House Residents last Wednesday.

The Residents predicted wide-spread student opposition to the measure. Many students signed petitions circulated in several dormitories by House Residents in favor of maintaining the tradition.

Despite Cliffies' reputed sophistication, the desire to continue milk and cookies shows that "some of the innocence of the past" still exists, said Mrs. Austin. As one Barnard Hall sophomore said," I don't often use it, but it's nice to know it's there."
