Two Students Discontinue Sale Of Unofficial Radcliffe Shirts Following a Warning by Epps

Archie C. Epps III, dean of students, earlier this week asked two students to discontinue the sale of unofficial Radcliffe Centennial t-shirts.

"It is against University rules to sell anything on campus for personal profit since both shirts used the Radcliffe name when permission was neither sought nor given," Epps said yesterday.

The t-shirts, both styles bearing the name "Radcliffe," carry the slogans, "Once a bitch, always a bitch," and "Radcliffe--where women come first."

No Shirt

Barlett C. Nayler '78, one of the former t-shirt salesmen, said if he can get support from a campus organization and permission from Radcliffe, he will try to sell the remaining t-shirts. "We're not going to lose our shirts," Nayler said, adding the loss could amount to $50. Andrew Freeman '81, the other t-shirt salesman, refused to comment.

President Horner said since the t-shirts were not official entries in the Radcliffe Centennial t-shirt competition, they cannot be considered official.

"No other t-shirts are allowed to use the Radcliffe name nor the seal--especially the seal," Horner said, adding the t-shirt salesmen may request permission to use the name.

"I think it is hard to say if permission would be granted," she added.

Epps said no disciplinary action will be taken since the salesmen have stopped the t-shirt sales.

Horner said five official t-shirt runner-ups in the Radcliffe Centennial competition will be sold in September.

No Involvement

Both Horner and Epps denied any Radcliffe Corporation involvement in the decision to ban the unofficial t-shirt sales.
