purchased
for .55, will not be
burned at the homecoming football rally but will be sold back to the
Student Government
Association.
This will enable the caps to be sold
to freshmen next year at a reduced
price and insure a supply of caps
in case there should be none on the
market next year.
The biggest problem of this tradition has been in the enforcing
of the wearing of the peanut hat.
The SGA. however, is planning to
overcome this by getting the fraternities and sororities, together
with other campus organizations to
see to it that their members wear
their caps.
