Proposed Ral Caps
To Receive Hearing
By Student Council
The proposed change in rat caps
will go before the Student Council
for an authorization vote Tuesday
afternoon, President Jay Gardner
said last night.
The vote was postponed this week
because many council members felt
that they needed to find out more
about how the students feel. Gard
ner urged that all students contact
their council representatives to ex
press their choices on the matter.
The new cap is made on the style
of the Confederate military cap. The
body of the cap is red with black
bill and a black G on the top. The
cap for women is a beanie with al
ternating red and black sections.
A model of the Confederate cap will
be on display along with the present
cap in the Co-op until Saturday when
it will be taken to the Jennie Belle
Grill to remain until Tuesday.
Gardner stated that Student Coun
cil had decided to make a final dis
position of the question after it* be
came apparent that the freshman
class intended to take no action on
It.
