Spirits of '76 Dampened by Regulations of '08

"Kag-parties," the d r i n k i n g
vogue of the early twentieth cen-
tury, produced the first in a series1
of University drinking regulations.
The parties, which involved con-
sumption of large quantities of
lager, came to the attention of
the Faculty Senate in June, 1908.
The practice of student organiza-
tions meeting "in rooms or halls
attached to or connected with sa-
loons" was condemned and stu-
dents connected with it subject to
disciplinary action.

thile the idea of prohibiting
drinking in fraternity houses was
thought to be sound, enforcement
was considered to be impossible.

tempted to gain an eased set of
drinking rules, but in 1946 the
committee decided that they
didn't deserve favored treatment.
The most pertinent changes oc-
curred as a result of a 1948 inves-
tigation which moved to change
the regulation: "The use or pres-
ence of intoxicating beverages in
student quarters is not permitted."
New Rule Set
In its place was to be substitut-
ed the state and city ordinances
on this matter. This proposal
failed. Joint Judiciary Council at-
tempted to define "student quar-

In addition to dormitories and
affiliate housing, they listed coops,

RACKING UP-Neither snow nor sleet prevents University students from riding their bicycles or
parking them in front of the Undergraduate Library. To alleviate the situation, the Student Gox-
ernment Council has been conducting a campaign to persuade peddling students to use the adjacent
bicycle racks. Hundreds of empty spaces stand only 50 feet from the front of the Library.

Success story-with a moral to it
s
"
Robert G. "Pete" McCullough got his
Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia
in June, 1953. In September, he took
a job selling for a manufacturing firm.
He was hurriedly trained-and, after
23,000 miles on the road, decided he
wasn't fully using his capabilities.
He resigned and contacted his college
Placement Office. Interviews with a
host of firms followed. Pete chose the
New York Telephone Company.
That was April, 1954. He spent the
next 13 months training-getting basic
experience as installer, repairman,
frameman, staff assistant, etc. He was
then appointed Service Foreman.
In January, 1957, he moved over to
the business side of the company. In
May, 1957, he became a supervisor. In
January, 1958, he managed a business
office serving 25,000 customers, with 42
people reporting to him.
In October, 1958, Pete was promoted
again-to District Commercial Mana-
ger. Reporting to him now are two
business office managers, nine super-
visors and 54 service representatives
and clerical personnel. There are 64,000
customers in the territory he heads up.
That's Pete's story-up to now. Fu-
ture promotions depend on him. Op-
portunities are practically unlimited in
the Bell Telephone Companies for Pete
and many young men like him.
Moral: The most capable of men
need good training and honest pro-
motion opportunities to move ahead as
they should. Shop carefully for your
career. And be sure to talk to the Bell
interviewer when he visitsyour campus.
