Glen Rules Put in Effect After the general clean-up of the Glen, students are requested to follow these general rules and procedures. The glen regulations have been made in accordance with the pur-pose for which the college was originally established, that is � the education of teachers for the state. It will be necessary for all groups to get a permit from the main office in order to keep the schedules running smoothly. The college will need a report on the condition of the glen from all who are granted permits in order to maintain a high standard of order-liness and to place responsibility upon those who share in the bene-fits of the college. The report should be sent to the main office to Mrs. Twele within two days after the day of the permit for the use of the Glen. If a group fails to make a report, or return the permit, future re-quests will not be granted. All student organizations, class sections, campus faculty, and staff who participate in approved col-lege activities will authorize in writing on the offical plan pro-vided in the office the purpose of using the glen. Groups should all be sponsored by a faculty adviser.
