Dartmouth Feels
High Cost Of Liuing

HANOVER, N. H., Jan. 10
The Dartmouth Athletic
Council has made radical
change in the method Of award
ing of sweaters to members Of
teams who win their insignia.
Hereafter sweater will be
awarded to the man the first time
that he wins his insignia, but the
second time he will receive two
service stripes and the third time
he will receive three service
stripes. In the past it has been the
custom to give a man sweater
every time that he won his insig-
MIA. This change will relieve the
council of heavy expense, as
there have been cases in which
one man received as many as ten
sweaters.
