American University Frosh Girls
Are Barred From Using Vanity Gases

! The rigors of college life fell heavily
upon the heads of the freshman girls
81 American University last week when
the "Gosling Court" ruled vanity cases
cut of their public lives and capped the
cdict With an order that all first-year
girls wear green aprons and gold beretS
every school day until Easter.
The wee green viSored caps worn by
freshman boys at the university are ia
Iniliar and accepted burdens Of first
ncardom, but the application of SIM
lar rule for girls is new at American.
Un1cr the rules imposed upon the
ffrst-year girls. none may carry at any
.ime a vanity case" nor may she use
such feminine requisite in public.
Instead OF penalty the green beretS
have become the vogue of the campus
and the new girls have taken great
pride in their new headgear which for
tunately have had the effect Of adding
10 rather than detracting from theii
appearance.
Must Wear Tags.
The freshman boys and girls likewise
r. under the same injunction to wear
rom the opening of college until Octo-
ocr Is, "a regulation green tag, upon
