Cliffes Enraged at Signout Plan

Scores of protesting Cliffies are expected to join in a massive sit-out in the Thursday night, if the Radcliffe Government Association legislature adopts proposals for new sign-out rules afternoon.

The sit-out is part of a growing movement protesting the RGA Social Rules Committee's recommended changes and its authority to regulate Cliffies social lives at all. The Cliffies will fall to sign out and sit in the Quad from 10 or 11 p.m. on into the night.

The more revolutionary Cliffies plan his insurrection, less radical reformists in Barnard Hall and 54 Concord Ave. have been circulating a petition calling college-wide referendum on not only rules, but on whatever other new proposals the Rules Committee may make the rest of the year.

Barnard residents are also requesting RGA to make a statement of the principles on which it bases its right to legislate Cliffies' social lives.

A third line of attack is being used by residents of Avon House, who have been recruiting concerned Cliffies to throng to the RGA legislature meeting. They have also urged people to flood RGA with letters. Signs have gone up in some dorms urging participation in the Avon House strategy.

The protestors are not content with RGA modifications in the plan. "While the RGA amendments would bring the sign out rules just out of the Victorian Age, they can hardly be called liberal," one revolutionary declared.
