FRF.SHMKl.'1 CUSTOMS
During one of the first weeks of school, freshmen are introduced to a week of initiation to college life. A Customs Cormnittee composed of upperclassmen,- schedules, plans and regulates all the
freshmen activities of the week. Each day of customs ·week is designated <':lS .a _specific· day. For
instance, in past years, Bloomsburg has had a Civil
Defense Day, when one of the stunts planned for
freshmen entailed carrying a wastepaper basket and,
putting the weste can over one's head. Other events
included in rast freshmen customs programs were
Indian Day, Kiddies Day, Rain Day and Trial Night.
Upon arrival at school, first year students receive
a schedule of freshman activities which i'nclude
these freshm~n customs.

SMCKERS
Smoking inside the buildings is confined· to
the Husky Lounge and the Gollege Commons Lobby, and
other rooms provided for that purpose.
Smokers arP orovidcd on each floor oft·h e d©I!Jl,itory for those women who wish to make use of them.
· Women may smoke only in these smokers,never
in individual rooms. Or.:e" section of the smokers
is dedicated to reading or studying and is ·furnished with comfortable chairs,. This section is
used for study; smoking is only permitted on tho side
~1hi.:.rp· the .telephone and fountain are located.
It is necessary for us to follow strictlythese
regulations regarding smoking because of the fire

CHRISTMAS SPIRITIN6
11.s Christmas apptoaches, many of the girls
decorate not only their doors but also -the smokers.
Since electric light bulbs are hazardous, they
are used only with special permission, and then
only in the srriokers or study'areas.
Every year the week before v~cation is dedicated to "Christmas Spiriting." The n.:unes of all
the girls on each floor are placed in a box. Each
·girl then draws a name, and becomes a 11 Spirit 11 to
the girl whose name sho has drawn. For.:six · days
she does a kind act such as making her bed, or
leaving a small inexpeh~ive gift by tho _dobr.
To climax all the· events of the week, a Resident Women's Christmas Party · is held. Each girl
finds out the name of her Spirit in the exchange
of gifts that highlights the f~stivities. •
Down through the years Cbristrnas Spiriting
has become a .delightful tr~d~tion in Waller Hall.
