Oh, and happy April Fools' Day!
This has been excerpted from The Flyer's ancestral organization, The Holly Leaf. These requirements for incoming freshmen appeared in the Sept. 13, 1965 release of the then Salisbury State College's student newspaper. Said regulations were sanctioned under the administration of former SSC President Dr. Wilbur Devilbiss.
