College Bans Dillon Bonfire; Rally Will be held at I.A.B.

No Fires Will Burn

Plans to hold tomorrow night's Dartmouth rally at Dillon Field House were abandoned yesterday when University Police Chief Alvin R. Randall imposed a ban on bonfires at Soldiers Field. The rally will instead take place at the traditional Blockhouse site.

Head cheerleader Roger L. Butler '51 met yesterday with representatives from the Crimson Key, the Band, the CRIMSON, and football manager, Charles J. Keever '51. This group agreed that without a bonfire and flares Dillon would attract few ralliers.

100 Piece Band

Efforts to make tomorrow's rally a success were bolstered, however, by the assurance of band manager Paul A. Lucey '51 that about 100 band members (twice the usual number) would play at the rally.

A gallows will be erected at the Blockhouse from which a Dartmouth Indian will be hung in effigy. Reports from Hanover indicate that this hanging might be halted by Big Green supporter.

The rally planners hope to include Massachusetts Avenue in the marching route, but riot-conscious Randall is also trying to veto this scheme. Randall explained yesterday that the Cambridge Police Department does not want traffic tied up on Mass Avenue or a repetition of last year's Princeton riot.
