sticker will be allowed on the hill friday and saturday nights the in terfraternity council decided tuesday campus police had previously presented to coordinator of greek affairs mike boyd two options they were willing to use to control the traffic flow the first option was to keep cars off the hill during certain hours on friday and saturday nights the other alternative was to allow on the hill only cars with sayre park stickers the sayre park sticker is a small sp which is mounted on the back of the rearview mirror so that the campus police can tell if the car is registered as it pulls up without having to stop the car until now sayre park stickers were only available to fraternity members who lived on the hill and were given out when a car was registered boyd explained that these stickers will now be available to any fraternity member who registers his car whether he lives in the house or off campus this includes the off-campus fraternities as well boyd added also any sorority member who registers her car will be given an sp sticker boyd commented that this way all members of the greek community will be allowed on the hill ifc president howard goldstein said that there are still some problems to iron out with the new traffic system several house presidents expressed concern that visitors to their houses will not be allowed up the hill boyd added that there will be special passes available for these situations in other ifc business boyd distributed a revised university definition of hazing from the dean of students office the new definition was written because
