Susquehanna University - 1960 to 1969

In a policy that would be considered surprising by today's standards, Susquehanna students were permitted to have hunting rifles on campus in 1968. The rifles were used for the purpose of hunting wild game. For a $1.00 fee, a rifle could be registered and held at the Student Personnel Office. The owner could check out the gun to hunt. Failure to register a rifle resulted in a $10.00 fine. Failure to return the weapon directly after hunting held a $5.00 fine. The entire gun policy is outlined in this image from the 1968-1969 Student Handbook.
