PAGE 2 MAROON AND GOLD FRIDAY. APRIL 25, 1969 Campus RuleChanges Sought Dr. J. E. Danieley, president of Elon Col lege, released on Tues day morning, April 15th, a statement to the Elon students, faculty and staff a special statement con cerning a petition which had been presented to him during the previous week end concerning certain campus rules. The petition, a portion of which was presented to Dr. Danieley on Sat urday night, April 13th, by a small committee, first concerned a campus reg ulation concerning dress in the campus cafeterias at certain weekend meals. At that time Dr. Daniel ey agreed to discuss the matter with the group in his office the following week. On the following night, a slightly larger group that included about 125 students by actual head count, which means that it Included well under ten percent of the Elon stu dent body, presented a pe tition to President Dan ieley in which six points of campus regulations were listed. It was this second petition that Dr. Danieley answered in his statement on April 15th. He stated that the students were very orderly in pre senting the petition. The petition listed the following issues: 1. Dress for men in the cafeterias. ; -2. Smoking in' class rooms and cafeterias. 3. Dormitory.rules for women. : , - 4; Chapel point system. 5. Sunbathing rules. 6. Drinking rules In his statement this morning. President Dan ieley took up each of the points in turn and dis cussed them. His state ment follows: (IX COATS AND TIES IN THE CAFETERIAS. For many years it has been traditional for men students to dress for the noon meal on Sunday. A few years ago, student leaders suggested that they would like to have one evening meal each week which would be somewhat special. They suggested Saturday even ing, and a three-way a- greement was reached whereby the cafeteria would serve steaks, and the students would dress for the meal. No request in any form from any student regarding tnis is sue came to my attention until I received the peti tion Saturday evening. I have talked with SGA President Noel Allen since the petition. He will consult with other stu dents with regard to the possibility of terminating the agreement which was made about the Saturday evening meal and will re port student reaction to me. At my request, he is also asking a representa tive group of students to recommend for conside ration guidelines for dress for the noon meal on Sunday. (2) SMOKING IN CLASS- ROOMS AND CAFETER IAS. We believe that there are valid reasons for these regulations. Smok ing in the cafeteria re sults in using dishes as ashtrays, makes extra problems for the cleanup crew during and after mealtime, damages the facilities (there are more than 30 burned spots on the carpet in Harper Cen ter cafeteria after less than five months of use) and creates the problem of some students remain ing at the tables to sm oke after finishing their meals, with the tables needed for others. Smok ing in the classrooms causes problems in housecleaning, need for ash trays, damage to floor and furnishings and dis comfort for non-smok ers, In consideration of these problems and in view -of health factors, wKlcih we are told are in volved for the smoker,it does not seem wise to make any change in these regulations. (3) DORMITORY RULES FOR WOMEN STUDENTS. Earlier this year Presi dent Allen appointed a student committee which worked with a member of the faculty and a member of the administration in proposing revisions of the rules for women. The Wo men’s Interdormitory Council is working on some proposals which are yet to be presented. When those proposals are re ceived, affirmative action can be taken and neces sary revisions made. (4) CHAPEL POINT SYSTEM. President Al len presented a request to the Education Commit tees on March 4 concern ing the chapel point sys MAROON and gold Dedicated to the best Interests of Elon College and Its students and faculty, the Maroon and Gold is pub lished weekly during the college year with the excep tion of holiday and examination periods at Elon College, N.C.

(5) SUNBATHING RULES. No student had mentioned the sunbathing rules prior to the presentation of the petition on Sunday even ing. 1 am asking Deans Berry and Looney to re view the regulations and to seek a solution which is acceptable to the majority of our students. (6) DRINKING RULES. Mr. Allen talked with the Education Committee of the Board of Trustees a- bout the drinking rules on March 4, The board dis cussed this question at its meeting but did not take any action, A spe cial student-faculty com mittee appointed by Mr. (Continued on page 4) LEADERS OF ELON SOPHOMORE CLASS FOR THIS YEAR !
