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

tem. On March 5, the

petition on Sunday even
