Dr. Stone, Legislative Body Announce
Acceptance Of Four Student Petitions
SMS Students Receive Dating
Privileges, Weekly Meal Cuts
xMice MTlson, chairman of Leg
islative Body, announced in assem
bly yesterdiiy the decisions on the
student petitions which were con
sidered by the Legislative Body at
meetings the first of this semester.
The first petition, “That seniors
be allowed to stay out until 9 :45
p. m. on Sunday night, was
passed by the Legislative Bodj
and Dr. Stone, “since this extra
fifteen minutes allows adequate
time to dine, see a movie, and
return.”
The second petition, “That Sat
urday night dinner be voluntary
for all students, provided students
not out on a slip be revpiired to
s gn up, ' was jiassed by the Legis
lative Body and Dr. Stone. This,
it is hoped, will eliminate meal
skipping, and will help the die
tician in calculating the numbei
of people to be at meals.
The third petition, “That the
recreation room be ojien^
weekday afternoon from 5:00 to
5:55 for dating, v’itb a faculty
member present as hostess, ^''as
reiected bv the Legislative Body
because of'the difficulty of obtain
ing a faculty hostess and the ini-
lu-acticability of having boys on
back campus.
The fourth petition, 1 hat stu
dents be allowed to take late lights
in their rooms." was rejected by
Dr. Stone because of the fact that
students must observe cpiiet on the
halls from 10:00 to 11:00 p. m.
before tbis petition can again be
considered.
The fifth petition, “That all stu
dents be allowed two meal cuts a
week,” was passed by the Legis
lative Body and Dr. Stone with
the stipulation “that these cuts
not be used for skipping break
fast.”
The sixth petition, “That fresh
men and sophomores be allowed to
date together and no longer be
recpiired to date with an upper
classmen.” was passed by the Leg
islative Bod.v and rejected b.v Dr.
Stone who added that the U.D.L.
would be larger at the beginning
of next year and would steadily
be increased during the year.
The seventh jietition, “That stu
dents be allowed to date the same
boy as many times as their dating
privileges permit them on the
week end provided they obtain
parental permission,” was passed
by the Legislative Body and Dr.
Stone, because if a student is al
lowed to date the same boy on
camjnis as many times as she
chooses, there is no reason wh.v
she shouldn’t date him off campus
as many times as she chooses.
The decision on the eighth peti
tion, “That juniors and under
classmen get a week end first se
mester,” has not been announced.
