Senate Approves Women’s RH Changes
The Senate has accepted pro
posals which would allow women
residence a grace period be-
for call-downs are issued, res
idence halls to remain open un
til 12:30 on Saturday nights
and Sunday night to be allotted
as a date night with the dorms
remaining open until 10:00,
This action stemmed from a
recommendation by the Nash
Residence Hall Council asking
for several major changes in
dormitory regulations for
women.
In other action, the senate
turned down a proposal that
women be allowed on-campus
privileges during the week from
7 p. m. till 10:30 p. m. in
the spring semester and an ad
ditional week night be set aside
for off-campus privileges not
classified as a date night.
The changes accepted are
stated as follows;
I. That all women residents
be allowed fifteen minutes per
semester as a grace period
for unexcused lateness, and that
the present calldown system be
imposed after the expiration of
this time period. It is rec
ommended that it be stressed
to the residents of North and
Nash Halls that this is for
their benefit and must not be
abused.
II. That the closing hour
for the residence halls be ex
tended until 12:30 on Saturday
nights.
III. That Sunday be added
as a date night for all women
residents, with 10:30 as the
closing hour.
IV. That three hours of free
late permission be granted each
resident woman per semester,
with the maximum free time
not to exceed one hour per late
permission. The grace period
described in (I) shall not be
applicable in such cases.
V. That c losed study be abol -
ished in Nash Hall for the
Spring Semester, to be replaced
by a general quiet period, which
should be strictly enforced by
the ARC’S and hall counselors.

Circle K Wins Two Awards:
White Wins District Election
The N. C. Wesleyan Circle

and had one of its delegates

ernor at the Carolinas District
Circle K Convention held in

r
Schoon, Smith, Crenshaw, Moore
Elected for 1967-68 Term
As the results of campus-
wide elections just completed.
Jack Winstead and Charles
Kemp will head up student gov
ernment for the 1967-68 school
year. Winstead was unopposed
in his bid for the presidency
while Kemp captured the vice
presidency from Jerry Merritt
on the third ballot.
In the races for other caiupus
political positions, Marilyn
Schoon was re-elected for a
second term as secretary, Ed
Smith was victorious in a sec
ond run-off for treasurer, Ron
Crenshaw was elected Attorney
General for the SLA in the first
run-off, and Tom Moore was
unopposed in his bid for De
fense Counselor.
This year’s elections were
marked by several very tight
races. In the battle for vice-
president, Kemp, Merritt and
Allen Ragsdale were forced in
to a run-off due to the close
ness of their total votes polled
in the first balloting. Nann
Brown, a fourth candidate,
missed the run-off by a mere
three votes.
In the first run-off, Ragsdale
was eliminated but Merritt and
Kemp were forced into an ad
ditional run-off. Kemp emerged
victorious, polling approxi
mately 40 more votes than his
opponent.
In the balloting for treasurer,
only three votes separated
Smith and Doug Windes in the
general Election. They finish
ed in a tie on the second bal
lot, but Smith was able to wrap
it up on the third ballot. His
margin of victory was seven
teen votes with considerably
fewer persons voting than were
recorded on previous days.
Six votes separated Ron
Crenshaw and Ray Martin af
ter the first balloting for At
torney General. In the run
off Crenshaw polled 201 votes
to 188 for Martin to emerge
victorious.
Elections officials reported
that the general turn-out of the
student body was good this year
and that interest seemed to run
high, even when voting for sev
eral offices were forced into
a third run-off. Low turn
out for the three days of voting
was the day of the third bal
lot when only 325 students voted.
