Women’s Hours Abolished Effective Inunedlately mmm —Grinnell, la, - (L P.)- Grinnell College has abolished women’s hours effective im mediately. President Glenn Leggett said the Board of Trustees approved the new policy in the t-'lief “that any regulation of coilege women’s hours, either by the college or by the individual, is a matter of security rather than mo rality and that reasonable se curity can be assured within the women’s residences with out the necessity of the col lege’s maintaining an arbitrary ‘hours’ system.” Dean of Women Alice O. Low said the decision was made after careful and lengthy discussion among individual students, the representatives of student gov ernment groups, the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs, and the student deans. “The college is aware that significant changes have oc curred over the years in at titudes and practices which affect the social regulations of women.” Dean Low said. since neither contemporary parental practices nor educa tional philosophy tends to sup port such regulation. “The way a student uses his or her time clearly has an effect on the individual’s aca demic success and social life, but the relative effect varies greatly on individuals and at different times,” Dean Low said. “From an academic point of view, it seems likely tha^ self regulation, with its (.iierent necessity for the s; metimes painful development of self- discipline and an increasingly intelligent sensitivity to pri orities and proportion, has a firmer educational justifica tion than a gradually relaxing system of arbitrary hours set by the college.” Dean Low said the self-reg- ulation of women’s hours will apply without regard to parental permission, adding that the col lege is unwilling to continue to undertake regulation over and above that which parents are able to encourage. “The responsibility must rest with the individual student and with her parents in their normal family relationship,” she added. “These ciianges have been re flected in a gradual relaxa tion of the time limits which have been imposed on college women in their freedom to re main outside the college dorm itories, and the hours imposed on piost campuses today are far more liberal than they were only a decade ago.” Dean Low added that it has been increas ingly difficult to justify the regulation of women’s hours since neither contemporary parental practices nor educa tional philosophy tends to sup port such regulation. “The w..y a student uses his or her time clearly has an effect on the individual’s aca demic success and social life, but the relative effect varies greatly on individuals and at See WOMEN’S HOURS.
