Possible Revision Of
Women’s Rules
By BRUCE WASHBURN
A student committee will con-
vene at the start of the Win
ter Semester with the purpose
of reviewing existing regulations
(or women students, and propos
ing practical revisions. The com
mittee, appointed by Noel Allen,
President of the Student Govern
ment Association, is to be ad
vised by Dean June Looney, As-
sociated Dean of Students. It is
composed of one girl from each
class, one from the S.G.A., and
one from the Women’s Inter-
dormitory CounciL A female
member of the faculty, who has
not yet been named, will work
with the committee, also.
Particular emph^is will be
given to the current “signing-
out” routine, the policy of grant
ing "lates," the 11:00 and 12:30
curfews, and dress regulations.
Changes ^liich the committee
feels are necessary and real
istic will be submitted to the
Administration by Dean Looney,
with the proposal to have them
put in effect, on a trial basis,
during the Spring Semester. If
these revisions prove acceptable
during that semester, it will be
asked that they be incorporated
in the Eton College Handbook,
and become permanent.
The oblective of the commit
tee is not to be radical or over
ly permissive-but feimply to be
reasonable. As Dean Looney, a
former daughter of Elon Col
lege herself, has stated, “It’s
time to consider the revision of
some of the rules." With this
axiom in mind, the committee
will review and revise where
necessary, and endeavor to pre
sent more acceptable and prag
matic policies to enable the wo
men of Elon College to exercise
the maturity and responsibility
they possess.
RAP
Four-one-four has been agree
able aside from the necessary
Saturday classes and the im
mense pressure in the home
stret(±. Perhaps this has been a
transitional semester however,
and “time will appease the dis
satisfaction.” I use that phrase
with some reservation as it is
well known that the College ope
rates on that premise!
Some are studying now for
tteir careers, some merely to

Senate Report
By MORROW MILLER
On December 11th the student
Senate was called to order for
the first time since Thanksgiving,
Unlike the past meetings this
year, no bills or resolutions were
introduced or acted upon. The
main purpose of this meeting
was to discuss the possibility
of having meeting during the
winter term and to hear a speech
from President Allen.
It was decided that the Senate
must meet during winter term in
order to organize the Senate and
prepare for heavy load expected
during the spring. The Senate
may find it necessary to call
several meeting in the spring
semester, in order to make up
for lost time this semester.
After this discussion President
Allen made a short speech on what
progress has been made this
year. After this, the President
opened the floor to questions from
the senators. Some of the ques
tions concerned the future radio
station, which is hoped will be
opened in March, and The Coffee
House which was opened Saturday,
involved the Student-Faculty
Committee i«Wch will study the
problem of the present Chapel
system. Before President Allen
left the senate floor, he urged
“more positive effort for the
Senate”, and to seek the opin
ions of the students they rep.
resent.
Before the Senate adjourned,
Mr. Bleiberg expressed his con
cern over the poor Senate at
tendance and the abuse of senate
furniture by some other group,
Mr. Bleiberg hopes the atten-
dence of the senate will improve,
and expressed disgust over the
fact that some people do not
know how to take care of others
property.
