Uot tvo -eekc ago I noticed a rign nailed .to a.tree at the collef^e Dond. For the firct tine since I have been here (3 years) the pond had been r'^co^^nised ac a oart of the 31on canpuG with the stat'i-..ent "... ?or the use or col ege ctur^ents and faculty only." How all of r. sudden, the oond has been declared off-.inits to Elon co-eds, (tjIio has ever heard of - college cai.'.pus being off-linits tc tae s.uaenLS. ) I suggest that the £jign -e aniLiended to read "... for Uie use of college nales ana -acuity only."

G£ course this nove will elininate perple::ing coral problems of today should the ooy hole the girl's right hand in his left or vi'-r versa. "i'f rjocial ' egre'^'ation be the ans:.’er, let us visualise the future: 1. Elon'will soon catch up :?ith colleges that are 2J years behind^us socially. 2. Girls and boys shall not sit on the can- 'ide oi: clascroous. if glancing r>aj-sists, students ol-.all be is?.ue-' blunders, 3. li’.le nail-nen nay not handle fen'le .nail. 4. Couoles -risking to d"te aust subr.it written consent frov' parents,,approval of the adniniatrative conrjittee, and an activitj'’ slip (designating the activit'f, nethod of travel-linited to walking and the bus- type of reEresIi- nents, and anount of noney- on.',nt) two weeks prior to the proposed engagenent. It seened as if the college -'ond restrictions had spread to the c'''.pus proper when rurors of "l!o-nhysical-contcct rules" b^gan spreading. All suspicions seev:ed confiri'ed when a girls dor:: nceting was called on liiy 1. ^rice the nale population o:: the car.ipus assenbled in front' of 'Ject Dom. ' The second gathering ^was pronptdd by a report fron a c-rtain female to her special nale that the "rule" had been passed. Uas thir too a runor? "7c never did get a definite answer fron the Lady Dei.n. She said thau it was the responsi- bilitv of the'girl to infori.' us. T7e had already ' een inforned that the rule liad^ been Dassed. ^’-nd we still didn’t know whrt was said. Then we were infor:.:ed th-t saca girl w-s to determine -rhat constituted "unlady-like" conduct. This neans that there would be 25J different definitions. Uho, then, w:ulc declore wh-t uniady-like^ conduct woul'’.^constitute 0-rounds for expuition? Of course, the Lady Dean. Ohe told us tain in our little talk. The fun'’y thing i". that thio has been the "olicy for the. p"ot three j^eMS. The sane cl-i’rification has been nade every spring. If only a few Teo")le our guilt^^ of frolicing beneath che jllons, w.'.y .reren u they spoken to f.ndividual'.y inste-d of --aking a big to-do -bout it. I:: tais iiad t^'ken place it would have saved us 11 sov'.e sleep "nd rinkie cov.ld l^ave e: ten lunch on scaedule. Co'-ld 'cu inaj.ine what would ha/:; happened if "the rule" liad been passed?
