NEW ARGONAUTS under The Symbol of Their Society the poll favored revision in at least one of the rules. The poll was conducted among all the students in four University wo men's dormitories and four sorority houses. 447 questionaries were is sued and 230 were returned for a icturn of 56. This return was considerably bet ter than some of the recent polls I made by the Graham Memorial Activities Board s Polls Committee. 149 women expressed opposition to the new rules, while 61 others criticized or wanted to eliminate at least one of the rules. Lights out rules, closed study were among those most criticized rules, and weekend permission rules by the women. In all the dormitory and sorority districts but two, the rules were scored. In the two that favored the rules the poll showed that the count was 5-3 and 9-7 with exceptions in a majority of cases. The poll also showed that the coeds actually favored the earlier closing hour regulations, and cer tain deprivation of privileges for freshman coeds who do not obtain a C average.

By CHARLIE SLOAN The Women's Residence Council yesterday endorsed a statement de claring that it is clearly empowered j by the Student Consitution to pass dormitory and social rules and con sider problems affecting women stu dents. According to Council Chairman Lillian Shannonhouse the WRC be gan an investigation of the status of rules for freshman women at Carolina last fall. Two reasons were offered by the Council for the investigation. There will be approximately 50 freshman women living on the main campus next fall instead of the previous number of less than 15. The WRC felt that their needs, with respect to rules, should be studied. The second reason stems from a request during the 1956-57 session of the Student Legislature calling for uniform rules for all freshman wo men enrolled at the University. Ac cording to the Council's statement this was the culmination of a "long felt" discrepancy betwen rules for freshman women on the' main cam pus and those in the School of Nur sing. As a result of the investigation and "the responsibility vested in the Council by the Student Govern ment Constitution" a set of rules have been drawn up which "the Council feels workable and neces sary." "In the formulation of the rules this group worked closely with the School of Nursing, the Office of the Dean of Women, and with rules of outstanding college and universities in this area in which freshman wo men are enrolled," the statement said. The WRC granted that many schools place no stringent restric tions on the social or academic lives cf their freshman women. However, it is the consensus of the WRC that a majority of outstanding women's colleges in the Southeast do place these restrictions on their freshmen women, and with notable success," the Council's release continued.-' It was- pointed out that the mem bers of the WRC are a representa tive group of transfer students from colleges such as these, and the members wish to give to the fresh man women coming to this cam (See OTHER, Page 3) Interviews Being Held For Y Posts Applicants are now being inter viewed at the YMCA for cabinet positions for the 1958-59 school year.

WRC Chairman Gives Opinion On New Rules Lillian Shannonhouse, chairman of the Women's Residence Council, yesterday issued the following statement in regard to the ex pressed opposition to the new rules governing Freshmen women at Carolina: "The Women's Residence Coun cil is empowered by the Constitu tion of the Student Government of the University of North Carolina to draw up and enforce rules for all women students on this campus. This is agroup elected by the dor mitories and sororities to represent them in governing women's affairs. "The current issue concerning Freshman rules is a matter of tremendous importance to the wo men on the campus, so much so ' that the Women's Residence Coun cil and the Dean of Women's office has spent a semester discussing and formulatig the rules. Approval has been received form Dean Brecht of the School of Pharmacy, Miss Beat of the Dental Hjgienc Dean of the General College, for School, Miss Dalrymple of the Nursing School and Dr. Johason, the enforcement of closed study. Yet after all these considerations, the freshmen rules have become a campus issue w-ith the near exclu sion of the current presidential campaign. "In answer to Sonny Evans com ment that 'rules should not be made unless there is a situation existing which realistically de- mands restriction,' I feel that It is always easier to work from the wisdom of hindsight; yet for seeing a problem requires greater insight. "Women's Residence Council trusts it has sufficient insight to anticipate problems that will arise and can forestall such problems through formulating a set of rules. "However in the view of the recent opinions expressed, the Council plans to take these opin ions into consideration, and re evaluate our reason and decisions." New Program To Begin At Planetarium A new program titled "Things That, Fall from the Sky" will begin at the Morehead Planetarium on the campus of the University of North Carolina here tonight at 8:30. It will run through May 12. Explaining the nature of the de monstration, Manager A. F. Jen zano said comets, meteors and cosmic radiations create widesp read interest and attention periodi cally. "To know in advance the contributing and inherent charac teristics of these phenomena en ables one to accept their frequent appearance with intelligent under standing and positive identifica tion," Jenzano said. The school version, which will be presented Wednesdays through Fridays at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. is re commended for children in grades 4 through 12.
