This year's report dealt with the activities carried on by the council, the philosophy upon which these activities were based, and the personal feelings of the Chairman about the direction of women's regulations in the future. Miss Rose noted that the year 1967-68 had been one of constant re-evaluation by the - council of the role of the coed on our campus. The philosophy that "coeds at Carolina are mature and responsible women who would benefit from more flexible rules, allowing them a greater degree of individual freedom and personal decision making" guided the work of the WRC for the past year.
