THE DAILY TAR HEEL
September 17, 1968
Still Sadly Archaic
Later Closing Hours For Women Highlight Newly Adopted Rules
visits.
Concerning late permissions,
the rules state, "Special late
permission may be granted
only for unusual
circumstances. It must be
requested through the Dean of
Women's office at least 24
hours in advance."
Previously, late permissions
were divided into three
categories: sign-out permission,
senior permission, and
campus-wide permission
Regarding residences for
women students, the rules
state, "A women student who
is 21 years of age or who is a
senior by academic standards
may reside in off-campus
housing in the Chapel Hill area.
Any senior woman who is
under 21 years of age must
receive parental permission to
reside in off-campus housing.'
Dean of Women Catherine
Carmichael declined to
comment on the rules changes
until they have actually gone
into effect.
Later closing hours,
involving both freshmen and
upperclassmen students,
headline a list of changes in
women's rules.
Upperclassmen and second
semester freshmen will have
1:00 a.k closing hours Sunday
through Thursday, and the
coed dorms will close at 2:00
a.m. Friday and Saturday. '
Previously, both weeknight
and weekend closing hours
were an hour earlier.
First semester freshmen will
also have later hours on week
nights 12 midnight Monday
through Thursday. Friday and
Saturday hours remain 1:00
a.m., and freshmen will also be
required to come in at 12
midnight on Sunday. :
Another big .change in
freshmen regulations is
abolition of closed study,
previously required of all first
semester coeds.
Freshmen will be required
to sign out if they intend to
stay out past 11:00 p.nx,
rather than 8:00 p.m. as in
previous years.
Dress regulations have been
completely deleted from the
1968-69 handbook, leaving the
decisions up to the individual
coed.
Concerning men's private
residences, the new handbook
only states, "Women are
reminded of the responsibility
of personal integrity that they
have accepted upon entrance
into the University."
"It is requested that when
making decisions in the
formation and upholding of
personal standards, women
take into consideration not
only their own beliefs, but also
the mores of society. n
Last year the handbook
explicitly stated women
students could not visit men in
bedrooms of private residences,
and reccmmended two couples
be present for coed apartment

Office of the Dean of Women

The new Assistant to the
'Dean of Women Lynn Lanham
had little time to get
accustomed to her new
position before she was
overwhelmingly involved in
sorority rush and orientation.
"It's really been an
interesting and learning
experience for me," said Miss
Lanham. "I had to learn a lot
in a short period of time, but
I'm really happy to be back in
Chapel Hill and at UNC as part
of the administration."
Miss Lanham is no stranger
to Chapel Hill. She earned her
Master's Degree here in 1965 in
guidance and counseling, and
served as a graduate counselor
in Whitehead Dorm in 1964
and 1965.
Miss Lanham, a native of
Lincoln, Nebraska, earned her
B.A. i degree from Hastings
College, Nebraska, where she
majored in English and
Education. She taught in high
school for three years and
served as a house counselor on
the Duke University of
Women's staff from
1963-1965.
Miss Lanham said she was
brought back to North
Carolina by "personal
circumstances." She plans to
marry a Duke law student in
December.
As Assistant to Dean of
-Women, Miss Lanham takes
over the duties of Mrs. Dershie
McDevitt who resigned the
post in August. She will work

"I think sorority rush was
successful this year. The idea
of rushing before the beginning
of classes made . rush more
relaxing for both the sororities
and the rushees.
"UNC needs more sororities
and we will continue to try to
bring more to campus. The
main problems are the
availability of housing space
and the expense of
colonizing."
Miss Lanham noted the
importance of the Residence
College system in order to give
"an equal chance to girls who
cannot pledge sororities.
"Sororities are not dying on
campus, but if the sororities
cannot expand in number and
size sufficiently to provide
places for girls who wish to
pledge, it is important for the
(with emblem)

residence college system to
assume an even greater role."
In regard to fall orientation,
Miss Lanham said she was
impressed with the extensive
work which went into planning
the Orientation programs and
that she was pleased with the
relatively few problems which
have occurred.
Miss Lanham cited the
example of the Big Sister-Little
Sister program as presenting a
problem mechanically in the
assignment of teams. She
suggested that perhaps, in the
future the program would be
carried on by the individual
dorms rather than the
orientation committee.
In regard to women's
closing hours, the major
concern of the coed, Miss
Lanham said, "It is a matter we
must move slowly into without
haste. Students should not
apply pressure to
that the problem
solved intelligently.'

Miss Lanham added that she
thought UNC should learn
from the experiences of other
schools which have deleted or
altered closing hours and to
study the merits and problems
such action entails.
"I am looking forward
working with the Dean

of
Women, the organizations on
campus and the coeds this
year," Miss Lanham said in
closing. "I believe we will have
a fruitful year."
