A. at Meeting Wednesday RULE SETS DEADLINE AS 10 O’CLOCK ON WEEKENDS Senior Co-cds Permitted Extra Half Hour—Organizations Pledge Enforcement Following the petition of the Fia tci nity Presidents' committee and W S G.A., the Senate Committee on Student- Welfare approved Wednes day the recommendations under dis cussion concerning the presence of unchaperoned women in fraternity houses. Originally presented by the Frater nity Presidents” committee, the new ruling permits unchaperoned women to visit fraternity houses until 10 o’- clock on Friday, Saturday, and Sun day nights, provided that a minimum of three couples is present. Senior women arc allowed to be in a house until 10 30 Sustained by the W.S GA. Senate, the petition was pre sented to the Student Welfare com mittee for its approval Wednesday. The committee believes that this action will coriect unsatisfactory con ditions, since the student organiza tions have pledged themselves to en force the regulations. Any fraterni ty which fails to uphold the terms of the agreement shall forfeit the granted privileges, and shall not be allowed to entertain unchaperoned women as guests in its house. Dean Explains Action When questioned concerning the ac tion of the committee, Dean of Men Arthur R. Warnock explained, “We huve approved the recommendation with the understanding that unchap eroned women shall be in fraternity houses during the scheduled hours only.
