Penn State coeds are governed
on an adult level. Unlike women
who study at smaller colleges or
institutions which aren't co-edu
cational, local coeds are given len
ient late permissions and, for the
most part, are free to choose their
own ways of living.
Because of their trust in coeds'
abilities to rule themselves, ad
ministrative merribers are fre
quently criticized.
"Do you mean to say that wo
men students are allowed out un
til 11 p. m. during the week? How
can they study or get the proper
amount of sleep if they dance un
til 2 and 3 a. In. in the morning?"
We've all heard such comments.
No verbal retorts will silence
these critics. Once again, actions
speak louder than words.
Opponents of the existing regu
lations have capitalized on the de
luge of below grades and the
slump in physical fitness to fur
ther their criticisms.

Because of the validity and
fairness of these accusations, co
eds must provide answers—not
next semester but immediately.
If women are sufficiently ma
ture to make and enforce their
own rules, certainly they possess
enough common sense to know
that sleep is essential for physical
and mental alertness. They
should know, too, that late per
missions are to be used judicious
ly and not at the expense of stu
dies.
Recognizing these facts, will
women students aim to decrease
below grades and increase physi
cal fitness?
We hope so—not from an
idealistic or goody-goody point of
view, but from a practical desire
for the continuation of lenient re
gulations.
