PAGE FOUR We the WOMen ty. 'Marjorie Moudey "Rules, regulations and laws—why can't we have the same privi leges the men have? They aren't governed by millions of rules." That's the gripe of Connie Coed. Perhaps the answer is to be found in what happened in a recent dormitory meeting. Senate had about radios and lights being off marks could be given for dis turbances late at night. This statement was issued be cause of a complaint through the House of Representatives thlat some of the hostesses were forc ing coeds to turn off their radios at 11 o'clock. Limited Rights In th e particular dormitory meeting in question the subject was brought up and the hostess asked the girls to vote to have all radios off by 12 o'clock. Slightly more than half the girls voted in favor of the suggestion and thus limited their rights voluntarily. The girls voted for this restric_ tion themselves; so, they will have no reason to gripe about it in the future. In other instances the girls have nothing to say about the rules. They are merely told that they must obey rules voted upon by the girls who have graduated several years before them. Unlike Senate regulations. there is no way to amend these rules. They are handed down to each group along with any ad ditions made by the group itself. Confusing Laws Examples of these laws include such things as no showers after 11 o'clock or no typewriting after 10 o'clock. Each dormitory has its own set of regulations which often contradict each other. Certainly Connie Coed would have less opportunity to gripe and there would be better feeling all around if at the beginning of the semester each hostess pre sented the rules that she thought necessary to be voted upon rep arately with a two-thirds vote required for approval. After all—this is a democracy! Even if we do have to live under laws all our lives, in a true de mocracy the people have a right to make the laws that govern them. a_edita Phi Kappa Psi Nine men were initiated into Phi Kappa Psi in a formal cere mony Sunday morning.
