Gauger Answers Criticisins On WSGA Mil Ball Action In answer to questions and criticism concerning WSGA action granting two . twelve o'clock permissions to freshmen this weekend and denying a two o'clock permission to upperclass women for the Military Ball, Shirley Gauger, president of WSGA, has issued several explanatory statements, "In the first place," Miss Gauger Separately on the two questions. The previously requested permission to be allowed to have its , dance until one o'clock• this Friday night. Such permission was de nied to them by the Student Wel fare Committee on the grounds that such a dance is riot a class or All-College affair. In future years the Freshman dance and the sophomore dance will be granted these permissions along with the Junior Prom, the Senior Ball and the IFC-Panhel Ball." Precedent Danger It permission were extended for the Mil Ball a dangerous prece dent might be set as there would be no guarantee that other dance committees, (as those sponsoring the Harvest Ball, would not also ask for late permissions." In addition, the Mil Ball is con sidered a closed dance, Request for a two o'clock permission did not come directly from the Mil Ball Committee, .Miss Gauger ex- Plained, and information came to her from the dean of women's of fice that Colonel Chastaine had re:. ported to Dr. Weston, dean of women, that he and his committee were not asking for late permis sion. Further reports came to Miss Gauger that the feeling of the Student Welfare Committee in granting a 12:30 privilege to the dance was in order to make a late. permission unnecessary. Separate anestion Thus in considering this ques tion separately and in light of the above facts, WSGA deemed it wiser to deny the late permission, Miss Gauger stated. The matter of freshmen was en tirely a different one, Miss Gauger added. The girls are new this year and although customs are in ef fect they are in effect without the presence of coinciding customs for freshman men as has usually been the case at. the College. They are thus wholly dependent on upperclass men for any dating privileges which they. may have. Pledge Dancos A large number off fraternity Pledge dances are scheduled to be held this weekend on •Saturday night, Miss Gauger said. Request for alleviating conditions was brought to ‘-lATSGA from their senator, Joan Lee, who stated that freshman girls thus had to choose which affair to attend.- The situa tion was further complicated by the' fact that many girls expected WSGA to give late permissions to upperelass women. In view of the latter, dates would have to be broken. -• Help 'Attitude WSGA action on this matter was then to help imptove the at titude of freshman women and to make them feel more a part of the College. They had a choice of attending one 'affair whereas upperclass women would 'in any case be able to. attend both Mil Combos to Give Jazz Concert Modern jazz, played in a var iety of styles, will be featured next Saturday afternogn in Sch wab Auditorium as a• matinee event in the busy Military Ball weekend. The jazz concert, pre sented by Froth magazine, will combine the talents of both local and out-of-town musicians. The State College boppers will compete with a heterogeneous combo made up of undergradu ates from Lehi g h; Lafayette, and Columbia Universities. No adinission will be charged at the concert, which will begin at 2:30 p.m. It has become traditional dur ing the past few semesters to present modern jazz to the stu dents and faculty of the College, in addition to the now-defunct Artist's Course in ''classical music, Dixieland jazz, under the tute lage of "Shoeless Lou" Levy, reached a fine level' of perform ance, while the newer idiom, bop, gradually evolved to its present state. The concert will be , followed on the next Tuesday by the "Froth mas" issue of the magazine. , r 7 T PPT-44,041. q444.Rtg.,mn. explained, "action was taken Military Ball Committee had EightWomen'sTeam Remain Undefeated As the second half play of women's, intramural basketball gets underway only eight of the 36 teams participating remain unbeaten, There are three more weeks of WRA basketball before the play-offs which begin Janu ary 16, This week teams begin to repeat their original schedules so that each group within a league plays each other team twig.

Christmas Drive One 'Fifth of Goal WSGA Reaches One-fifth of the goal for the WSGA Christmas Drive was reached yesterday, said Miss Ellamae Jackson, assistant dean of women. The total was $113.21. With•the drive continuing through Wednesday, $4OO more must be turned in in order to reach the $5OO mark set. Two reasons are contributing to the slow returns, said Ella Louise Williams, chairman of the House of Representatives. One is that of the 29 dormitory groups, only 12 have turned in their re sults so far. The other reason is that the committees collecting have not been able to contact the girls in their rooms. She urged that girls who have not yet given their share, try to see their dor mitory president by Wednesday night.

Betters were sent last year to members of the faculty announc ing the beginning of such a file and requesting their cooperation. Since the faculty sought more in formation on the project, Mortar Board is compiling two new let ters: one listing the duties of the chaperons; I and one stating the duties of courtesies owed to the chaperons. By this project Mor tar Board intends to act as an in termediary agent between the faculty and organizations looking for chaperones. The group is also starting its own alumnae file this year as in previous years there has been no definite file.
