Election Issue
To Be Decided
On Thursday
Women will not vote on re
leasing the Women's Student Gov
ernment Association's final elec
tion figures until Thursday, Nancy
White, WSGA president, an
nounced yesterday.
The vote, which was to be tak
en during the primary elections
today, is being delayed because
there has not been sufficient time
to prepare the mimeographed'
statement on the issue, Miss White
said.
According to the motion passed
unanimously by Senate at a spec
ial meeting Friday, if the vote
shows women wish the final elec
tion figures released, WSGA will
release them after the final' elec
tions Thursday. The primary elec
tion figures will not be released.
At the special meeting Mary E.
Brewer, assistant to the Dean of
Women, said Senate was not le
gally able to release the figures
in view of a vote taken in 1951.• •
When a proposal to release the
figures was being considered in
November 1951, women voted at
house meetings that they did not
wish to 'have the results released.
Eighty-five per cent of the wom
en students voted. Two-thirds of
those voting opposed releasing
the figures.
Patricia Ellis, junior senator,
said at the meeting Friday that
the attitude expressed by the 1951
vote could have been a result of
the fact that WSGA opposed re
leasing the figures and presented
the proposal negatively.

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Krieger
of Hazelton announce the mar
riage of their daughter Arlene to
Lt. Lewis Levy, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Levy of Kingston

took place in Forest Hills, N.Y., on
Feb. " 21.
Mrs. Levy was graduated from
the University. She is a member
of Phi Sigma Sigma.
Lieutenant Levy, who is now
special service officer at Camp
Pickett, Va., was graduated from
the New Mexico Military Institute,
Boswell, N.M., and the Wharton
School of Finance and Commerce
of the University of Pennsylvania.

Council Investigates
Frosh Hour Change
The possibility of changing freshmen hours is being investigated
by Freshman Council. The group has conducted a survey of those
colleges and universities throughout the United States with an en
rollment of 5000 or over. Investigated were weekday hours, week
end hours, Sunday night hours, and big weekend hours
Approximately 60 schools were
contacted in this survey. Results
showed that 90 per cent of the
other schools had later hours than
freshman coeds on the Penn State
campus
The majority pf weekday hours
were 10:30 p.m. Over weekends,
most schools maintain 1 a.m. dead
lines Friday and Saturday for
freshman women.,qontrary to
Penn State's system of having
Sunday night's hours equal to
weekday - hours, other schools
grant freshmen and upperclass
women late Sunday night hours.
A 10 or an 11 o'clock was offered
to freshmen in most cases.
Big weekend hours varied, but
the in os t common permissions
were the same as upperclass
hours.
Frosh Vote
Freshman women were asked
to express their opinion on having
one 11 and one 12 o'clock over
weekends. The women voted
against this. What they voted for
is an 11 o'clock Friday and a
1 o'clock Saturday. This would be
a one hour gain over the present
10 p.m. and 1 a.m. permissions.
When faced with the question,
"What would freshmen do with
that extra hour?" Freshman Coun
cil said that a 10 o'clock does not
allow sufficient time to attend a
sports event or movie. Many cam
pus dances do not start until 8 or
9 p.m., which discourages fresh
men from attending.
Fraternity Date Rule
The major argument against a
change in hours was the fact that
an extra hour might mean that
freshman women would attend
fraternity house. This violates one
of the Senate Rules and Regula
tions for Undergraduates.
