Secretary to the Senate Commit tee, Wilmer E. Kenworthy said yesterday that after WSGA Sen ate passes the recommendation it must go to the Dean of Women's office for final approval. Only spe cial hour changes must be ap proved by the Senate Committee. Discontent Expressed The question of a change in freshman women's hours arose when freshmen expressed discon tent with the present weekend hours through the Freshman Council. A committee was set up to .investigate this question. The committee consisted of two fresh men, two sophomores, a junior, and a senior. Weekend hours of other schools the size of the University were in vestigated, and it was found that 90 per cent of these schools had later weekend hours than Penn State freshman women. Issue Taken to Dorms This fact was presented to the council, and it was decided that the issue should be taken back to the living units. The coeds sug gested that an 11 o'clock be grant ed in place of the 10 o'clock over weekends. The Dean of Women's office proposed that women have an 11 o'clock and a 12 o'clock. This plan had been suggested in previous years and voted down. This proposal was also referred to the living units and was re jected. When asked why they needed an increase in hours, the Freshman Council replied that a 10 o'clock does not allow enough time to have a date without rush- , ing all night. Dean's Argument The Dean of Women's office and the Freshmen Regulations Board gave as their argument against the granting of the extra hour the fact that freshman women are not al lowed to attend fraternity houses. code will go into effect in Sep- Since the new chaperon dating tember, the Dean of Women's of fice and the Freshmen Regula tions Board withdrew their oppo sition.

PENNSYLVANIA a_eill, Dean Releases Men's Bermuda Shorts Rule Men students wearing Bermuda shorts will not be permitted to enter womer's dormitory lobbies and lounges, Dean of Womeh Pearl 0. Weston announced yesterday. The rule was announced to women students at dormitory unit house meetings Monday night and verified yesterday by Miss Weston. According to the new ruling, men entering dormitory lobbies dressed in Bermuda shorts will be asked to leave by dormitory hos tesses. Women Can't Either The main reason for enactment of the restriction concerning men, Miss Weston said, is the ruling prohibiting women students from wearing Bermuda shorts in dorm ifory lounges and lobbies. Miss Weston said that dormitories and the campus are not appropriate places for recreational attire such as shorts. Miss Weston said Bermuda shorts could not be considered ap propriate daytime garb for men students any mor e than could coattails and formal dress suits. Phone from Town When asked how men ‘ wearing Bermuda shorts will be able to contact their dates, Miss Weston said - men could telephone their dates from a place outside the dormitory. Miss Weston said she did not think the ruling would affect many men students because she had seen only "two or three" men wearing Berumuda shorts. Concerning women who take an 11 o'clock permission and do not return to the dormitory before the side doors are locked, Miss Wes ton said these women are able to carry coats or skirts and thus re enter the dormitory through the lobby with their Bermuda shorts covered. 6th Reading Festival To Open Tomorrow Three students will represent the University in the sixth Pena. sylvania Intercollegiate Reading Festival tomorrow and Friday la the new Mineral Science auditorium►.
