THE • DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA
t will go to the Women's Stu
f the WSGA Senate approves
the recommendation, it need not
go to the Senate committee on
student affairs as stated previous
ly in the Daily Collegian.
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.

Since the new chaperon dating

sition. The hour change if passed
would also go into effect in Sep

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.
