Weak Link Action on modifying WSGA's drinking rule was begun last fall when WSGA Senate decided the present regulation which prohib its drinking by women students was not enforceable. Consequent ly,p Senate members felt, it formed a weak link in the chain of WSGA regulations. Not Polled Women students were not polled when discusion of a change arose because it was felt: 1. That opinions on Senate were representative of the opin ions of most women and 2. That any change should be accompanied by thorough explan ation and implementation which would inform all wQmen students at the same time before any change became effective. Hostesses Informed Dormitory hostesses and mem bers of the WSGA House of Rep resentatives, however, were in formed of the proposed change and projected student enforce ment. - After lengthy discussion in Senate meetings at which argu ments against the change were presented by two non-member women students, Senate members unanimously agreed the need for a change was indicated by the im possibility of equal and uniform enforcement of the present regu lation. Enforcement Plans First Senate passed a new ruling which it immediately declared would not go into •operation until plans for student enforcement and implementation would be formulated. The present• WSGA drinking rule states: "Drinking by women students is against the University regulations as well as the WSGA regulations, and violations are dealt with by the Judicial Com mittee as well as by the Univer sity administration." Parallels University Rule The new ruling was written along the same lines as the rul e ing in ,the University Senate Reg ulations for Undergraduate Stu dents. The University regulation stipulates that drinking is pro hibited on University property and that students must conform with the laws of the borough, commonwealth, and nation. Modification of WSGA's old rule will thus correlate WSGA rules with those of the Univer sity. The new regulation was brought before the Senate Committee on Student Affairs which made no decision pending study of plans , (Continued on page eight) West Accuses Gromyko of 'Leaks' LONDON, March 25 (W)—The Western powers accused the Sov iet Union tonight of gross viola tion of the secrecy rules of the five-power London conference on disarmament.
