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

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. They pledged, how
ever, to push ahead with' the ne
gotiations "to cast aside the hor
rible threat of H-bomb warfare."
The Western powers charged
that Soviet Deputy Foreign Min.:
ister. Andrei A. Gromyko leaked
to the Soviet news agency a plan
presented by him to the confer

misrepresentation" of the West
ern position.
The British Foreign Office in a

a "gross violation" of secrecy
rules agreed upon at the start of
the conference a month ago. The
