Frosh Dating Rule
To Be Enforced
Freshman Council announced last night that, the dating rule for
freshman women which was recently passed by the WSGA Senate,
will go into effect in the fall.
Under this rule, freshman women will be allowed to date on
weeknights during the first semester, but, for the first four weeks,
will have to sign in at their dorm
itories by 8:30 pin.
Last fall frezhmari women did
not have to sign in until 9:15 1
but were .not allowed to
date 'during the first semester.. .
The main purpose 0: the neskr'
rule„ Council said, is to help
f-eshmen make the necessary ad-
jt:stment to college' life and to
forth regular study habits early
in the semester. It is hoped that'
in this way freshman scholastic
standings will be improved. Also,
it was felt that this year's dating
rule was not effective.
Line-hopping Rule to Continue
Ann Nitrauer, chairman of the
.COuncil, also annuonced that .the
line hopping regulation will be in
force next year in Thompson Hall.
Under this rule boxes are placed
in the housemothers' offices where
the names of line hoppers can be
turned in. Black marks -are given
for line, hopping. The rule was
not fen to be necessary in Mc-
Allister Hall where dinner is
served family style.
Council' also discussed the pos
sibility of changing its meeting
place to either Willard Hall or the
Hetzel Union Building. Ne x t
year's council . will decide th e
meeting place. •
This was the final meeting of
Freshman Council for the semes
ter.
