The present women’s rules have never been submitted to the sub committee, she reported. Senate Regulation W-6 states that the “President of the Univer sity may dismiss at any time any student whose influence is found too injurious to the standard of morals of the student body, or whose conduct is prejudicial to the good name of the University.” The Dean of Men's office has interpreted this to mean that no male student may entertain a woman guest in his apartment. The new women's rules passed in February states that a wom an may visit a man's apartment by special permission of a resi dence hall staff member and with parental approval. WSGA Senate voted last night to recommend that University Senate clarify its interpretation of its regulation. The subcommittee will review the whole system of women’s rules at its next meeting, Miss McPher son said. In other business, WSGA Sen ate voted to give freshmen upper class women’s hours after cus toms next fall due to the new in tegration of freshmen with up perclass women. Freshman hours during customs will be determined by the Freshman Customs Board. Quesiionnaires will b§ distri buted next week to determine coed views on signing out, Sen also decided. The question naires will give women a chance to indicate their preference for a sign-out system as is now in operation; for signing out only after 10 p.m.; for signing out for specials, weekends and by vol untary action; or for some oth er system.

Alpha Xi Delta and Chi Phi FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE. PA.. THURSDAY MORNING. APRIL 28. 1960 Saving Holiday Rests On Students, Bernreuter Says Unless students can propose a feasible solution to the problem of irregular class meetings during the fall semester, the Thanksgiving vacation will probably be eliminated, Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter, special assistant to the president for student affairs, said yes terday afternoon. Tonight SGA Assemblymen will report on a student opinion poll which they have been conducting and the Assem bly will decide which of four pro posals it will recommend to the University Senate next Thursday. Bernreuter indicated that the recommendation from SGA will only be successful if it coincides with the Senate’s opinion which is to eliminate the vacation be cause the other proposals involve too many problems. ‘‘lf students present an emo tional attitude, it won’t carry much weight. However, if they can suggest a new solution which would not add additional prob lems, their suggestion may change the Senate’s opinion,” Bernreu ter said. The Senate has already con sidered all the pros and cons of the situation. It feels that the elimination of Thanksgiving va cation would be the best solu tion and would not involve addi tional difficulties," he said. Bernreuter added lhat he felt SGA President Richard Haber has a difficult task facing him if he hopes to get the Senate to approve any of the other three proposals which were introduced to the Senate at their last meet ing, April 7. Haber represents SGA at Sen ate, ‘‘He will have to change the opinion of at least one-sixth of the Senators,” Bernreuter said. Haber said yesterday he is "very disappointed, to say the least, in the administration’s at titude." Haber attended a meet ing of the Senate committee on Student Affairs Tuesday and said lhat judging from the meet ing, the possibilities of the Sen ate passing a proposal other than the elimination of Thanks giving vacation are "very slim." The calendar change was first introduced to the Senate by Ben jamin Whisler, chairman of the Senate committee on class and calendar schedule. Whisler said there had been many complaints on the irregularity of class meet ings during the fall semester. Of the four proposals, the Sen ate approved the elimination of the Thanksgiving vacation by a straw vote. However, many of the Senators did.not vote This week, SGA Assemblymen have been seeking student opin ion on the issue and will report the results tonight Tomorrow Haber will talk to President Eric A. Walker con cerning the proposals and the proposal which the SGA approves tonight. WSGA to Support Cut in Xmas Holiday The Women’s Student Government Association last night suggested a proposal to revise the calendar for next fall by eliminating 2Va days from the Christmas vacation. Part of the dropped period would fall at the beginning of vacation and part at the end. This fifth proposal will be added to the list of four stand ing proposals which are as fol- lows: I •To start the fall semester the days later than usual and make up the time by removing the four free days after examinations and beginning the spring semester right away. •To strt the fall semester the Wednesday preceding the usual time, include the fall semester break, and lengthen the spring semester a day or two. •To consider the last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as Thursday, Friday and Saturday and eliminate the one free day be fore examinations begin. •To eliminate the Thanksgiv ing vacation altogether except for the one day holiday itself. In reviewing these four pro posals, WSGA found that none of them were exactly suitable to their demands. Thus ideas were formed to fulfill their de sires for what they considered the ideal solution. Katherine Hughes, senior sena tor on WSGA, stated last night that in an unofficial discussion with a member of the housing staff, an adversity was expressed against the elimination of the Thanksgiving vacation, included in the fourth proposal, for the Department of Housing needs this time in which' to attend to mat ters not possible when the dor mitories are occupied.
