- During the tenure of office of this Board
the registration by those staying out later
than 10.30 became more and more .care-
less and-inaccurate. The old system pro-
vided no method by which the Hall Presi-
dent could automatically tell who the
culprits were. I do not think that most
of the members of the Association realize
quite how serious it is for the college not
to know where studnts are after 10.30,
Several times parents have telephoned at
this time only to find no record of their

daughters’ whereabouts. In an attempt
to remedy this situation ‘and to ‘give the
Hall Presidents some way of reminding
the careless by the rather powerful
method of fining the culprits—and thus.
we hope prevénting any further such un-
pleasant occurrences—the new system of
late registration was adopted. Under this
method, as you know, greater accuracy
results because-the record leaves not only
the hour a student planned to return, but
also the hour she actually arrived at her
hall. \/*

Last year for the first time the Board
vas allowed to give students special per-
mission to motor unchaperoned after dark
to and from some ‘definite place—such
as a tea house, or the movies—in the vil-
lage. Just lately this permission has been
extended to include the moving pictures
in Ardmore.

This year was the first with the en-
larged Board. The greater number of
opinions is a very important asset which
should not be given up. The Legislature
formed last year, because .of the impos-
sibility of getting a quorum, has not been
used at all this year. This is a good sign
because it means that the Association as
a whole has been interested enough to
come—-to--all-- meetings, providing super-
quorums.. It is to be hoped that this in-
terest will continue, but the machinery
for the Legislature might just as well
remain in case the interest lags. The

Last year during final examinations the
inability of students to* study in the
library was manifested by the general
exodus from the reading room and the
continual complaints about the situation.
The Board decided that ball throwing,
gum‘ popping and social afternoons could
no longer be indulged in in the reading

room, which should again become a place
for study. | After the great indulgence
allowed in the past the only way to better
the situation was by being very strict and
showing that we really meant business.
Those who disturbed people—even a
quiet whisper is very annoying to anyone
near you—were asked by the members of
the Executive and Addvisory Boards of ‘the
Association to be quict. Frequent of-
fenders were requested to leave the read-
ing room for a week. The task of the
two Boards was a rather unpleasant and
thankless one. But after a short time the
majority of the students seemed to realize
that the benefit- of the silence over-
balanced the slight inconvenience of not
being allowed to carry on lengthy~con-
versations and the library became a place{
where quiet study might be indulged in.
During the process only two people were
expelled for the week. Threats of such
expulsion were often effective with in-
veterate talkers. «1 had no idea that the
privilege of studying in the reading room
meant enough to silence quite a few
members known to be far from studious!

If the situation in the library cried for
a remedy so did the smoking question.
It was considered. by the preceding
Board, but dropped until the Students’
Building drive was over, in fear of en-
dangering that. ‘Last fall, however, after
a summer with no smoking restraints,
many a student was loath to forego her
cigarette. The Board was continually
informed that the students were smok-
ing in their rooms, but so unpopular was
the rule that no one reported infractions.
The Board felt ‘that the rule as it stood
was unreasonably strict, and so was un-

passed around showed that the college
was overwhelmingl¥ in favor of a change
in the rule. In their conservatism, the
answers also showed, on the whole, that
the students were cognizant of the diffi-

culties involved and realized the necessity
“a

for restraint. An attempt was made to

join four of the other prominent Eastern
colleges in our action. But the several
conferences “Were of no’ avail, so the
Board evolved .what seemed to it the
most plausible rule. This was passed by
the Association almost, if not quite,
unanim6usly. Miss Park, who had spared
ho time or trouble both at one of the
conferences and in discussing the measure
with me, was our spokesman to the
Board of Directors. The directors, feel-
ing that she*knew the situation far better
than they, gave her full power to do as
she liked with the new rule, which was
promptly put into effect. The Board
wishes to express its sincere gratitude to
her and to impress upon the Association
the too little realized fact that -without
her active support,—aid and willingness
to bear the criticism of the country in
taking what was considered. by.. many
such a radical stand little or nothing
could have been accomplished. The
Board also wishes to thank the Associa-
tion for its splendid reply to the plea for
moderation in discussing the measure,

nified clipping has been sent in from the

Finally, it is interesting to point out that
several of the colleges which refused to
co-operate with us last fall have this
spring, to a certain degree at least, fol-
lowed our lead. -
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCES JAY,

Chairman.
