Trustees Approve —
Controversial Rule
Of Men in Rooms

The Boardof Directors has voted

} to approve the current rules on men

in the rooms, making them
provisional for another year. Next
fall they have called for written
reports from Self-Gov on the
general application of the rules
and they reserve the right to vote
on them again next spring.

As at the beginning of this year,
votes will be taken in each hall
as to whether and for what hours
the rules should go into effect.
The votes will again be by secret
ballot to insure full expression
of opinion.

The vote followed discussion
among Self-Gov and the Ad-
ministration on the application of
the rules this year and specifically
on the results of the questionnaires
circulated by Self-Gov to soundout
general attitudes regarding the
student’s responsibility, if any, to
the campus community.

The overwhelming majority of
those responding to the question-
naires (about 350 in all) Gd feel
that the individual student has a
responsibility toward the college
community, emphasizing the im-
portance of ‘‘mutual respect’? and
consideratidh for other members
of this community. As to the
specific role of Self-Gov, Sec-
retary Beth Chadwick said that a
general attitude was that Self-Gov
should function as a body not only
for publicizing rules, but also for
gathering and discussing campus
opinions on them,

Beth said that next year Self-
Gov would focus attention on
making the implications of rules
clear to the freshman, and would
generally make efforts to stress
student responsibilities and, she
said, ‘‘part of the responsibility
is keeping the issue alive.’’ They
will also stress that the proper
channel for airing complaints per -
taining to-such rules is through
Self-Gov, especially through the.
hall presidents.
