House Leaders to Check Lights Out’ In explaining the enforcement of the 12 “lights out’’ rule on week days, Dean Hazel P. Schwering said Wednesday that most of it depends upon the housemothers, house presidents, and proctors of the individual houses, who will see that this rule is kept. Exceptions will be made when a student is working on a thesis or other im portant theme, or for a student who works during the day. Per mission for this will be granted at the discretion of the house of ficers. The hours will be extended during exam week. "The purpose of this ruling,” stated Mrs. Schwering, "is to watch out for the health of the students. It is not intelligent for them to ruin their own health, and late hours will certainly do this. We are putting it up to the leader ship of the house officers, and we assume that all the students will cooperate.” A poll of house opinion on the new regulation brought forth al most unanimous disapproval. Ac cording to representatives of the carious houses it is felt by the girls that the 12 "lights out” does not give sufficient time for study ing in most cases. As expressed by one house president, the girls consider themselves the proper judge on when they should be in bed. Another h o u s e president laughingly called the restriction an 'affront to our rights.” Ode to a D. of W. We couldn't sleep a wink last night, Cause our room light burned past 12. Our conscience—giant shapes it grew, For we knew, dear dean, you were worrying too. —C. S. P. picked up the air corps and i!* band at the library. A big program has been planned for entertain ment, but the secrets of it will not be divulged until later in the week. An innovation to Junior Week end celebrations is the addition of a sign contest in which all housew are to participate. The signs, sa^iT" Blanche Svoboda, chairman of th
