AWS Board explains
definition of campus
Recent ruling on the definition
of a “campus” by the newly
formed AWS Board of Reference
was explained to the AWS Legis
lature Thursday by Board Chair
man Molly Burke.
THE BOARD recommended
that a "campus" be defined by
house mothers and counselors as:
“Confinement of a girl to her
living organiaztion from 7 p.m.
until the following morning. She
may not receive callers, or make
or receive telephone calls unless
they are long distance. Living
organizations may supplement
this ruling, but may not super
cede it.”
The chairman urged all living
organizations and dormitories to
comply with the definition be
cause students have complained
that a lack of a uniform cumpus
oftentimes results in unfair
punishment.
Miss Burke said the Board, in
a future meeting, would discuss
times for a campus, whether they
can be taken duiing the week or
limited to weekends.
THE REFERENCE BOARD
also recommended to Junior Pan
hellenic that pledge classes be
discouraged from planning slum
ber parties or large group gath
erings in Eugene homes.
In other business, AWS dis
cussed elections and set cam
paign rules for the forthcoming
election.
The constitutional amendment
that would merge AWS and
Heads of Houses, plus election of
a president, secretary, treasurer,
editor, and historian of AWS will
be put before all women on a
campus-wide vote during "Wom
en's Week" Feb. 22-26.
Also during Women’s week, the
YWCA and Women’s Recreation
Association will elect new offi
cers.
JANET LEWIS, chairman of
the AWS Scholarship Board, sum
marized results of a recent gTade
survey. According to her report,
women’s grades average about
the same as they did last year.
Last year 22 per cent of the
total freshmen women were be
low a 2.6 GPA for Fall term. Fall
term, this year. 27 per cent fell
below a 2.0 Last year 14.4 per
cent of all women were below a
2.0, as compared to 14.5 per cent
this year.
According to the survey there
was a .0003 variance in pledge
class grades this year and last
year.
PART OF THE TALK that
women’s grades were lower this
year than in the past was a re
sult of the extreme variance in
high and low grades,” said Miss
Lewis.
Mrs. Golda Wickham, Dean of
1 Women, backed Miss Lewis' com
ment by saying, “There were
more high grades and more low
grades than usual, but as a whole,
the women did very well.”
