Coed Cc orner What about AWS rules? By ANNKIXF, DAVENPORT A«ftl«tant Womcn’H Editor Major governing bodies of the Associated Women Stu dents are now reviewing women’s rules for 1960-61. Regulations in the 1959-60 AWS rules brochure have been discussed by AWS Legislature, AWS Hoard of Reference and a combination of Heads of Houses and dormitory coun - (dors, THE ONLY ITEM that caused major concern in the group meetings was the scholarship program. Opinions ex pressed in each of the meetings varied from favoring com pulsory study table for freshmen and women below a 2.0 accumulative grade point average to favoring no study table at all and "let those scholastically weak women flunk out of school if they cannot govern themselves academically.” The scholarship standards for women adopted by AWS now consist of three major points: (1 ) quiet hours for study, <2) study table and (A > phone calls during study hours. THERE IS LITTLE or no contention concerning quiet hours from 7 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday in all wo men’s living organizations. The current rides brochure states that only long distance phone call-, may be placed or received during study hours. However, most women’s living organizations have applied this rule only to freshmen or women below a 2.0 GPA. A suggestion to revise this rule so that it applies only to fresh men and those below a 2.0 <»l\\ was approved by all groups reviewing the rules. THE RULE concerning study table reads: "Evening study rules apply to fall term freshmen and freshmen having lc*s than a 2.0 cumulative GI’A or less than a 2.0 for the previous term. ' 1. These students are expected to study from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday in either their dormitories or at the library. "2. ()ne of these nights per week may be used to attend a University sponsored-event. In special cases involving edu cational events, additional permission may be granted by the house mother. ".V When there are Wednesday’ night desserts, study rules begin at 7 :30 p.m.” WOMEN DISCUSSING the rules agreed that the above studv table regulations were somewhat conservative. The controversy arose when some of the house presidents and counselors indicated that the study table provisions should be stricter. Their argument for tightening the rule was that Universi ty freshmen and upperclass women near the 2.0 borderline either don’t know how to discipline themselves for study ing or that they know how to study but don’t have enough will power to study for three consecutive hours. Therefore, argued pro study table people, AWS should at least set the academic climate for studying by having a compulsory study table. ON THE OTHER HAND, those opposed to study table argued that frosh women’s dormitories are not equipped to accommodate all their residents in the dining rooms from 7 10 p.m. four nights a week. Study table promotors came back with the problem of girls—especially in the freshman dorms—grouping in rooms and “doing everything from washing nylons to discussing the latest boy friend” when they are left on their own to study in their own rooms from 7-10 p.m. during the w eek. 'Ehis group also pointed out that since the freshmen and those below a 2.0 accum are ‘‘expected to study . . . either in their dormitories or at the library” they will go to the librarv much of the time. No one knows if they study or even make it to the library. STUDYING AT THE LIBRARY brought up another point in favor of those contending for study hours minus the study table: Students should be allowed to use library facili ties at any time. With a study table program however, nights spent at the library would have to be regulated to probably two evenings out of the four spent on study table. And so it goes. Each spring w hen the women’s rules are (Continued on page 8) COLOR PRINTS 24c All Kodacolor Prints—Size 3X Reduced From 32c OREGON PHOTO LAB 11231 Alder Dl 3-7541 Bets/ Woods tells plans for tonight's Canoe Fete By BARBARA CHANTRY Assistant Women’s Editor Blond, blue-eyed, Betsy Woods has been seen many times this week in the vicinity of the Mill rue e.
