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

this year’s Fete promises to be
one of the most impressive fetes
at Oregon. "The living organiza

time and effort which can easily
be seen by the results.”

of the Canoe Fete, is also very
active in campus affairs. She re
cently received one of the three
A.WS junior leadership awards,
and was also tapped for Mortar
Board.

ties do not consume all of Betsy’s
time for she has managed to
maintain a grade average above
a three point.
She is a junior, hails from
Woodland, California, and is af
filiated with the Sigma Kappa
sorority.

UNTOLD TALE
three upon a time there was a
garbage collector who had a dis
tinct aversion to showers. As a
result of this habit, he became
quite famous. In fact, he became
so famous that a noted author
write a novel about him. The
title of the book? “For Whom the
Smell Rolls," of course. Try a IHj
and a shower, they’re both re
freshing.
