Romm said of the 400 sopho mores, junior and senior wom en living in dormitories, only 22 had elected to live under closing hours. This year is the first year freshmen women have had the opportunity to live in a dorm without closing hours. Under the present housing policy, women may elect to live in ei ther type living unit. Same Hours All dorms close at the same hours they did last year, 12 p.m. on weekdays and 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Girls who requested no-closing hours use the “card key system,” which was initiated this year. Under the system a small cardboard card containing a concealed metal filings combi nation is inserted into a box which unlocks the door. Eleven women’s dormitories are designated as no-closing hour units this year, Romm said. Some of these are “mixed dorms” which mean that girls who requested closing hours and girls who did not are both liv ing in the units, according to Romm. He said the mixed dorms were established because of ad ministrative problems rising from students who applied late for dorm reservations. Different Cards According to Romm, each dor mitory unit has a different set of cards so that a girl with a Smith Hall card cannot use it to get into McAlister Hall. There is a $10 fine for any girl losing her card key, Romm said. “This is about average for colleges in the West, the fines range from $5-$25,” he said. Romm said card key systems have been installed in 20 dor mitories at a cost of approxi mately $100 a dorm plus 35 cents per card.

Under the present system, girls are not required to have parental permission to request no-closing hours, but Romm said the Housing Office assumed that it was a family decision as to whether a girl requested closing hours. The Housing Office was also Signs to Caution Campus Drivers Taking the action into their own hands, the ASUO Campus Planning Council plans to post four large signs on a campus danger spot, 13th and Agate at 2:30 p.m. today. Last year, there were twelve major accidents and countless minor ones at this in tersection. ASUO President Dick Jones, and Chairman of the Planning Council Bob Caufield, intend to post the signs. The signs list the number of accidents last year, and ask how long it will take the City Council to do some thing about it. The signs will be up “until something is done,” said ASUO Press Secretary Larry Chadwick. “We believe it’s time to do some thing to put the pressure on them,” said Chadwick. Chadwick said the intersection has been brought to the atten tion of the City Manager’s Office and been reviewed. “They refuse to believe we have a problem,” he said. experimenting with the card key system in Parson Hall, a men’s dormitory, Romm said. If this experiment is successful, card key systems may be in stalled in all men’s units in hopes of curbing furniture thefts. Romm said that $5,000 worth of furniture is stolen annually from the dorms and that $1, 000 worth has been taken dur ing the past week. He said that the money to re furnish the dorms comes from, the student dormitory fees and therefore raises dormitory fees. Mandatory closing hours were officially abolished for all stu dents Jan. 11, 1968 after four months of discussion and con troversy. Former University Presi dent Arthur S. Flemming ap proved a recommendation from the Student Conduct Committee and the University faculty which set up the two types of living units. The Student Conduct Commit tee became involved in the clos ing hour controversy because of Article I, Section A, part 6 of the Conduct Code which states, “Rules and sanctions af fecting the conduct of men and women shall be based on gen eral principles of equal treat ment, including like penalties for like violations.” Because women violators of closing hours could not be le gally sanctioned due to the “equal treatment” phrase in the section, the Conduct Committee voted to recommend voluntary closing hours instead of manda tory closing hours. ^Be the first man on campus^^ ^ to wear the only Koratron°-approved year-round permanent press suit.
