SIXTEEN MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. November 29. 1956 ! Marquette Students Object To No-Kissing Rule Imposed on Coeds Milwaukee, Wis. U.Ri Male students at Marquette university jos up in indignation today over a "no goodnight kiss" rule im posed on coeds by school officials. "What do they want us to do, become a bunch of angels?" one boy demanded after reading about the rule in the student news paper, the Marquette Tribune. Ttie paper, in its lead story Wednesday, said Mrs. Mabel Mc Elligottt university dean of women, had ordered a crackdown on girls '"who kiss goodnight in front of dormitories" for women. The rule prohibits a "public display of affection" outside any of the school's 10 women's residence halls. Mrs. MeElligott told the student newspaper the crackdown was periodic reminder of the rule that coeds caught kissing would be "campused" restricted to the campus for one week end. In general, male students were disgusted. One asked "What's the difference in front of the dorm or down on the corner?" But one sided with school officials. "The girls have been get ting out of hand lately," he said.

Court of Appeals -exchanged words Wednesday in angry disagree ment over Caryl Chessman's at tempts to escape the death pen alty. Chessman, 35, was convicted In Los. Angeles nine years ago 4t kidnap, rape, sex perversion ind other crimes. He subsequent ly won acclaim for his prison written books. National Scandal In a memorandum supporting the court's '2-1 denial of Chess man's litest appeal. Justice D. L. Lernmon asserted the delay ! the Chessman case has be coitsp a "national scandal." "Chessman' has been accorded all due process except the long overdue process of his execu ioa," Lernmon said. Lernmon also took occasion to rebuke Chief Judge William Denman, who was the dissenting judge in the "court's denial of the Chessman appeal. However, the 84-year-old jus tice defended his position, declaring: "No better illustration could he had of the aphorism that 'haact cases make hard laws' than Judge Lemmon's opinion in ; denying Chessman's petition for j reheating, in this case." j Dsnjal Charged Denman held that Chessman was denied due process of law in that he was not allowed to be , present when the transcript of j his original trial was completed, j , The court- reporter had died arid Chessman claims the report er who made up the transcript ( was a drunkard. Hence, he con- i tends, the trial transcript is faulty. ! spokesmen for both sides were "very optimistic" that a contract agreement would be reached without a strike.
