Deans' approval sought for coed apartment visits
Early this fall the Committee on Discipline realized that the university policy forbidding women students to visit unchaperoned apartments was completely ignored and unenforced. They suggested the rule be brought before the Social Affairs Committee for review. The Committee on Discipline carefully specified any review would cover only apartments, and have no effect on suggestions that girls be allowed on the second floor of the fraternity houses or men on the upper floors of women's dorms.
At a recent meeting, the Social Affairs Committee completed their review recommending that the ruling he removed from the handbook, and that more freedom be allowed in the fraternities and dorms. This idea was returned to the Committee on Disciplines for their review, via the chairman, Robert Cobb. The issue is now with Cobb, awaiting discussion with the Deans of Men and Women.
With their approval, and opinions and statistics from other schools, it will be presented to the Committee on Discipline in the near future. Other branches of the administration will also be consulted.
Cobb believes that only the apartment issue should be considered at this time. The issue, he pointed out, might well come before the Board of Trustees, and he believes that they would prefer to consider one topic at a time.
"We want to move ahead, be added," but not with both feet off the ground at once." He also stated that student support of the plans at the present time would not influence the Committee on Discipline.
The same suggestion was also made this fall by Pat Cochrane, president of AWS, and the idea met with the approval of Mary Zink, Dean of Women.
