Dormitory Rules
Mrs. Childs today made the
following statement for the ben
efit of all town girls: Town girls
cannot spend the night in the
women's dormitories without
written permission from Mrs.
Childs. This step was not meant
as inhospitality, but was taken
as a necessity. Facilities are
taxed as it is. Dormitory girls
are asked not to embarrass their
friends by asking them to spend
the night with them. All town
girls are urged to see Mrs.
Childs when considering a night
in Wade Hampton or Sims.
