Carolina women who are married but live in residence halls and any women over 21 and self supporting will have no curfew restrictions according to the proposal. This measure if approved by the Dean of Women, Miss Elizabeth Clotworthy and the Board of Women visitors, will become ef fective spring semester. Freshmen also get some relief' according to one proposal which would allow all second semester freshmen coeds to stay out until 1 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and also giving them a 12 a.m. curfew the rest of the week. This would be effective regardless of the coed's GPR. Three motions which AWS hopes will go into effect this semester include abolishment of bed keeping for room inspection; moving the sign out time for women from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. another proposal aimed at relieving freshmen coeds from their restricted timetable. This would allow them a 30 minute period after 10 p.m., which would not count as a late night. According to Miss Harley this would allow the coed to do something which she had forgotten or to just run out to get a snack somewhere. In moving the sign out time up to 10 p.m., the AWS president added .:..........

It will take effect spring semester. According to President Thomas F. Jones, almost no regular University courses will meet on Saturday next semester. However, some labs and special classes may be held for unusual considerations and because of limited laboratory facilities. While the students' week will get shorter, however, their day will get longer. "As a natural consequence, we had to go a longer day in order to fit our program into our facilities," Jones commented. He said he expects "no more late classes than necessary." In the schedule approved Wednesday, classes will begin at 8 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and run till 5:30, while Tuesday and Thursday sessions (all 75 minutes long) will run from 8 a.m. till 7:45 p.m. Class periods on Monday, Wednesday and Friday will be 8 8:50, 9:05-9:55, 10:10-11, 11:15 12:05, 12:20-1:10, 1:25-2:15, 2:30 3:20, 3:35-4:25, and 4:40-5:30. On Tuesday and Thursday classes will meet 8-9:15, 9:30-10:45, 11-12:15, 12:30-1:45, 2-3:15, 3:30 4:45, 5-6:15, and 6:30-7:45. The new schedule was recom mended by the Faculty Advisory Committee, which was authorized last spring to report on scheduling. The committee agreed on three principles--a five-day week, 50 minute classes and a 15-minute class break---and devised the new schedule accordingly. "When the committee agreed to study the 15-minute class break last spring," Jones said, "it seemed natural to open up the question of the five-day week at the same time because the decision on it was part of any scheduling decision.

The faculty approved Wed nesday a new schedule, calling for a five-day week, 50-minute classes A RA-Slater sit-in staged HARRY HOPE Staff Writer Twenty angry students entered the Slater offices Wednesday and demanded lower food prices and more pay for Slater employes. The group, led by Gonzalo Leon, talked with Bill Wentz, manager of ARA Slater on campus. They presented their greivances and Wentz answered questions con cerning service and quality. One of the members of the group answered the phone as it rang. He told the caller to call back, because "we are having a sit-in here." Wentz explained that Slater was doing its best to improve services, but added that it was difficult because Slater services are spread out to the various dorms, as well as Russell House. "Students can be represented anytime they wish, either formally or informally with management," he stated. Wentz then invited the students to a free dinner at Russell House cafeteria. "I consider this to be an op portunity to get some real com ments," he said as the group complained at every mouthful. ed dlenied A bill to eliminate athletic coupon books was also submitted by the Distribution and Regristration Committee and passed by the Senate. The bill calls for students to pick up tickets by using their validated fee cards and picture I.D. cards. The fee card will be punched upon receipt of a ticket.
