effective in the spring.
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

asked
Opening faculty meetings to the!
press has been asked in a letter
from The Gamecock to President
Thomas F. Jones.
The letter, read by Jones to the
faculty Wednesday, asks that
reporters "be allowed to attend
and report fully all meetings of the
fac'Ulty. "
It was refered to the Faculty
Advisory Committee, which is
expected to report at the next
faculty meeting, Dec. 3.
Faculty meetings are now
closed. The letter requested they
be open "in the interest of free
press, open discussion of
University issues and the right of
students to know and to hear
faculty discussion of pertinent
issues."

and a continued 15-minute break
between classes.
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

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

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.

A bill to eliminate athletic
