According to Bielsky, the change was made because there is a decrease in the need for policy changes. "In the beginning our pur pose was in liberalizing some of the rules. A few years ago, women were only allowed a certc in number of nights out of the dorm. AWS and SGA has really come along way for this campus." Now that many of the restrictions on women stu dents have been lifted, Biel sky said, AWS will become involved in making resi dence halls a better place to live. "We want to develop an atmosphere where the girls can learn and enjoy things, and say this is my home. We want them to think of the dorm as a second home, not just a place to go between classes and be bored."

We want to make women aware that there does not have to be a double standard." Beilsky said that the switch from policy makers to programmers is not yet complete, but, she added, "there's just not that much more to do. We needed more, and I think we've found our way."
