Dean Taylor: 'Maybe no code needed'
Ey Beth Gaeddert Kansan Staff Reporter
There's a semantic battle teetering through women's residence halls and all the while the dean of women's office is watching closely.
The issue: what are "casual clothes," who wears them and when.
Women in Hashinger Hall and McCollum Hall say they want to wear "casual clothes" to dinner on weekdays. They add that they have enough "common sense" to individually know just how "casually" they should dress at that time.
Already the Hashinger residents have submitted a proposal to dean of women's office asking that they be allowed to wear pants and other such casual clothes to dinner.
But the dean of women's office first wants a definition of terms. They want to be sure that some girls don't dress so "casually" that they ruin the appetites of others.
And, since the proposed switch to pants doesn't meet the dean of women's "minimal dress code," that office must eventually rule on the Hashinger proposal and, if they submit one, the McCollum proposal.
Most women agree that good slacks, bermudas and pants suits are "casual clothes" but so are some teens-on some girls.
"We can't tell one girl her jeans aren't good enough to eat in and another hers are," one hall president said.
Naismith women have been getting along for the second year without any official code and Mil-
Ior Hall revised its constitution last spring to allow girls to wear "slacks to dinner."
Every women's living group except Lewis Hall and most sororities discussed changing their individual dress codes.
Those who decided not to make the change to "casual clothes" for dinner said it created a nicer atmosphere when girls were dressed in dresses, and that the general idea was that "you do better when you're dressed nicely."
Emily Taylor, dean of women said KU wants to keep up with changing times and that women's clothes definitely are becoming more informal, but she couldn't predict a decision on Hashinger's proposal until the reason and definitions of terms were discussed.
Freshman Senate to meet
Seventy-one freshman "senators" will debate and pass legislation on such issues as compulsory arbitration, the Arab-Israeli conflict and cigarette sales in the Kansas Union in the Freshman Model Senate.
The sixth annual senate, sponsored by the KU-Y, will be in two sessions. Saturday, Nov. 11 and 18, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Senate will be in the basement floor of Green Hall.
The Senate is planned and conducted completely by freshmen, said Charlene DeHaven, Hoisington freshman and co-chairman of the Senate Steering Committee. It is the only one of its kind offered on any American university campus, Miss DeHaven said.
Bill Ebert, Topeka freshman, is the other Steering Committee cochairman.
The Steering Committee consists of 10 freshmen who applied to the KU-Y for this appointment. These freshmen chairmaned committees
which met Oct. 28 and formulated the bills to be discussed in the Senate.
One such bill, on the Arab-Israeli conflict, reads: Section 1. Israel return all occupied Arab land she has gained. Section 2. Jerusalem will be an exception to this and instead will be a free city under the joint administration and government of both Israels and the Arabs. Section 3. These concessions will be granted by Israel in turn for formal recognition from the Arab states.
A president and a secretary-historian will be elected by the senators at the first session.
Only the chosen senators debate the issues, but all freshmen may attend.
Miss DeHaven said the Senate is "mainly an expression of opinion." "Although the Senate isn't as effective at taking action, it is still important and is the first step toward action," she said.
The Senate will use regular
legislative procedures of introducing, debating, amending and voting on each bill.

MATCH MAKER
Dear Applegate:
As manager of Shakey's Pizza Parlor, your last two letters were called to my attention.
We have absolutely no intention to ever discontinue our pizza product and serve fish 'n chips instead. Would you bloody-well get this through that Limey brain of yours! We couldn't care less what the British Pubkeepers Association thinks! We serve the best pizza in the world and that is how it will remain.
Would you kindly return the piano player's straw hat post hastel! As for your being ejected from the premises, you will recall that you were standing on the table reciting "Gunga Din" at the top of your voice. We don't mind people reciting, but we can't stand Kipling, hence your hurried departure.
Let this please be the end of this matter.
Sincerely,
Harvey Ledbetter
Manager
P. S. If you do not return the straw hat we will confiscate the gross of mother-of-pearl waistcoat buttons you left here.

Dean Taylor said KU has a residence hall dress code because of the functions of the University is to prepare people for professional lives.
"And this means more than acquiring knowledge," she said. But Derris Tucker said, "Good
but Dean Taylor said, "Considering we don't have a campus dress code, it's surprising the girls look as nice as they do. It shows they choose to look nice."
Then why is there a need for a residence hall code?
"Maybe there isn't," she said.
Antiwar militants will top draft rolls
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— Lt. Gen Lewis B. Hershey says his new "get tough" directive against antiwar demonstrators who disrupt military recruitment was issued after consultation with the White House.
The selective service chief recommended that local draft boards order induction or assist in the prosecution of what he said were draft law violators. His letter was dated Oct. 26, several days after pacifist demonstrators stormed the Pentagon.
However, he told a news conference Wednesday that "I want it to be perfectly clear that this is the sole responsibility of the director of selective service."
A few days after the Pentagon incident, about 100 students at Oberlin College in Ohio penned a Navy recruiter in his car for four hours before they were dispersed by police.
