Harvard Wants ChangeInRules
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — (UPI) — Harvard University men want women to visit their dormitory rooms and bedrooms 15 hours more each week, according to a report filed yesterday with the schools administration.
"If these deep emotional commitments and ties occasionally lead to sexual intercourse, surely even that is more healthy than the situation a generation ago when nice girls were dated under largely artificial circumstances and sexual needs were gratified at a brothel," the report by a committee of the Harvard Council of Undergraduate Affairs said.
The coed visits, known as parietals, brought Harvard national publicity last month when Dr. Graham B. Blaine, Jr., staff psychiatrist, said they led to sexual intercourse.
IN A STUDY titled "Sex Mores in Transition" Blaine charged that the university encouraged the trend toward premarital intercourse through liberal dormitory rules.
"The present hours are quite conservative," the report said. It is true that the privacy afforded by the rules does lead to some sexual activity, but this would take place elsewhere if students' rooms were not available.
The most important result of the parietal rules, it said, was "a chance to enjoy normal relationships, both casual and serious, with young women . . ."
The major change suggested by the committee was an extension of six hours for visiting on Fridays. Women would be permitted to visit rooms from 2 p.m. to midnight, instead of 4 to 8 p.m.

These four students are getting ready for their first flight. They will take to the air Thursday night in the opening performance of the Children's Theatre production in the University Theatre.
THE "FLYING" they will do takes the form of being hoisted into the air by a cable that runs over the stage on the ceiling. Before taking off the flyer backs to the side of the scenery where a stagehand hooks him up to a cable. At the precise moment a person on the other side of the stage jumps off of a ladder. These seemingly disconnected events make the characters fly.

The person who jumps off of the ladder is connected to the same cable as the flier. His body weight, approximately two times that of the flier, pulls the cable enough to raise the other person off of the stage.
Amid the chaos of last minute preparations for the opening night of "Beauty and the Beast" four KU students are preparing for a remarkable experience.
Paul Hough, Tooeka freshman, who plays the Beast said the technique of flight has been hard to master. Several times, he said, he has landed in the scenery instead of behind it because of the lack of precision in timing flights.
Patrick Prosser, Lawrence graduate student and one of the assistant directors of the play said techniques used in Children's Theatre are only slightly different than those used in a major production.
ENDS TONIGHT!
Shows at 7:00 & 9:00
JANE EVANS, Leawood sophomore, who plays a small dragon in the play also flies. She and the Wizard, Fred Bouchard, Providence, R.I. graduate student, do a double zooming act at one point in the play.
The technical difficulties of "Beauty and the Beast" have been the main problems because of the necessity of rigging flying harnesses. The harnesses had to be individually fitted to the flying cast members.
He said children are much more critical of actors than most people think. They are not easily fooled by the fake, obvious tricks of the theatre.
The play will open 4:30 p.m. Thursday in University Theatre, and will run through Dec. 14 at KU.
The other members of the cast, those who do not fly, are Sharon Scoville, Kansas City special student; Wynne Coff, Lawrence junior; Mimi Frink, Lawrence sophomore; and Michael Fisher, Wichita sophomore.
The production is under the direction of William Birner, assistant instructor of speech and drama.
HOUGH SAID the play was being given for children and, therefore, the production would forego subtle devices that produce satire. He said the play was "for the entertainment of the children," not to bring out a deeper meaning.
The two flying at the same time causes a problem since the Wizard is about six feet tall and with all his padding is quite heavy; while Miss Evans, approximately four and a half feet tall, is very light. Coordinating the correct balancing to make the two fly is a technical problem
that has taken some time to iron out. The story of "Beauty and the Beast" is a traditional fairytale in which the Prince, turned into a Beast is befriended by Beauty.
