AWS Senate Rejects Plea For Extended Calling Hours
Setty Lu Gard, president of AWS, announced to freshman women at a meeting in North College last night the AWS decision not to grant the freshman women their petition to extend men's calling hours in Corbin and North College.
The petition which was first presented in the AWS House of Representatives seven weeks ago, asked for extension of men's calling hours to closing hours on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Betty Burke, college freshman, presented the petition and acted as spokesman for the freshman women at Tuesday night's AWS Senate meeting. Miss Burke stated, among other things, that an extension of calling hours was felt necessary in order to provide a home atmosphere in North College in which girls and their dates might discuss their class work and study together. Distance from the campus and the bigness of the dormitory were two more reasons given by Miss Burke to support the necessity of granting the petition.
The AWS Senate voted unanimously against the petition on Tuesday night and president Gard said, "We felt that because AWS is a governing body for the whole campus we could not legislate an exception for a group which did not comprise a need for the majority." Miss Gard continued to say that she felt that possibly the petition had made women students conscious of a need which could possibly result in campus-wide controversy and eventual action.
