Sophomore closing
Groups set late hours
Bu CAROL DeBONIS
This fall women's upperclass residence halls, scholarship halls and sororities began establishing policies allowing sophomores extended hours upon request.
The Associated Women Students' (AWS) constitution states that "individual extended hours may be requested from designated authorities in the living group or from the Dean of Women." Based on this the women's residences set up their individual "designated authorities" and policies.
ALL ARE BASED on the general principle that extended hours should be granted only for special occasions and purposes, but its implementation varies among the living groups.
Variations in time limit, designated authorities and difficulty in getting requests granted were noted in eight living groups questioned. Variations are generally based on the size of the living group and its lock-up procedure.
Hashinger, Alpha Omicron Pi, Douthart, Kappa Alpha Theta, Miller and McCollum have no time limit on extended hours. However, women must state the the time they plan to return and are held accountable for any deviations.
DELTA GAMMA and Lewis have set ce-hour extension limits, except in cases involving special circumstances.
Also, it is likely that long extensions will not be granted.
Housemothers, house presidents, advisory board members, standards council members, staff assistants and resident directors are among authorities designated to grant requests.
In six of the living groups, those requesting late hours must state a reason. In McCollum and Lewis, no questions are asked unless extensions over 1 and $1\frac{1}{2}$ hours respectively are requested.
IN MOST HOUSES, the difficulty in getting extended hours is
DALLAS—(UPI)—Jack Ruby is seriously ill with cancer and probably will be unable to stand trial again in February for slaying presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald in the opinion of a doctor who treated him.
Jack Ruby 'too sick' for retrial
A CANCEROUS LYMPH node was surgically removed Saturday and tests indicate the cancer has spread.
Ruby's conviction of the slaying was overturned by the Texas Court of Appeals in October and a new trial was tentatively scheduled for February at Wichita Falls, Tex.
"He is a very sick man," said Dr. Jay Sanford, professor of internal medicine at the Southwestern Medical School. "I do not expect he will be able to go to court."
On the possibility of postponing the trial, Dist. Judge O. T. Holland would wait until doctors had more information before making a decision.
Sanford said the lymph node removed from Ruby showed there was a malignancy elsewhere in the body. Tests were being conducted to determine the extent of the disease.
based on lock-up procedure. In Douthart, for example, once a request has been granted, the applicant must find an officer to stay up and let her in.
In Alpha Omicron Pi the extension is a personal arrangement between the sophomore and the executive officer on lock-up.
The applicant must convince the executive officer that her reason is sufficient for the officer to stay up and let her in.
years ago is sponsored by the speech and drama department. "The winners will receive a prize, which by tradition remains a surprise until presented," said Mrs. Sara Platz, assistant instructor of speech and drama.
In McCollum, a coeducational dormitory, a clerk is on duty all night, eliminating lock-up difficulty and making possible a more liberal policy.
