Miss Sherry Mulllns
Secretary of Student Legislature
22S Mary Foust
The Campus
Bear MtsrMuUins;
The purpose of this letter is to inform you, and through you the
Legislature, of my thoughts and actions on the following four specific items
which are pending?
1. Legislation concerning freshman lights.
2. Legislation concerning social privileges for upperclassrnen.
3. Resolution concerning a faculty study of the grading system.
4. Resolution concerning the Negro students of Woman's College.
Legislation concerning freshman lights.
-After discussing this item with the Dean of Students, with a group
of Junior House Presidents, and with hoth the outgoing and incoming officers
of the Student Government Association, 1 hereby give my approval to this
legislation.   I want to make it clear, however, that my decision was, in
the final analysis, influenced by academic considerations.   This extension
of privilege seems to me to be a sensible solution to a long-standing
problem! that of providing sufficient study time for those students who
are .making their adjustment to the increased demands of college life and
of college-level work,   hi order that the present freshman class be enabled to enjoy these privileges, this legislation shall become effective upon
your return from Spring Holidays.
Legislation concerning social privileges of upperclassmen.
I regret to inform you that I cannot approve this piece of legislation.
After careful study and upon the recommendation of the Dean of Students, I
hereby vet© that action in its entirety.   The principle of "senior privileges"
based as it is upon age, maturity and adjustment, is to© well established
