The issue of later hours for women was settled, at least
temporarily, Monday afternoon when the House Presidents'
Council voted 10-- to keep the present hours.
5

ident's council, however, chose to
vote on the issue Monday afternoon.
,

The negative vote followed a report to the council by president
Harriet Hart, in which she reported that Dean of Women Sarah
B. Holmes had told her, "I can
see no reason for late permission
if hours were extended a half
hour."
A committee made up of five
house presidents and two counselors which had been studying
the question of extending the
hours, repcrtfd to the council their
reasons ioi favoring the present
The committee said it felt that
by extending the hours (1) the
would feel obligated to buy
2) the girls need their
food,
sleep, (3) fraternities would have
to change their hours, (4) the
present hcurs fit the community,
and (5) what will the girls do
during the extra half hour.
According to Terry Kuester.

house president's council commit

The committee did not meet
with the SGA committee because
of "lack of time." andm a '"need to
get at the answer," Miss Hart

said.'

Kuester said a survey had been
made in November of 100 collets
and universities to inquire what
their hours were. Sixty per cent
of those answering had later hours
than UK and every college
porting had late permission, Kues- ter said,
The proposal to lengtht.i wom-boens' hours was first advanced in
September as part of the Student's
Party platform. It later became
an SGA project, headed by Kues
ter.
Mrs. Holmes expressed the opinion that there ' was no sense in
merely looking Into "the question
ot a half-hoextension."
"Tlie problem needs to be stud

exhibits on the Navajo Indian and
the Baganda of East Africa were
loan exhibits from the American

Dr. Schwarz museum director,
said he hopes to obtain other loan
exhibits for use in the balcony
from time to time.
In addition to those displays
last night, the director has
three more planned for the future.
One of these would be an elaboration on the Adena Culture. The
other two concern people of a
more prehistoric period, the Temple Mound Builders and the Early
Hunters.
The Early Hunter exhibit will
be very important because these
people are the earliest known visitors to the Americas. They came
here hunting large animals, such
as the mastodons. This was about
8.000 years ago. There are some
indications that they reached
Kentucky on occasions. This display will be permanent when it
is completed.
