KEEP DORM CURFEWS:
Few Women Set New Hours
Despite SGC Grant
By KATHY MORGAN
Few, freshman women are stay-
ing out until the early hours of
the morning even though a month
has elapsed since Student Govern-
ment Council supported their right
ito make their own hours.
In three of the 20 houses where
freshman women currently live,
hours have been entirely elimin-
ated. In four others, house judici-
ary councils have refused to punish
women who come in after the cur-
few.
However, both housemothers and
freshmen report that few women
are staying out after hours.
Waiting for Cutler
The remaining houses report'
they are waiting for Vice-Presi-
dent for Student Affairs Richard
Cutler to reach a decision on the
recommendation of the Governing
Board of the Residence Halls be-
fore taking anly action. The board
asked Cutler to abolish hours for
Berkeley Stu
freshmen who have parental ap-
proval.
Cutler has yet to announce his
decision.
SGC, at its meeting on Oct. 12,
recognized the right of freshmen
women in individual housing units
to set their own hours.
Parental Permission
Joint Judiciary Council prompt-
ly announced that it would rec-
ognize the decision of any house
to end hours, after 51 per cent of
the freshmen living in that house
had voted. Parental permission
slips would be required.
At present the house situation
is uncertain:

will uphold the decision, according
to Arlene Gorelick, '70, judiciary
chairman who is holding the par-
ental permission slips.
However, only 20 of the 75

freshmen have obtained parental
permission. Blagdon's housemother
Mrs. Germaine Aldus reports. Two
or three girls usually stay out past
the curfew, Mrs. Aldus says, and
there have been no girls who have
"established a pattern of staying
out late."
*The four freshman residents
of Thronson House, South Quad-
rangle have signed a petition to
abolish hours, but only one girl has
obtained a parental permission
slip.
Hunt House freshmen who
have parental permission will not
be punished by the judiciary coun-
cil for late minutes, says Benay
Abrams, '70, judiciary chairman.
Hunt House Council has decided
to eliminate any penalty for stay-
ing out late, Miss Abrams explains.
Of the 31 freshmen in the house, 15
have obtained parental permission
and submitted the slips to the
Hunt housemother. Miss Abrams
reports that since the rule change
three girls have stayed out past
curfew.

SGC Starts Work
On Academics
Defers Motion To Create Conmiiilee
To Recommend Con-Caon Machinery
By URBAN LEHNER
After tabling a motion to establish a four-man committee
charged with recommending ground-rules for the establishment of
the upcoming constitutional convention, Student Government Coun-
cil last night took hesitant ,inconclusive initial steps into the area
of academic reform.
"We're not trying to stall on this or kill Con-Con by neglecting
to set-up the needed machinery," explained at-large member Judy
Greenberg, '68, "but we just need more time to do this right."
In Tuesday and Wednesday's elections, students approved the
referendum proposal to hold a constitutional convention to restruc-
ture SGC this academic year by a more than 2-1 margin.
President Bruce Kahn, '68, noted that "SGC has made no de-
cision with regard to academic reform. But it is clear," he continued,
"that there are a lot of creative +----

Students of the University of
Dalifornia at Berkeley will rally
this morning to discuss the future
of their "disruptive protest"
against the recent announcement
by Berkeley administrators of the
suspension of 11 students.

suspensions on the grounds that
the punishment is aimed at the
persons' political activity rather
than the possible illegality of their
protest.
The 11 students were part of an
illegal organized rally last week to
stop the draft.
Major Activistsj
Among the 11 persons are the .
campus director for the April 151
March on Washington, the founder
of Berkeley's Free University, and
a major SDS leader.
