For it was on that fateful day that the passage of Junior Wom- en's Apartment Privileges was an- nounced. The passage of this measure has opened up an entire new sphere in the concept of women's housing responsibility and independence. Up until this time, only women twenty one or older or those that were seniors were allowed to live in apart- ments. This put what sometimes seemed to be an unbearable bur-; den on the girls who were forced to spend their third torturesome year within the confines of the dormitory walls. As many upper- class women comment, "Freshman year is great no matter how bad the food or living conditions may be. Just the excitement of being at college seems to overshadow everything else. However, as the glamor of being away from home subsides, the pressure and desire to escape the dorm system in- creases." This has especially been true within the past few years as the dorm system has remained static in expansion while the stu- dent enrollment has rapidly and steadily increased. Because of this pressing room shortage, and the strong student support for apart- ment privileges the possibility of changing the past ruling was con- templated and a final course of action was decided upon. The final implementation of these apartment privileges, how- ever, were to be contingent on various factors. These included the completion of several forms which serve as protection for not only the individual's interests, but those of the independent realtor as well. First, and of primary im- portance is the Parental Permis- sion Form which must be signed by the parents of any junior wishing to leave the dormitory system. Since most junior women are un- der twenty one their parents are still responsible for their activi- ties and well being, therefore the Parental Permission Form serves as a safeguard to ensure that par- ents are aware and understand the implications and responsibil- ity apartment living presents. The second form is a cancellation of- ficially notifying the University of an individuals withdrawal from the residence hall system. Lastly there is the University Rental Agreement. In all cases this form serves as a means of cooperation between the individual realtors and the University through the offices of Student Activities and Off Campus Housing. According to the agreement, the University acts as a mediator in case of any conflicts which might arise be- tween the two parties. In case of nonpayment of rent, the Univer- sity often assures that back pay- ments are met by the withholding of grades. Because of this type of agreement many realtors do not feel the necessity for parents co- signing leases even the the in- dividual girls are under age. Another of the stipulations re- sulting from the approval of these privileges was that women under twenty one must live in housing approved by the University. How- ever, the apartment rights were also restricted to only those build- ings which were already com- pleted in order to ensure that the individuals didn't get stranded in case the proposed dwelling wasn't completed on time. lh _--- - ~i APARTMENT S GALORE NEW AND OLD BUILDINGS FALL RENTALS Apartments offer many outlets for creative talents, such as cooking.

In or- der to obtain a comprehensive picture of the effects it has had, the other modes of living available to junior women must be examin- ed-namely the dormitory and sorority systems. Until the new ruling, these were the only two possibilities open to junior women. If they wished to get out of the dormitory system before they were a senior, the only way they could do so was by joining a sorority. Besides being an escape from the dorm, the sorority house presented many ap- pealing advantages. Primarily it represented a smaller, more close- ly knit living unit where an in- dividual could feel more at home than amongst the seeming multi- tude housed in the dorm.
