2A - Wednesday, January 24, 2007 FRIDAY: Explained CANDY WOMAN CAN In loco parentis for half of campus Dean of women post not eliminated until 1961 With the admission of women in 1870, the University became a lead- ing progressive example for other major colleges. But 90 years later, the University's policies toward women had lost their progressive edge. It was then that female students cam- paigned the administration for per- mission to wear pants to dinner. Constant during this time period was the University's dean of women - a pseudo-parent for the female population until the position was eliminated in the early 1960s amid a growingcampus rebellion. In1896,ElizaMariaMosherbecame the University's first to hold the post. She was also a professor of hygiene, sanitation and household economics. In her lectures, Mosher frequently discussed parenting techniques like how to time an infant's bath. The dean of women had a hand in nearly all aspects of women's lives, including their social life, housing and academics. Curfews, dress codes and housing polices remained strict until resis- tance built in the 1950s. Guidebooks from the 50s given to women when they arrived on campus illustrated the suggested dress code with car- toon sketches. Women under the age of 22 were not allowed to live unsupervised. In rare cases, single students were allowed to live off-campus by work- ing as part-time nannies. Later, the Dean of Women's office managed the League Housing pro- gram, which arranged rooms for female upperclassman and sorority members in approved housing. In 1958, the Women's Senate, a student government for women, extended female student's week- night curfew to 11 p.m. for freshmen and midnight for upperclassmen. But the University Board of Regents did not vote to eliminate curfew entirely Kinesiology Junior Thatiana Tavarez serves cotton candy at Winterfest in the Michigan Union yesterday.

CAMPUS EVENTS & NOTES until 1968. Women weren't allowed to wear pants in the dining halls and most lounges until 1961. To comply with the dress code, students often threw on wrinkled cotton "dinner dresses" over their pants. In the early 1960s then-Michigan Daily Editor in Chief Tom Hayden wrote a series of editorials con- demning these restrictive policies and those of then-Dean of Women Deborah Bacon. The students pre- sented testimonies that Bacon dis- couraged students from interracial dating. Bacon resigned on Sept. 30, 1961 and the position Was eliminated, end- ing the era of the dean of women. KELLY FRASER - Have apiece ofcampus lore that you want the Daily to investigate?

UNABOMBER From page 1A Kaczynski, however, has said that his property has been unlawfully taken fromhim.He requested alawyer with expertise in First Amendment litigation to fight the auction and the proposed editing. If the court refuses to appointhimwithanewattorney,he wants to represent himself. The University said it has not yet made any decision on whether or not it would accept the Kaczynski writings, because the situation is unresolved. "We are not a party to the court case," said University spokeswoman Kelly Cunningham. "There's a gen- eral understanding that we may be offered new material sometime in the future." Julie Herrada, curator of the Labadie Collection, said the docu- ments in question would fit with the current collection, particularly the manifesto drafts. "We would have sought out any- thing like this," Herrada said. "It fits the subject matter." The Special Collections Depart- ment, to which the Labadie Col- lection belongs, screens all of its acquired documents to ensure appropriateness ' and scholarly merit. Specialists in each collection area carefully examine each item for research value and longevity, the most important considerations dur- ingthe screening process. Herrada, who would examine the possible donation, does not know if the process would be altered because of the sensitive nature of the Kaczynski documents, but she said the library wouldn't be the only party involved in the evaluation. When Kaczynski donated his first batch of documents to. the University, he requested that many of the names be deleted from the documents to protect the people in them.* The courts allowed the initial donation because the pieces were acquired or written by Kaczyn- ski after his arrest, making none of them pertinent in any of his court cases, Herrada said. SPEECH From page IA dozen years with his lowest approv- al ratings in polls. Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California,the firstwomantolead the House, sat over Bush's shoulder, next to Vice President Dick Cheney. ReachingouttotheDemocrats,Bush opened with a tribute to Pelosi and paused to shake her hand. Healso asked for prayers for Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson, hospitalized for more than a month after suffering a brain hemorrhage, and Republican Georgia Rep. Charlie Norwood, suf- fering from cancer. The speech audience included up to a dozen House and Senate mem- bers who have announced they are running for president or are consid- ered possible contenders. - Bushdividedhis49-minuteaddress between domestic and foreign issues, but the war was topic No. 1. Pelosi set the tone for Democrats. She sat silently and did not applaud as Bush warned of high stakes in Iraq and said American forces must not step back before Baghdad is secure. With Congress poised to deliver a stinging rebuke on his troop increase, he made a personal plea to lawmakers. "I have spoken with many of you in person. I respect you and the arguments you made," Bush said. "We went into this largelyunited, in our assumptions and in our convic- tions. And whatever you voted for, you did not vote for failure." "Our country is pursuing a new strategy in Iraq and I ask you to give it a chance to work," Bush said. "And I ask you to support our troops in the field and those on their way." Pelosi and Senate Majority Lead- er Harry Reid gave Bush a swift answer. "While the president con- tinues to ignore the will of the country, Congress will not ignore this president's failed policy," they said in a joint statement after his address. "His plan will receive an up-or-down vote in both the House and Senate, and we will continue to hold him accountable for changing course in Iraq." i i nusvci-'a.v ,inimnna. - almost y god " - almost as g ood as M University Unions [is your homework finished?] i Climate Matters is a conference to provide an opportunity for students and administrators to identify and explore innovative ways to work together to create welcoming and inclusive elements of climate.
