Freshmen Gain Signatures For Parietal Change

A petition requesting extension of Saturday night parietal hours in Freshman dormitories has received nearly 1000 signatures, according to Thomas E. Petri '62, Chairman of the Freshman Council.

The petition asks that women be allowed in the Yard dormitories until at least 11 p.m. on Saturday if their escorts inform their proctors three days in advance, and if there is "adequate lighting" in freshman's room while women are present. The petition also subjects the change to any further "arangements the administration wishes to make."

Petri, Richard Crystal '62, and Alexander Korns '62, we circulating the petition. They plan to submit it to Dean von Stade tomorrow.

Previous Freshman parietal rules allowed women in the dormitories only from 1 to 8 p.m. on Saturdays, and weekdays from 4 until 7 p.m.
