regulates the number of activities
in which a coed may participate.
All women students living in
the dormitories and organized hous

6 p.m., it is necessary to "sign
out," for the anticipated destina
tion and the expected hour of re
turn. Upon returning, it is neces
sary to "sign ia" on this same

Closing hours are regulated by
the AWS board. First semester
women must be in the dorm by
9 p.m. Monday through Thursday,
12:30 p.m. on Friday night, 1 a.m.
