Heralds Year With (haage By Claudia Young After much protest and debate, the Woman’s Student Government Association has made some very definite altera tions of its rules and regulations. The Woman's Student Govern ment Association is the govern ing body of Mercer’s co-eds. The main purpose for this organi zation is to ensure harmony while living in the dormitory. Until re cently, many of the rules and reg ulations were burdensome to foe ■tudents, and revision became ap parent Last spring quarter foe WSGA and Dean Glenn carefully studied foe handbook and came to this understanding; they felt that college women should be mature enough to make their own decis ions concerning dating and study ing behavior. So, in this light, the WSGA revised the handbook con taining its rules and regulations. The newest and probably the most popular of ail the changes in the handbook, were the closing hour revisions. The new closing hours for the Freshman Dorm are: Monday- Thursday 10:30 PM. Friday and Saturday 12:00, and Sunday 11:00 PM. For Sophomores and Juniors the closing hours are: Monday- Thuraday 11:00 PM. Friday and Saturday 12:30 AM, and Sunday 11:00 PM. Seniors have the same hours as the Sophomores and Jun iors—but are given 1:00 permission Friday night A new policy for granting per missions on the week-ends was sent to foe upper-classmen this sum mer. Freshman must still secure written permission from home every weekend they wish to leave cam pus. But, for the Sophomore, Jun ior, and Senior girls, a new option of obtaining a standing permission is available. This permission en ables a girl to leave campus with out securing an individual permis sion each week-end.

The campaign was tedious and well fought, and unexpectedly extended one day due to a tie in the runoff for president. The winners were Scott Maclay from Melbourne, Florida, Presi dent; George Leske, from St Pe tersburg. Florida, Vice President; Susan Green, from Jacksonville, Florida, Secretary; and Linn Dil lard, from Atlanta, Treasurer. Susan Green, still elated at her election said Tuesday night; "My election was an honor and I know it could never have been done with out all the terrific support I re ceived. I shall work with my fellow officers for the freshman class to the best of my ability." Susan proved victorious over four other candidates for the Secretary’s post, with a final win over Nancy West- wood in the runoffs Monday after noon. The candidates all were appre ciative of their supporters, especial ly to their fritwk who put so much time in the posters and stickers seen all over campus. East German born George Leske expressed his thanks to his campaigners, "espec ially S. L. Murphy.” Linn Dillard gives her "sincere thanks to all those who supported me.” She goes on to say: “We have a class with great potential and if we work to gether this year we can begin a tra dition of not only making the class of *71 outstanding, but also of at tributing much to Mercer.” Linn came out the winer in a very tough run for Treasurer, and a runoff with Larry Finkelstein. George Leake’s final comment on the elec tion was: “The only promise I SCOTT MACLAY make is to never disappoint ths peo ple who thought enough of me to elect me." Leske survived a very dose race for the Vice President's office by beating John Luther. The outcome for President was perhaps foe most interesting. This year the list of candidates reached the number of eight, of which three ran off. The tradition of running off foe leading two had to bo brok en this year because of a tie be- (Condoned on page 1. Col. S)
