Deiik Mr. Caulliom:
Tli\ Idler in in ri fr-rence to tho
article in last week'll CLUSl'iIl
on rule clmngi *. Tiie stale-
inent is made (hut the WSGA and
Dean Glenn feel Hint "college wo
men should be mature enough to
nvako their own decisions contcm-
ing dating nnd study behavior."
One wonders just what Dean
Glenn, ft- ai.. nteant by tlu- -above.
For example, .despite tho fact that
Merger women arc now mature
enough to make their own deci
sions concerning dating behavior.,
oy still ar.- not able to decide
w.i.en to come in from a date. Nor
are they able to decide what to
wear on dates. Nor are they able to
decide where to jiark when they
oome in from a date. Mercer wo
men Cannot decide where to dis
play infection. Nor can they decide
when and liow.to visit fruternity
lodges.
Despite, their, new-found maturi
ty, Mercer co-eds are not able —
or, more accurately, not allowed —
to muke their own decisions in
many other areas. They may Smoke
ill sohie places, but not others.
There are certain places they may
no't go. There are certa.n words
they may not bay. And u.dil re

these rules must-also be few. in
number, since tile boys' dorms ap
parently have no need of a tedious
jind complex system of “offense*”,
"rois.rU", und "campuses’’. •
Why. do these paradoxes ar.d in
equities exist? Why do the powers
that bo say ono tiling and practice
another? Wtiy are tho' girls treated
like junior high-schoolers while th*
Isays are treated as near-adults? I
believe it is because Mercer co-eds
aro thought not to- have very much
muturjty after all. I believe.it is
because the main purpose' of the
WSGA is not to "ensure harmony
while living in the dormitory," but 1
to ensure that each co-c-d dresses,
acts, behaves, and in general lives
exactly as the University decrees.
It is well to praise gradual libera
lizations of the WSGA rules, but
we must not be content with these
minute changes-. The overall tone
and intent-of this year’s handbook
is the same — namely, that the
girls must be carefully watched
and strictly disciplined in order for
Mercer to function well. Progress
in this area is not to be measured
by how far we have come,, but by
how far we have come, but how
far we have to go — which I believe
is a long way.-
The university apparently be
lieves that almost all the responsi
bility for Mercer's "image", purity,
integrity.' and overall . morality
tests.on 'tlx- co-vit*. Otherwise, it
would not regrnient them so strict-.
...v wade virtually ignoring the men
siuueata.. I must seriously question
such assumptions us this. I wonder
if the girls tire really - the sole
standard-nearer* of morality. I
wonder • if .'the astounding differ
ences in treatment, of Hie sexes is
really fair and-equitable. I wonder
if tiie semi-dictatorial system un
der which co-eds must live is recon-
cil.bfe with the highest ideals of
university education. I wonder if
this system is actually in the best
->t Mcicci iwiil- .i, an-H-r
deed of the entire university.
I think all Meiciiiaii* deserve
cl.sir and complete answers to these
qiu.-diout, nnd that they deserve
them now.
