* "
In particular, the Report in-
lu'les a discussion of parietal
lours:
For some years, the University
ia- stated the hours when students
nav entertain women in their reei-
lfnne. In recent years, the hours
lave been extended gradually to
he present framework: 10:00 A M.
iniil midnight Sunday through
rhuraday; 10:00 AM. until 2:00
I M Friday-Saturday and Satur-
lay Sunday.
Current thinking includes ob
tain factors: that Wesleyan is an
II male residential community;
hut dormitories and other resi-
lfnnes are also places for study;
hut a student's room, as his place
f privacy, is a living room until
e retires; and that some uniformi
y of system is appropriate and
e,siiary in the interests of stu-
ents, their guests and the pur-
os«s of the University.
At Wesleyan concern for indivi-
uulity and respect for student pri-
anv make attempts to impose a
ommon morality on students out
f the question. Students are re
po nsible for their own destinies
nd have the right to choose their
wn standards. But the University,
i terms of its over-all posture
ithin society and its general re-
itions with students, has an obli-
ition to uphold and promote sys-
sns of values. Wherever possible.
Us should occur by common con-
that would in itself be an intrusion
on the privacy of others If stu
dents seeks to develop a system
that will command general respect
and support, progress ran be ex
pected.
The present parietal hours sys
tem is clearly inconsistent with the |
ideal of a university to function, l
as a community, on the basis of
affirmative commitments rather I
than negatively stated regulations. 1
It does not operate as effectively as
it should because it does not rest
on common consent. The system
is also unrealistic to the extent that
many students think it is at odds
with their self-interest
Thoughtful people do not Bolve
a problem of this sort simply by
removing or liberalizing rules and
hoping that events will show their
action to have been both wise and
prudent. The solution must be a
realistic one, involving both proce
dural and substantive considers-
tions, and it must be consistent |
with educational goals. In addi-
tion, the solution must be part of
an approach to community life ]
based on shared responsibility as •
well as individual freedom.

Music Building Dedicated
The dedication of Mercer's Ware
Youth Hall has been scheduled for
sometime this fall.
The building was remodeled for
the music department with funds
prdvided by Mr. H. H. Ware Jr ,
a prominent attorney in Atlanta.
Mr. Ware, a former alumnus of
Mercer, contributed the funds in
honor of his wife, Mrs. Katherine
Ware, an alumna of Wesleyan Col
lege.
The new music building was for
merly known as the Joseph E Wil-
let Science Building. It had been
built in the early 1900's as a
Y.M.C.A. center later to be con
verted into the biology building.
The Ware Youth Hall is now
considered to be the most modem
and up-to-date music department
in the southeast. The building is
completely air conditioned with all
new studios, rehearsal rooms ami
recital room. The department has
six organs, six practice pianos and
four grand pianos, and is antici
pating getting six much needed
grand pianos in the near future.
The music department extends
much gratitude to Mr. and Mrs.
j Ware, President Harris and Vice-
President Haywood for their in-
i terest and concern in the depart
| ment.

B.D.M.O.C.? Button-down moccasins, maybe? Well, that makes
as much sense as natural shoulder slacks! Actually, B.D.M.0.C,
stands for Best Dressed Man on Campus. And each Fall, certain
select stores throughout the country run a contest to pick the best
dressed college man in their area. That’s where we come in. From
this group of winners, we select a panel to make up our...

COLLEGE ADVISORY BOARD , which is brought to New York in
the Spring—all expenses paid—for a whirlwind week of fashion,
seminars, business sessions...and some exciting extracurricular
activities. (The last group had a night in Greenwich Village at a
swinging new club—Salvation-complete with New York fashion
models for dates.)
WITH ACCUSTOMED ESQUIRE STYLE, the men were booked
into Dehnonico’s on Park Avenue—one of New York’s poshest
hotels—and awaiting their arrival was a wardrobe of clothes, es
pecially selected by our fashion staff. Before going any further,
perhaps we should introduce this year's panel:
DAVID WILLIAMS is a junior attending the University of Arizona
on an acting scholarship, and JAMES O’CONNOR is a psychology
major at Columbia who plays varsity football. TOM SHIELDS is
a 20-year-old International Relations major who is chairman of
Harvard’s Undergraduate Council. At Grambling College, DAVID
TOLLIVER takes time out from the debating team to teach off-
campus, and mathematics major KENNETH JACKER—in the
Honor Program at San Jose State College—managed to maintain
a 4.0 grade point average last semester while working on several
campus committees and serving as treasurer of his fraternity.
STEPHEN SERBE was president of his class last year at George
town University, and RICK EVANS has held a number of offices
in his fraternity (SAE) at Northwestern. Other fraternities were
represented by JEFFREY MONT from DePauw University < Beta)
and WILLIAM STRONG from San Diego State (Kappa Sig).
EDWARD ENGLISH from St. Thomas College is active in the
Young Democrats, and JOHN WALSH—a strapping 6’2" freshman
at Boston College last year—is very sports minded.
PENDLETON, Burlington, Yardley, DuPont, Bostonian, Alligator
...these are just a few of the leading toiletry and apparel manu
facturers participating in the fashion sessions. Some brought pro
totype samples...shirts with matching ties, shaped suits, bold
plaid jackets, square-toed shoes...for first-hand appraisal. The
panel offered their candid opinions on all types of apparel and
the results were sometimes surprising, always informative. Next
month we’ll give details on the fashions they picked as moat-likely-
to-aucceed.
TOPPING IT OFF, the panel wts preserved for posterity in a
group photograph which appears in color in our September “Back-
To-College” issue. We hope you’ve already seen it If not just look
for the magazine with the Beautiful People on the cover...Tiny
Tim A Friends. And I ask you now—who could be more beautiful 1
