The Radcliffe Government Association accepted a recommendation from President Bunting yesterday that will make advanced standing sophomores subject to freshman social rules.
At the same meeting the long-standing Radcliffe Board of Hall President was temporarily discontinued. It was thought that the separate house Judicial Boards will replace board of Hall. Both groups deal with serious infringements of Radcliffe's social regulations.
Mrs. Bunting Explains
Mrs. Bunting explained that students are accepted with advanced standing because of exceptional academic achievement in high school, an accomplishment which does not necessarily influence social maturity.
She also suggested that offering upper classmen's rules to potential AP students might present an "unhelpful temptation" to those students who had not decided whether to take advanced placement.
A majority agreed that second-year AP students are considered members of their graduating class, and should be "juniors with respect to the social rules."
