To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The decision of the faculty to permit women in the dorms until eleven o'clock on Saturday night seems very unsatisfactory to me, for in granting thi concession, they somehow felt obliged to subtract another eighteen hours during the week. Many of us have come to a appreciate these afternoon hours, especially on Friday afternoons when we were able to listen to the B.S.O. Concerts which begin at two, and on Saturday, when we were not obliged to go to the football games for something to do.

If the present decision and new hours were made to take the student an his date "off the street," I seriously question how successful this new ruling will be. If, as the faculty must suppose. We 'date' only on Saturday night, then the ruling is a fine thing, but I believe there are many of us who have women friends whom we see during the week, and for this rather considerable group, the new regulations cannot be received with any enthusiasm.

I ask the CRIMSON to present this side of the picture.

I ask the Faculty Committee and the Administrative Board to reconsider their regulations. Certainly their new rulings would imply that, if anything, we were less mature than they had thought we were.

I ask the Housemasters to earnestly find out how the housemembers feel about these new regulations. Joseph Wasserman '53
