Women's Council Changes Rules New System of Major and Minor Offenses Inaugurated The Women's Council with Nancy Rossetter presiding met in closed session last week to revise the rules for dormitory girls. In.the future offenders will find it more difficult to escape punishment and those on the D-list are in for a slight shock. The offense list has been broken up into major ones and minor ones, with three minors constituting a major. One minor consists of having lights on after the twelve o'clock curfew, forgetting t osign out, failure to procure approval upon room inspection, and being late from one to five minutes. Lateness over five minutes will be special cases. Forgetting to sign out will be amajor offense, and every major offender will be called before the Council and campused for a Friday night. Other offenses will also be special cases. Beginning this six weeks every unfortunate freshman on the D-list must be in at 7 o'clcok unless she has a library permission from 7 until 9 and she positively cannot leave the dorm after 9 although she still has her original ten o'cock permissions. As a reward to every freshman who is not on the D-list, she is granted an extra ten o'clock this six weeks. Every sophomore in the same category will receive two extra ten o'clocks. Since there was more difference between the junior and senior permissions and the sophomore and junior ones, each lucky junior will receive two ten o'clocks a week instead of the aforesaid one.
