suggestion and others de signed to create a more informal and unified atmosphere among the residence halls for house party will be presented to the residence halls council in the near future for its considera tion under this revision of houseparty arrangements no dormitory would be given over entirely to dates as dravo was for the fall houseparty a part of each of the six residence halls would be sealed off and this could easily be done explained philip b woodroofe director of residence halls married adult couples would be hired to chaperone the girls these couples would live in the respective dormitories it would be the task of each dormitory to make these couples part of the group and have them parti cipate in the various group ac tivities the committee expressed the hope that the attitude of the student and his date toward matron service would be improved under the pro posed plan woodroofe said his office would send out formal letters to either the girl's family or her school
