Yack Staff Meeting All vfnrlnnfc inf rnctfwJ in wnvlr- ing on the Yacketv-Yack for 1959 have been asked to meet in the Rendezvous Room of Graham Memorial at 2 p.m. today. This meeting is for organizational purposes and wil not last long according to authorities. It is important that those interested be present if possible. Counc7 Will Not Hear Opposing Side In its meeting Tuesday night the Women's Residence Council reconsidered at length its previous action on rules changes for freshmen women entering the University.

It was specifically the controversy aroused by the proposed changes that led the Council to hold another meeting on them. The major part of the meeting was spent in "re-evaluation" of the changes, but no concrete action wasjtaken. The Council plans to continue sampling campus opinion among the residents of the women's dorms in an attempt to find out how the women feel about the measures. The reason given for this approach was that the rules were originally formulated by the outgoing members of the Council, and that therefore the new members, who just took office, arc not well acquainted with the background of the changes. At one time during the meeting there was a motion on the floor to allow a group of opposition women to speak before the WRC on their objections to the changes.

The motion was defeated by the members of the Council, and the opposition women were not allowed to speak. It is expected that some final action will be taken on the rules changes meeting next week. at the WRC New Officers To Be Installed At Legislature The' first session of the 25th assembly of the Student Legislature will meet tonight at 7:50 in Phi Hall, fourth floor New East.
