Freer To Be Dorm Life For PSU Women The biggest change in college life for PSU women has been in dorm life. Many women do not re- alize how much freer they are to- day with regards to dormitory res- trictions. Even as recently as 1965 the dormitory rules were rather ar- chaic. Women were not allowed to leave campus overnight with- out permission from their parents and under no conditions were women allowed to visit residences occupied by men (unless they had written permission by the Dean of Women). If they attended any en- tertainment off campus, they had to go in groups (again with the per- mission of the Dean of Women). There was a strict dress code. Proper dress was expected at all times. Bermuda shorts could only be worn in the dormitory and to and from the gym. Sunbathing was permitted only behind Britt dormitory or West Hall with no males allowed in the vicini- ty at any time. Of course the sun- bat hers had to be properly dres- sed when going to and from the sunbathing areas. In order to date on nights other than Saturday, women had to have a C average. Freshmen and Sophomores could date two nights per week. Juniors had three nights, and Seniors four. All dates had to end before the front door was locked at 11:00. In light of the fewer restrictions at PSU dormitories in 1987, wom- en should be thankful that they ' ve come such a long way.

This PSU woman demonstrates her incredible forehand on the tennis court. € Women In Sports Unlimited Potential As PSU has grown over the years, the number of women ' s sports has increased tremendous- ly. In earlier years, if a woman wanted to participate in sports she was limited to intramural com- petition. In 1987, there were five sports open to women: tennis, basketball, softball, volleyball and cross country. PSU ' s female athletes have re- ceived considerable recognition for their outstanding achieve- ments in sports. Kathy E. Little was the first woman at PSU to be inducted into the PSU Athletic Hall of Fame. The PSU women ' s basketball team has come a long way over the years. In 1984, they were ranked number one in the NAIA district. The next year the team had a record of 26-5 with a 19 game winning streak. Two former basketball players, Barbara Green and Dee Majors, have had their uniforms retired in recognition of their talent. Women have become increas- ingly active and involved in sports. Now women compete in sports that were once thought to be suitable only for males. As soci- ety has allowed women to become more athletic, there has been a trend on the PSU campus toward keeping in shape . In 1987 women were not out of place in the weight room or on the track. They were as much at home there as anyone else. Dolores Osborne and Penny Aruin enjoy a brisk morning run around the traclt. 26 Review in
