Lawyers No Longer Able to Entertain Women in Hastings Hall in Evening

Residents of Walter Hastings Hall, Law School dormitory, are no longer observing the parietal rules concerning women in the rooms with their traditional grain of salt; for the grapevine telegraph has spread the word that the authorities are from now on going to enforce the letter of the law.

The first intimation of a stiffer policy came when a new watchman, whose function it is to watch Hemenway Gymnasium, refused to wink at the students' time honored tendency to regard the 7 o'clock deadline for cocktail parties as a more rough idea of when festivities should be called off.

Although no official confirmation has come from University Hall or Dean Landis, the screws are believed to have been put on as part of a campaign to better Harvard's relations with Cambridge by forestalling any popular misconception that law students hold wild all-night orgies in their rooms.

Walter Hastings residents contend that any laxity in enforcing the 7 o'clock feminine curfew in the past was net so much due to deliberate winking on the part of the authorities, as to the absence of anyone to enforce the rule.

Students first felt the pinch when they found out that the watchmen meant business. It is believed, however, that two Seniors were tipped off by the authorities and passed along the good word about the new policy.
