Texas A&M students will have more time for
visiting and romancing during the week before
the spring semester because visitation hours be
tween dormitories are being extended temporar
ily, said Thomas Murray, director of student af
fairs.
The extra visitation hours will be implemented
Monday, Jan. 12, which is the first day students
are allowed to move into their dorms for the new
semester. The hours will remain in effect
through Thursday, Jan. 15. The new hours ex
tend from 10 a.m. to midnight, whereas normal
visitation on weekdays is from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The hours revert back to normal that week
end, when they will be from 10 a.m.-1:30 a.m.
Friday and Saturday and from 10 a.m.-10 p.m.
Sunday.
The extra visitation hours not only enable
family and friends of the opposite sex to help res
idents move into their dorms, but also give stu
dents more time to visit with their dates without
leaving their rooms, Murray said.
“There’s a lot of need by the residents ... to
have parents, friends, girlfriends and boyfriends
help with the move-in process,” he said.
Philip Baker, head resident of Walton Hall,
said his resident advisers often have faced the
problem of having female family members come
into the hall outside of visitation hours.
“I can’t tell you how many mothers we’ve (Wal
ton residence staff) had come in early or late,"
Baker said. “Should we let them help the stu
dents bring their stuff in? It’s not really visitation,
but it’s just a guy’s mom helping him move his
stuff in.”
Extension of the hours may help alleviate that
problem, he said.
Baker originally conceived the idea for altera
tion of the hours and headed development of a
proposal from the North Area head residents
that was submitted to Murray, he said.
Final authorization for the plan was given by
Ronald Sasse, director of student affairs.
Murray said another point discussed while the
plan was under consideration was the lack of «u a-
demic demands the week before the semester
starts. Rules concerning quiet hours in the dorms
can be relaxed, he said.
“It gives students a little bit of a break on visita
tion rights during a time when we (student af
fairs) don’t feel like there’s a lot of problem with
having an extra hour or hour-and-a-half visita
tion,” he said.
Baker said current visitation hours are set at
the times they are because many students need a
quiet atmosphere in which to study or sleep.
But the week before classes are in session
there’s no studying to be done, Baker said.
Murray said another reason houiu
extended is l)ecause students ignore'
rules dui ing the pre-semester week aim;
"I think the attitude tended lohell
aren't in ef fect, there are no visiutnii
he said. “Consequently, it turnedintoipaB |
den foi out residence hall ttafl
mind students that there are visitationk«
Included in the extended visitation I
were the results of 148 surveys coira
members of the Residence Hall Assodatffl
residents and resident advisers. Overall
cent of those surveyed were for diet
and 20 percent against it.
Joe Knight, a resident adviserinM
said he participated in the survey,awl4
time change is a good idea, but he hasiij
enced more visitation problems duriitjaf

Murray said it shouldn’t create ana
d ranee.
“We’ll probably end up still locking^
we normally lock at 10 o’clock, ” he a
won’t leave those open until midnighis
don’t feel like we’ll have any changesl
problems.”
