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 preceding each semester thandurinpj time. Security risks arc a potential pro 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.” I HOU State leg of Corn struedor hursda The jhowing :cts wit illion 1 |osts a bo “The ues to b< [xternall 'gislatr a numbe Jroblem: Briate in id folio 1 The re of a new kitchen, trier of ] Y INCREDIBLE FULLY IBM-AT COMPATIBLI $1649.0 FULLY IBM-PC/COMPATIBLE $649.
