Schools trade
ideas at SFA

Of The Battalion Staff
Texas A&M’s Residence Hall As
sociation members will “set up hou
se” in Nacogdoches for a weekend in
November while attending a univer
sity Residence Hall Conference.
Jean Laird, A&M student and
RHA national communication coor
dinator, will represent A&M during
the South West Affiliate of College
and University Residence Hall con
ference at Stephen F. Austin Univer
sity.
“Basically, the SWACURH con
ference keeps the schools in touch
where they can discuss and ex
change ideas,” Laird says.
Universities from Arkansas, Loui
siana, Texas and Oklahoma also will
attend the conference.
Laird says several different uni
versities have contacted A&M to ask
how a conservative school passed a
24-hour visitation proposal and will
seek information from A&M about
the policy at the conference.
Laird says RHA wants more stu
dent involvement. If more members
become involved, RHA could better
serve A&M residents, she says.
Laird presently is trying to find
out the conference dates, which fall
on school days. The absences will be
University excused.
A deadline will be set for those in
terested in attending, but there is no
limit on how many students go.
Conference registration will be in
the A2 lounge between Hughes and
Moses halls on the north side of cam
pus.
For further information, call the
RHA office at 845-3051.
