The experiment in co-ed housing has been success! ^ ^ ^
in Mr. Rock's column. If men and women ff
live in the same dorm, why then should such elaborate arrange
ments be necessary for women students who do not live in Orange
to visit in the main lounge?
The regulation also seems to imply that
main lounges of the men’s dorms are constantly such that y
would be prohibitive to the presence of women students^ Usua y
when a male student has reason to invite a woman student int
the lounge, he first checks to see if the men present are property
dressed. Then if there are students present who are not proper y
dressed he asks the woman to wait outside. -r,
Requiring prospective female visitors to call the Residence
Director if she wishes to visit any of the men’s dorms is not
exactly fair to the residents of the dorms concerned. If there are
men in the lounge iwho are not fully dressed the only thing to o
then would be to ask them to leave or to redress. Now. for a
student who has a hard day of classes, who is relaxing and pos
sibly right in the middle of his favorite television program, to
ask him to leave or redress is slightly unfair.
We are advocating that men students allow themselves to
become compleiely sloppy and ungentle manly when they are re
laxing in the main lounges, but the dormitories are, m a sense,
'home for those who live there. Also, requiring these advance
notices is similar to the theme of “Clean up the house Ma, com
pany’s a-comin’!” j
Two possible alternatives are left. One is to set aside deti-
nite hours during which women students would be allowed to
visit in the main lounge, or to eliminate women’s visiting in the
men's dorms altogether.
Another question — without any immediate answer — is
why is Winston-Salem Dorm’s main lounge so devoid of furni
ture? Promises have been made all year of procuring more
furniture for the lounge. A few chairs and several sofas were
finally acquired, but the total number of pieces of furniture is
still only about half of that found in the other dorms.
Congratulations are in order for Doug Maxwell. President
of Mecklenburg Dormitory, and the residents of that dorm, for
the fine appearance of their main lounge. Throughout this year
Mecklenburg lounge has been outstanding in neatness.
Automalion
Drinking coffee and having bull sessions in the snack bar,
“cave,” “dope shop,” or whatever it might be called, is as much
a part of American college life as football. But the order is for
coffee in china cups, hot, and drawn from a big, shiny, steamy
urn. At St. Andrews? Drop your dime in a big green machine
that peers back at you with button eyes and belches forth a
small plastic cup full of lukewarm coffee(?).
The architects and designers who conceived and created St.
Andrews worked hard to develop an atmosphere of companion
ship and closeness. The suite idea in the dormitories, the divided
campus connected by the causewalk, the relatively small student
enrollment — these are all part of this idea. But last fall most
of us were shocked when we returned to campus to find the
warm ataosphere of the snack bar thoroughly chilled toy the
row of automatic vending machines which had replaced the grill
and serving area. There they sit like so many IBM data machines,
giving the student his choice of overcarbonated soft drinks, cold
syrupy coffee and either unappetizingly hard or soggy sandwiches.
What happened to the idea of a “family” atmosphere?
The Roving /
By LONNIE MANN
“An aspect of the Social I-jfe
of the Myopic Worm”
Bounding up the steps he
came, kicking mud off his bro-
gans and tugging on his hip
pockets to alleviate the overall
rideup. Clem was happy, and
for a very special reason. Yes,
he and Ellie Mae were going to
St. Andrews formal social af
fair! Clem is jealous too. Why
couldn’t he have nice clothes like
that city slicker Orwell Madras?
He always dressed in such good
taste.
Tonight he was wearing his
foi'mal green madras coat, off
set by his red sox and tie, and
dirty bottomed white ducks,
probably acquisitioned from an
unsuspecting kitchen hand. But
when they started to dance to
the “Virginia Reel,” Orwell’s
garters slipped and Ellie Mae
and Clem thought this to be
quite funny.
Being somewhat socially pre
cluded by his earlier agrarian
environment, Clem thought he
was now making his way in this
sophisticated college society. He
could hardly believe that only
a year ago he was sliding down
hay stacks back on the farm.
Every once in a while Clem
would regress and slide down
the banisters to the cafeteria.
As cases in point, both Clem
and Orwell have the taste of
myopic worms in their dress.
Clem is sophisticated now and
i Orwell is “cool,” but they are
both lousy dressers. Isn’t it
strange how the country worm
and the city worm have so much
in common. But here in the
I complacent St. Andrews atmos
phere all things are possible.
Let us not take the social prob
lem of the myopic worm light
ly. We should not adopt the ex
ample of various authorities by
producing a shovel and bury
ing the issue. We owe it to our
school’s reputation to address
ourselves directly to the prob
lem of the sloppy social eti
quette prevalent here. When
Clem and Orwell are big boys
Notes From Assistant
Dean Of Students
Women who wish to visit in
the men’s dormitories need to
observe the following proce
dure. Call tihe dormitory to
which you iwant to visit and get
permission from the Residence
Director of that dormitory.
Women going to men’s domfl-
tories are to visit only in the
main lounge and under no cir-
cuni,stanoes are the women to
visit without prior clearance;
from the host Residence Direc-.
tor. 'This is for both men’s dorm- j
itories and Orange where men
are housed. We expect the men
to accept their share of the re
sponsibility in this matter.
Sun bathing; We are hopeful
that in the near future we will
have a full statement on this
matter. For the time being let
me remind all students that
under no circumstances are the
roof tops to be used for sun
bathing. These roofs are built to
last for approximately twenty
years with normal wear but
they are of such a construction
that they are easily damaged.
There are no safety rails around
the top of the dormitories so
let me repeat that under no cir
cumstances are the roofs to be
used for sun batihing.
We hope to have an area set
aside for sun bathing — an area
that will afford privacy for
those using it At present we
do not know if this will be in-
