Page 6 Oct. 15, 1993 Policy On Coed Visitation Modified By KIM COLE Staff Writer Crowded lounges, chilling outside on the steps or meeting in the union just to socialize with the opposite sex might be a thing of the past. On October 10, the new visitation principles approved by Chancellor Julius Chambers went into effect. The modification of coed visitation in the resident halls was spaiked by last semester’s list of Student Concerns. This is not the first time this has been an issue at NCCU. Other complaints have been filed, but no modifications had been made. The initial Friday, Saturday and Sunday visitation guidelines were set by a committee of the Board of Trustees in the 80’s for honors students only. Then it was modified for all dormitories. Today the 1993 modification was based not on a committee from the Board of Trustees but by student votes. Each resident hall was asked to voice their opinion or concerns on the hours of visitation. The results and the hours in effect are as follows: Chidley Eagjeson 5-12 (Mon.-Fri.) 1-12 (SaL&Sun.) Baynes 6-10 (Mon.-Fri.) 1-12 (Sat.&Sun.) Latham 5-12 (Mon.-Fri.) 3-12 (Sat.& Sun.) Rush 5-12 (Mon.-Fri.) 1-12 (Sat&Sua) Annie Day 5-12 (Mon.-Fri.) 1-12 (SaL&Sun.) McLean 5-12 CMon.-Fri.) 3-12 (SaL&Sun.) These hours will be in effect for the rest of the 1993-1994 school year and will be modified if needed according to the residents’ concerns. Nowell Brooks, a resident director of Chidley reminds students that policies can be su^nded as a form of disciplinary actions.

They are all members of Multi-Greek fraternities and sororities. In spite of the fact that many noted black leaders are members, many people don’t know who and what the Multi-Greeks are. Todd Johnson, first vice- president of Multi-Greek fra ternity Phi Beta Sigma at the University of Washington, says that cormnunity action is the philosophy of the Multi- Greeks. “We are Greek by letter but our whole goal is to uplift the black race and community,’’ he said. The Multi-Greeks were founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C., at the begining of the century, and membership has blossomed. Multi-Greeks oftenmaintain strong ties with alumni, creat ing networks of support These networks typify die commit ment MuM-Gre^ say diey fed for their organizations. Some members of Multi- Greek fraternities choose to have their letters or a angle letter branded on them.

By GERALDINE NDIFORCHU Staff Writer Chidley Hall and the Women’s Gymnasium will be renovated if a $310 million University Improvement Bond package passes in the Nov 2 election. North Carolina Central University is expected to re ceive almost $ 11 million for the renovation. About $9 million would be used to convert Chidley Hall into a multi-pur pose student-life complex. The complex would contain conference and administrative space, and housing for 224 stu dents. More dormitory space would be added to the complex as required. The remaining $1.9 million will be used to remodel the Women’s Gymnasium to ac commodate academic pro grams, student activities and public meetings. The university can only re ceive this mrniey if students, alumni and North Carolinians across the state show their sup port by voting on Nov. 2, said Peggy Watson-Borden, director of University Career Services and coordinator of the bond ref erendum drive on campus. Ev erybody who has registered is encouraged to vote, she said. NCCU’s campaign strategy involves students, alumni, par ents and friends of the univer sity working together, said Watson-Bordai. She added that conducting voter registration drives, calling voters and or ganizing the campaign are just a few of the activities underway as NCCU gears up fortius Bond Referendum Students are standing at the forefront of the campaign, she said. Watson-borden also said they will benefit greatly, as will the entire NCCU family.
