Director Says Students Don’t Take Housing Seriously
By Cynthia McPhail
“It appears that students are not tak
ing the matter of housing seriously,”
comments Mr. Joseph Daniels, univer
sity housing manager. They offer many
answers as to why they have not ap
plied. The same students when faced
with a housing dilemma this fall will
expect someone to resolve their pro
blems.
“There are not as many rooms
available for students now as there
were a year ago,” said Daniels. Since
December 1, 1981, the housing office
has been receiving housing contracts
for the “fall of 1982.” As of March 15,
1982, 106 males and 276 females had
appHed for housing which leaves ap
proximately 190 beds available for
female students and 79 beds available
for male students. “The months of
December and January, the contracts
came in rather slowly, but for February
and two weeks in March they came in
more rapidly,” commented Mr.
Daniels.
Mr. Daniels also said that there is a
serious problem of over-crowdedness
in the rooms which resulted in a
decrease in the total number of
students on campus.
According to Mr. Daniels, many
students fail to cancel their room
assignment before the last date and still
expect a refund. In order to get a re
fund, room assignments must be
cancelled by August 1 for fall semester
1982 and December 1 for spring
semester 1983. Some students report to
the campus, live in the dormitory a day
or two and expect a refund, said
Daniels. In addition, they expect to live
in the dormitories free; not realizing
that we have to pay for the laundry,
electricity, water, janitorial services
and staff. In many cases students
awaiting rooms often iiave to leave for
the semester.
The Student Life Office is in the pro
cess of addressing the renovation needs
in the residence halls. Some work has
been done on Bickett Hall and Pegram
Hall. These dormitories have received
new living room furniture, painting,
new stoves, refrigerators and other im
provements.
Mr. Daniels also said that there is an
increasing concern about vandalism in
the residence halls. Two dormitories
are currently paying for acts of van
dalism in the dormitories. Students are
urged to report persons who damage
property on campus especially in
residence halls. Properties such as
missing screens, desks, dust pans, etc.
are going to be charged to the
occupant.
Students are also urged to still send in
their housing contracts, although they
will be put on a waiting list. The fee for
a room is $25.00.
Coed Visitation Returns
By Malcolm Pharr
Coed Visitation began Tuesday,
March 30. It was not the first time that
students from residence halls have held
elections concerning coed visitation.
“Nineteen seventy-four was the first
year Winston-Salem State University
had coed visitation,” stated the Direc
tor of Student Life, Donald Benson.
The program lasted for only a few
weeks, and eventually dissolved due to
lack of participation.”
Hall moniotors and desk workers are
the people responsible for keeping
things under control. The basic respon
sibility of the hall monitor is to insure
that a conducive atmosphere exists on
his or her assigned hall, that quietness
and order prevails, and that there are
no violations of the visitation program.
The responsibility of the desk worker is
to essentially receive and identify, by
means of a sign-in/sign-out sheet,
visitors participating in the visitation
program.
The major problem in recent years is
that students have not worked for coed
visitation and in-turn it has done
likewise. President of Bickett Hall,
Steve “Dock” Culver was optimistic
about coed visitation at WSSU. “It
will work, if the students work,” stated
Culver. Student Government Associa
tion President, Michael Sutton,
visualizes coed visitation as a beautiful
program. “Cooperation is the key to
the success of the program. Ad
ministrators can play a vital role by
trusting the student body,” said Sut
ton. Donald Benson, who could be
considered the “overseer” of the pro
gram, feels students are capable of
dealing with coed visitation. “Students
are demonstrating adult-like attitudes
and are prepared to enhance personal
and social development,” stated
Benson.
