girls of North and Nash Halls
a decided majority was in favor
of conducting Open House in the
future. Seventy-five per cent
of the girls said they thought
Open House rules as they are
now are adequate; that is where
they boy must call the girl in
the lobby and have the girl sign
him in and escort him to her
room where the door must be
left open one foot.
Slightly more than one half
of the girls said that theywould
be in favor of having their dorm
conduct Open House every
weekend. As it stands now, the
girls’ dorms will be having Open
House every other weekend and
during Parents’Weekend, Octo
ber 29.
The only two problems the
girls related were boredom on
one hand and too much noise to
study on the other. The boys,
though, didn’t complaint of ei
ther problem. All those polled
were in favor of longer hours
and less restrictive rules to
follow while visiting the girls’
dorms. Neither of the dorm mo
thers noted any problems during
the first weekend of Open House
and are hoping all goes as well
in the future.
