Visitation gets tentative approval by Keith Nelson For the first time the Elon College Board of Trustees has passed a policy for open visitation in the dorms on weekends or special occa sions with approval of the dean of student affairs. Earlier the Student Govern ment Association passed a similar bill. Presented with the SGA request was a copy of the administration policy. Last Wednesday Bryant Colson, SGA president, ex plained how the visitation policy would work. Each dorm will decide whether it wants visitation. The house council will be responsible for the enforcement of the rules. Visitation privileges may be revised and altered by the dean of student affairs in consultation with the presi dent of the SGA and House Councils. Groups guilty of violations “will be subject to loss of visitation privileges.” The general council will be re sponsible for csirrying out any disciplinary action. The guests must be in vited, met at the registra tion point, and escorted to the room. There they must remain unless they are a member of the same sex as the host or hostess. Colson also explained what would happen to stu dents who violate any of the rules. Students not comply ing with the regulations are subject to not less than social probation and possible a $25 fine or 25 work hours. Colson’s speech concluded with a “special thanks” to past SGA presidents Robin Moser, Tim Moore, and Sam Moore. He said that efforts made “my job a lot easier.” There was also a “special thanks” given to the SGA Senate and officers. He expressed concern “that the students not ruin these efforts and not misuse or abuse the privilege.” In closing, Colson thanked Dean Long, the administra tive effort and the campus life committee for giving the students a visitation poiciy. “This is a big day for the SGA and the student body,” said Colson during an inter view shortly after his meet ing with the board. ‘ ‘The visitation policy won’t go into effect until Dean Long, the house coun cils, and I meet and discuss what will be done about the duty,” explained Colson. He continued, “We’re not con cerned with unenforceable things. Once we get all the loose parts together, all we have to do is wait for President Young’s approval. Until then visitation is still to be requested.” IS 18 89 Pink Cadillac - p.5 Ski Caravan - p.8 Elon fashion - p.6 Anything Goes - p.11 Volume VI Number 9 Elon College, Elon College, N.C. 27244 Thursday, October 25, 1979 by Cindy Violet The annual festivities of Parents Weekend premiere with a talent show Friday at 8 p.m. Will last year’s winner, Alan Fridman be able to defend his title as first place winner in the talent show?

"In the pasi, it’s been a nuge succes; come early to get a Senators leave SGA meeting, criticized by V.P. King White J.

Emanons, choir to entertain by Keith Nelson An attempt to get senator- iaJ approval for the remain ing six articles of the new constitution was brought to a stop last Thursday night. For articles to pass a two-thirds Senate majority (24) is need ed for a quorum. The Senate took a break to have pictures taken before those who had classes need ed to leave.Afterwards those who had class as well as several others, left. With only 23 senators remaining, discussion about the new contitution was closed. King White, SGA vice- president and president of the Senate, told the sena- good seat,” says Mianzo. The Fightin’ Christians and the Showband of the Carolinas are working hard to impress parents also. As usual. Prof. White and Dr. Bragg have cre.ated another wild half-time show. The game starts at 2 Saturday at Memorial Stadium and the Fightin’ Christians will host Gardner Webb.$ Other weekend events in clude registration and re freshments provided for stu- see page 11 tors, “with those that have excused absences or leaves, I have no complaints. But the ones who left for no knowii reason show they are irre sponsible senators.” He con tinued, “You are doing your job by coming and staying.” SGA President Bryant Col son supported White’s state ments £ind added, “It’s important to come to edl the meetings for just this reason.” Later he said, “By not coming it’s being unfair to everybody — fellow stu dents and the Senate. They’re not being fair to the people who revised the con stitution and those that favor it.” The senators who had unexused leaves were Vickie Blackwell, newly-in Mike O’Brien, Clay Tuck, and Mike France. Human services alert by Henry White The deadline for human services majors to sign up for the spring internship passed on Oct. 1, and many students complained that they receiv ed notice of the cut-off date. Any seniors who wish to take the internship this spring and have not register ed should contact Dr. Howard Higgs immediately. The human services major requires that the student participate in two field studies. The first is usually taken during the winter or summer term of the junior year. This work, known as the practi- cum, provides an overview of the student’s chosen agency and lasts three weeks. The emphasis is on becoming fetmilieu* with the funding and services of the organization. The final field experience cover seven weeks of the senior year. During this time the student goes to an agency and works with pro fessional staff members. The emphasis of the internship is on having an actual case load. The student is super vised by his professor as well as the organization’s staff. Some common area of study are vocational rehabilitation, drug and alcohol rehabilita tion, court counseling, social services, police work, and service to the elderly.
