ORIENTATION ’84 THE TWIG PAGE 9 Tanning time by Elizabeth Smelcer As summer rapidly ap- roaches, one obession seems to take over the minds of most Meredith angels - SUNTAN! Classes are forgotten, appoint- ments are neglected, and every thing else seems to fall in second place behind the job of browning our bodies. Starting as early as February, tt>e Mere dith campus becomes littered with hundreds of sun-seeking girfs. Music and laughter (and often chattering teethy can be heard echoing fnsirt the breeze- ways, the lake area, and other designated sunning spots. I've never really been intent upon having a suntan before summervacation, but I’ve found that having “tieach b^y” skin is a big deal up here. After s(>end* ing my Spring Break freezing to death at a N.C. Beach, I re- turr>ed to school to find tons of bronzed bodies from the beeches of Florida and Ber muda proudly trotting around campus. It was then that I de cided that I could not go around glowing any longer. Equipping myself with a beac^ towel and baby oil, I forced mys^f to He out when ever I had the chance. When I couldn't immediately obtain a dark complexion, I decided there had to be a better way. One of the latest attrac tions to sun-seeking girls who don’t have time to be out of school or those girls who fus^ want ^ instant tan is the tan ning booths located on Six Forks road. Sure Tan Tanning is an office equipped with ten tan ning booths and run by a sweet older woman named Patsy. I’ll never forget my first visit to “Patsy's Race." On a cold and cloudy day in March I nervously went out tliere with three friends, expecting to be the only area college student in the office. However, we were greeted tiy N.C.S.U. fraternity. In the privscy of my little booth, I shed every piece of my clothing, in hopes of acquiring an “all over*’ Gre^ tan. After seven minutes (equivalent to seven hours in the sun) I emerged Just as pale as i was upon entering. But, by nightfall my skin had turned a deep sf^e of red, and I found it dif ficult to move. Since that day I've alter nated between natural and arti ficial sun tanning methods, and I'm proud to say that I’m not the “Albino Angel” that I once was.

Room search procedures The manner in which the room search was conducted last year caused a great distur- “ransacked,” othere contested that their rooms were not searched as thoroughly as others, on 2nd Heilman said their rooms were “ransacked,” while others contested that their rooms were not searched as thoroughly as others. After the search was con ducted tile SGA Executive Qommittee cdmpiled a list of procedures to be followed in future searches. Below are the procedures established after the first room search had taken place. 1. The SGA Executive Committee reserves the right to conduct room searches. As a courtesy, members of Executive Committee will ask the occu-. pant of the room if they nrtay search the room. Nevertheless, Executive Committee nftembers have the right to search the room without the permission of the occupant. The Executive Committee members will irt- onn students of the gener^y purpose of the search. 2. Each searcher will carry a document with a statement to be signed by the occupant of the room to verify that the room was searched according to the prepared checklist. This docu ment includes: si Occupant's name, room number, date of search, names of searchere, and checklist of places to be searched (closets, desks, drawers, medteine cabinets, bathrooms, storage spaces, ceilings dnd persor>al ejects) b) List of items confiscated c) Space for additional commenfs \e be made by the occupant This document shall be signed and dated by the occu pant, the searchers, aral the reskjent advisor assisting with the search. If the occupant refuses to sign the document, charges may still be filed {^gainst her - for any* evidence found in her room; 3. Nonrelly, n»m searches will be conducted rar>domiy. However, If there is suspicion of several students on the same hall, air of the rooms on that hall may be sean:^. 4. During the seach of an ir>dlvidual room, at least one resid^t advisor should, be pee-, sent. 5. Search of an entire hall: At the beginning of the seareli, students will be asked to gather in the halt parlor where the procedure for the search will be read and ex- plained. At thai time, students desiring to study may be escorted to th^r rooms to ob tain their txx)ks. Students wilt not be allows to use their tele phones or the halt telephone during the search. After their room has been searched, students may return to the park}r or they may leave (he hall. After an entire suite has been searched, the students in that suite may return to their rooms. Students not living on that hall wlll rtot be allowed on the hall during the search. At le»t two resklent ad\hsors will be present during the seer^. One will be assigned to a designated area O.e. hall parior), while the other will tie present irt the room during the actual search. The resident advisor observing the seath will sign the document ^ support that items taken tf«re In fact in violation of Col lege Policy. 6. Any items found that are in violation of College Policy may be confiscated (i.e. drugs, alcohol, ^tension cords, etc.). All prescription drugs should be dearly: tatjeled. 7? the Executive Commit tee operates on the pre(nl9e that there shall be no alcohol on campus. Quantity Is not an Issue. Any container Intended for the storage of alcohol that Is kept as a souvenir should be washed thoroughly before being brought to campus to remove any suspkilon of pos- sessk^n of alcohol on campus. Boys in our rooms? by Ellz^th Henderson Open dorms for guys? Sure! We need it here at Mere dith. Many other colleges and universities have this and it creates few problems. Here at Meredith we could have ^n dorm hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sun days from 2; 00-6:00. OR t^iey could let boys come up to our rooms just on the weekends from 9:00 - 12:00 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. E^h girl who brings a visitor to her room must sign him In and out. If he has not signed out by mid night, the RA or hall advisor goes to the girl's room and politely reminds them that visiting hours are over. A program simitar to this one could tie ,put into use at Meredith relatively easy. Desks could be put In thie first-floor pallors of each dorm with slgn- In and sign-out sheets resem bling the ones used for sign-ins in Johnson Hall every night for sophomores, juniors, and seniors with self-detennining hours. Students could ntan the desks and make a little extra money. This job would provide the Financial Aid}ffkie another position for girls who are trying to qualify for financial aid. If all these things are avail- at^e to Instigate open donn hours, then why is it not a reality? If enough people voice theiropinlon, nf>aybe something can be done. The Twig would like to hear your responses to this article. We urge every student to sut> niit a fetter to the editor voicing your Opinion on this subject. Please drop your letters off at the Twig office, located on 2nd Cate or at 113 Heilman. Thanks for.your support. *
