September 13,1995 4 Campus News Open House to be presented to trustees by Erica L Balmer SGA Vice President/ Senate Chair Following the 1993 student referen dum concerning Open House, the current Open House policy was presented as a recommendation before the Meredith College Board of Trustees in February of 1994 by the SGA Senate and Residence Hall Board. The approval of this recom mendation by the trustees was a inajor step in providing Meredith students with not only an increased visitation policy, but more opportu nities for social activities on campus. Male visitation, however, is not a suppressed issue for the Meredith student population and its student representatives. Some students have expressed a desire for an extended visitation policy. While this issue affects primarily resident students, comments and sugges tions from all campus groups are needed in order to accurately evaluate the current male visitation policy. Efforts are currently being made to analyze the possibility of drafting an extended visitation recommendation. The 1994-95 Senate conduaed an extensive research campaign of other college visitation policies. The comparison study of various Baptist colleges and universities, women’s colleges, and other North Carolina educational institutions included schools such as Campbell University, Wake Forest University, Salem College, Mary Baldwin College, Hollins, UNC-Chapel Hill, and NCSU, just to name a few. The 1995-96 Senate will be continuing this research throughout the fall semes ter. This research information provides an interesting prospective on how Meredith’s visitation policies compare with those of other col leges and universities. Additionally, this year’s Senate will be cooperating with the Residence Hall Board to evaluate student use of Open House hours during the fall semester. OPEN HOUSE DATES for FALL 1995: Sat., Sept. 23 l-5pm Sat., Oct. 1 l-5pm(Family Day) Sun., Oct 22 l-5pm Sat. , Nov. 11 l-5pm I strongly encourage you to utilize these Open House opportunities. Student support of Open House is extremely important to the devel opment of Meredith’s social environment. An extended male visitation recommendation will require evidence of student use of current open House hours. The statistics concerning the number of visitors during each Open House will serve as a major focal point in the consideration of extended visitation hours. More importantly, an accurate survey of student opinions must be made to determine the percentage of the Meredith student body desiring an increase in male visitation. Although a survey addressing Open House and male visitation was distributed during the 1995 spring semester, an additional poll of the student body will be made to acquire specific percentages of those students supporting or opposing extended visitation. A student referendum will tentatively be held Wednesday, November 15 to poll student opinions. The referendum will include both resident and commuter participation. All opinions will be heard and addressed throughout this process. Student input is the most valuable resource. The data and information compiled from the comparison study. Open House statistics, and the student referen dum will be presented to the Meredith College Board of Trustees during the spring semester by Senate and RHB. An extension of the current visitation policies will be recommended at this time if so desired by the student body. If you have any questions, com ments, concerns, or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me (309 Barefoot x7888). I encourage you to also express your needs to your class,, AMC, and WINGS senators, as well as other SGA officers. The student government will continue to update you as the semester progresses.
