Residence Hall Open House Option Judged Enjoyable During Trial Run
By RITA HAUGH Kansan Staff Writer
Most residents of Ellsworth Hall can now have visitors of the opposite sex in their rooms at any time, Elen Hanson, resident director, said Wednesday.
Results of voting by wing, which began Monday night and ended Tuesday, showed that all except one wing voted in favor of 24-hour open house for the two-week trial period which started Monday, she said Only 9S, a girls' wing, voted for open house from noon to midnight on weekdays and 24 hours on weekends.
Residents will vote on an open house schedule for the remainder of the semester Monday, Sept. 14, according to the policy statement distributed in Ellsworth. The statement said that the trial period was set up to enable residents to become oriented to the University and to establish living patterns in the hall.
Determination of the open visitation hours is done on each wing by secret ballot, and a two-thirds majority vote is required. Mrs. Hanson said. To change the hours requires a majority vote and a two-thirds vote for the new hours.
Security hours are from midnight Sunday through Thursday, and 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday,
Old-fashioned Square Dance Draws Crowd
"Dos-a-dos your corner, seesaw your partner . . ."
Those words, mingled with square dance music, filled the lobby of Ellsworth Hall Monday night. Couples started with the basic "all join hands and circle to the left" and ended the two-hour session with the more complex "right and left through"
L. R. "Dad" Perry, who has taught square dancing at Lawrence High and at KU, was the caller. He and his wife, Clea, both came dressed in their western-style square dancing costumes.
Ellsworth had two square dances called by Perry last spring.
Monday's dance was planned by Mike Carpenter, Kansas City senior and treasurer of Ellsworth
"We wanted some of the new people and old people to get together in a way that was a lot of fun last year," said Carpenter. Although only 40 students danced, between two and three times that many watched and partook of the free cookies and punch served during the breaks.
to 7 am, the next day. During security hours the doors to the hall are locked and only residents and the guests they register at the desk may enter, she said.
The statement on open house or open visitation policy reminds residents of the "contractual rights of each resident to privacy and an environment that is conducive to sleep and study." Each resident is also responsible for his guests, who must abide by all residence hall and University regulations.
After the trial period, the open house hours will be evaluated by the students on each wing and the residence hall staff, Mrs. Hanson said.
"So far I think it has gone OK," she said. "The main problem is noise."
"The ability of the residents to study is my main concern," she said. "This system will take some of the responsibility off the resident assistants and put it on the individual residents."
Ellsworth's students seem to be enjoying their open house hours, said Romalyn Eisenstark, Manhattan senior and resident assistant.
"Everyone seems to enjoy it—I know I have," said Susie Galinaitis, Herndon, Va., freshman.
"I foresee no problems," said Robin Earhart, Overland Park junior, "and I await the year with anticipation."
Of the other residence halls on campus, only Gertrude Sellards Pearson, Corbin and Oliver Halls do not have the option of having 24 hour open visitation. GSP, a freshman women's hall, can have open visitation only on special occasions, according to information distributed by the Dean of Women's office. Corbin, also a freshman woman's hall, has options on hours between noon and midnight on week nights and noon and 1 a.m. on weekends. Oliver, a co-ed hall for freshmen and sophomores, has the same options as Corbin.
The other halls, Hashinger, Lewis, Templin, Naismith, McCollum and Joseph R. Pearson, all have the option of 24-hour open house.
