As outlined, the program is entirely voluntary iii toinis‘ ol' both hall and indiridirl inlrtieipation. In other words any hall or student not I isbing‘ to talie part in the program, has the right to abstain. No hall has tlle light to make hall membership contingent upon part )ation in this program.
