no. slit Stanford Committee Proposes Optional Open Dorm Expansions l Ed.miet1heloltowtugpro- posals moor-ding vlsllations Ire taken from A report subs minted to the Stanford Unl- versity administration by the "Cammlflfiv of Fllteenr" The Committee M Flfleeu, formed two yours ago, ls composed ht rive administrators, five faculty memberti, mil live stu- dents. While the committee has no direct power. It is a highly respected group whose recommendations have carried weight hr the past. Students and the faculty have approved the proposal which has been JD'S RESTAURANT EIEvtIIId—at 722V: MaIn. Grill-ell DISCOUNT CENTER BAN submitted to the university president tlor approval.) The basic premise on which our recommendation is based is that a resident University such as Stanford should try to provide optimum living con. ditions for those of its students who choose or are required to live on campus. Dorm residents, especially those required to live in dorms, should have free. dom to choose, individually and collectively, how housing facili- ties will be used. We do not, of course, mean to suggest that each student can or should be given absolute freedom to de termine how he or she will live in a University residence. Some regulations are obviously neces sary in the interests of health, safety, sanitation, the protection of property and tile mainten- ance of pleasant living and stir- dy conditions. Every restriction on a stir» dent's use of his own room SCARLET AND SLACK ought to have an affirmative justification besides the fact that it is traditional. Further, limitations on use should be de- termined by dorm residents rather than hv University rogue lations. in our view, the underlying matter of principle involved in the open house issue has alrca- dy been do a by the Uni- versity. Visitor of the opposite sex are now permitted to be in tlle rooms of Stanford students for substantial periods of‘time each week. Consequently we have not debated the accent» ability of open house as a mat- ter ot principle, but instead have concentrated on two prag- matic questions: 1, Should the number of permissible open house hours each week be expand. ed if the students so da- sire? 2. Who should decide if and to what extent open house hours should be eit- pandedi Our answer is that, subject to certain limitations discussed below, open house hours should be those Which are agreed up- on by the students in each resi- dence, except for freshmen G residences during the autumn quarter, to set their own open house hours. provided that an open house would not be per mittcd to last beyond 2:30 am. or begin betore 10:00 am. We do not believe, on the basis of the evidence that has been presented to us, that most residences will in fact set open house hours at or even near the maximum which our pm- posed regulations would permit. We propose a “basic" open house regulation, to prevail in the absence of affirmative ace tioii by the students concerned. The “basic” regulation would permit open house tour days a week from noon to midnight. in reaching our conclusions, we have carefully considered the argument that open houses inconvenience a o m a stu- dents. We rcilize that wlnlc there is widespread student support for expanded open house hours, there may be some students who will feel that the privacy and informality of their residence will be impaired by a more liberal open house policy, The problem of balancing these competing interests is a delicate and difficult one, but it seems clear to us that they must be balanced rather than he re- solved wholly one way or the other. We have concluded that the most practical and educational. ly desirable way to strike the necessary accommodation is tor the students in each residence to balance the various coinpct ing interests themselves, pro- vided only that minority Iter- csts are adequately cor ’dered and protected. With reference to roommates, this is justly one of many questions which they inust resolve in mutually ac- ceptable ways. We realize that not everyone agrees that inconvenience and privacy are the only relevant Friday. January 11, not considerations in determining open house limitations, For some it central concern to whether a more liberal open house policy will encourage sort- ual relationships among std dents. We think this false issue is exaggerated. students deny flint they seek more liberal open house hours for such pur poses, and comment that a Unl- versity residence is not an ideal or even a likely place for sexual relationships. in recommending modified open house regulations, we ex- pect that living conditions for those students who choose or are required to live on campus will be improved. We make this recommendation in the ex- pectation that Stanford stu- dents will oomply with the pro- ccc-rai requirements recom- mended, will respect the rights, preferences and sensitivities of all students involved, and will observe and support the en- forcement of the limitations on open house hours which would be established by or under— the proposed regulations, Should our proposal be adopted and these expectations not be realized, the matter of open house policy should than, in our opinion, be immediately re- considered.
