  • APRIL 13, 1978/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 9 U Housing 78-79 A contract to be signed by all residents on these halls has been drawn up outlining guidelines for the quiet floors. If a floor is not filled by those requesting a Quiet floor, then other students will be assigned there and it will no longer have Quiet Floor designation. Other special interests include the Phi Alpha Phi floor and the Basketball Team Floor In Leatherwood plits the already "established" halls: The Athletes (in Madison) and the Sororities (in Walker). It is the intent of University Housing that these special areas will serve to increase satisfaction in the halls as well as meet some special needs. We are open to other suggestions you may have as we plan for the future. Room, phones are 'for real' The first phase of the installation of room telephones in all nine residence halls has begun. Over the Easter r Housing housing, please notify the Housing Office. University-related conference groups are also housed during the summer. These groups reside mainly in Walker with Helder, Leatherwood, Buchanan and Madison used for overflow housing. The conferees range from grammar school children to senior citizens continuing their interest in education. Housing offers services to fit the individual needs of each conference group. For further information concerning conference housing, please notify the Housing Office or Joe Janufka (phone 722), Coordinator of Conference Housing. The Housing Office requests that all conference group sponsors update the information on their groups and submit it to the Housing Office as soon as possible. Break, workers for the Western Carolina Telephone Company began running telephone lines into student rooms in Walker Hall. Over the summer, all other halls will be wired and wall telephones will be installed in each student room. All residents will lie required to pay a semester fee to University Housing for local service; long-distance toll service will be the option of room residents, who must contract separately for this with the telephone company at the beginning of the fall semester. The semester telephone charge for local service for each resident of a double room will be approximately S28. Pizza used as a reward in Harrill Harrill Hall became the setting for a behavioral study designed to reduce noise and disruptive behavior during the winter and spring terms of 1977. The program, conducted by Donald Dixon and R. Hal Shiglcy involved the staff and entire resident population of that residence hall. Details and results, as well as the design, will be published soon in the "Journal of Applied Behavioral Analysis." Essentially, the program involved taking a measure of various categories of disruptive behavior in the initial phase without the residents' awareness that such measurement was taking place. The second phase consisted of giving a form of "feedback" to the residents to assess the effect of the resident assistants' awareness that such behavior was going on. The third and most interesting phase informing them that the hall with the least amount of incidents per week, as measured daily by the recording of the various categories of disruptive behavior, would be rewarded with a "freebee" pizza party. Other phases were conducted to establish the validity of the design. The results were dramatic. A substantial reduction in disruptive behavior took place during the "feedback" phase. But the most impressive results occurred during the "reinforcement" phase or during the period that the free pizza parties were available. Among the many positive effects that the staff and residents alike cited as a result of the program were: one, a dramatic reduction in disruptive behavior so that the resident's adjustment and comfort to group living improved; two, increased levels of communication among residents and staff; competitive halls were eager for community recognition, victory, as well as the parties themselves; three, suddenly, the focus of negative attention and peer pressure was directed toward those few residents who were chiefly responsible for depriving the rest of the hall community of reasonable living conditions AND of course, the pizza. Reports are that the trend established by the program has continued well into this year to the extent that Harrill has become, to coin a phrase, a gentleman's hall.
