  • March 23, 1995 Western Carolinian News Is the Housing Office Considering 24-Hour Visitation? Jennifer Jackson StaffReporter Lately, there have been a lot of questions floating around the dorms about new visitation policies and coed living. The WCU Housing Office is making an effort to answer these questions by having Resident Assistants get opinions from their residents about the current living situation on campus. On February 15, the Visitation Committee, headed by L.C. Riouff, met in the Scott Blue Lobby. At the meeting, RAs along with several students discussed the idea of extending visitation hours and making Reynolds a coed, honors dorm. Also, each RA was asked to talk to their entire hall and collect student opinions on these suggestions. They would then turn in their results to the Housing Office. In Scott, many RAs held hall meetings to find out the opinions of their residents. Jody Wall, an RA in Scott, asked her residents to vote on changing the visitation hours and on making Reynolds coed. "Most students voted for extended hours, or none at all, and definitely to make Reynolds coed," Wall said. Gretchen Miles, Head Resident of Scott, commented that the Housing Office would appreciate any student input, and that residents should let their RAs know of their ideas and opinions. "I can see that no visitation hours or extended hours could cause a lot of conflicts between roommates about boyfriends," Miles said. "This would make the RAs' jobs more difficult." Debbie West, an employee in the Housing Office, said "the Housing Department just wants to get a feel for what students think about visitation hours." West also said that there will be a board meeting of the top Housing officials in the next two weeks, where the new ideas for visitation will be discussed. "If any changes do occur, they won't happen until next year," West said. She suggested that students with questions about the current visitation hours should speak with someone in student development. Dr. Glenn Stillion, Vice-Chancellor of Student Development, said, "The current visitation policy was created in 1975 in order to create an egalitarian living situation." According to Stillion, before the new policy, men residents had no visitation restrictions; however, women did. Stillion dismissed all of the talk about new visitation and a coed Reynolds by saying, "Housing is always looking for ways to improve the students' living situation. There have been no plans for change." Randy Rice cancelled an interview to discuss this topic.
