Hansen and the three residence directors, without
so much as a word from residents, acted as judge,
jury, prosecutor and even Legislature. The whole hall
will now be penalized because of individual actions,
yet she refuses to follow the publicized policy and act
hpiinst individual violators. She hasn't even said what
could be done to prevent another penalty being
imposed.
The University lately has gone to great lengths to
:,h: that certain standards of due process are observed
in all its actions. Hansen has violated these standards.
This she defends on the grounds that visitation is a
privilege -like cookies given to a child -and therefore
pan be rescinded at the drop of a hat.
Although I sympathize with the ambiguous
position not enforcing the open door policy leaves
Per in. her way out of the dilemma is no help at all.
f or tout years, students have been working to
change a policy recognised by nearly everyone
involved as impossible. The open door business stands
r, its most objectionable, least defensible part. Its
moral significance is nil. We more usefully could have
a ban on single rooms. Because in real life, the open
door rule mast be ignored. It contributes to general
disregard for dormitory regulations, even the
impoi tant ones. The rule has got to go.
Gio n the kind of consensus that exists about the
open ojor policy, why is it still in effect? Given the
' k;i that residents and staff have employed every
available channel, only to be shot down by the
r qenis, why does it stand?
the answer is politics, and misguided politics at
Oct No officeholder 1 1 keu to buck the kind of
hysieni ihat appeals with the ve;ry mention of a
ia ...."d pout . Students, on the other hand, can't
muster tiuit land uf hysteria. As one woman prut it at
the Smith Hall government meeting Monday night,
I'm a studeni, living here for one year. Being a
'indent is a foil time job. I simply haven't got
die time 01 the energy to turn into a crusader for this
diaiq."
Sh" was iinht. The regents and the administration
ao- te sponsible for the creation of a liveable
-iiniospheie in the halls. Students have a part, but
r ,ey will not be oiound five years hence. The regents
wVlll.
It wa the regents who accepted responsibility for
visitation whan they could have left it out of the
political arena as an administrative matter.
Cventu&lly, they must make some kind of real
decision. The problem will continue to mar campus
life, and worse, to pose a dangerous political problem
Pr the regents.
f vi'iy time it recurs, it will have the same kind of
e mtjerous quality, until it is finally solved. It seems
:o.a ihe reqetts had just as well gut it over with.
