Dorm visiting hours debated
by Ann Jones
When people come to col-
lege,they are expected to be
grown up and mature about their
decisions. Yet,at TSU,a lot of
these decisions are made by the
administration. One of these deci-
sions, is how long you should let a
visitor of the opposite sex visit
you in your room.
Deans Mike Leese and Alice
Mathews were asked their opi-
nions of the letter sent to the
editor last week concerning dorm
visitation. They both stated sur-
prise that students were unhappy
about visitation hours.
An informal survey of TSU
students showed that most
students do not want set visita-
tion hours, and most male
students feel that visitation for
the womens dorms should be
longer. The letter to the editor
asked about. TSU,s visitation
hours compared to A&M,s. At
A&M the hours set for visitation
are the same for men and
women. The dorms are seperated
into groups one,two,and
three.These dorms have their
own hours and these hours are
important factors in the decision
of which dorm to live in.
Two of the dorms are otfen for
visitation from 12 noon until late
in the evening,either 8 p.m.or 12
midnight, Monday-Thursday.
Friday and Saturday, these
dorms are open from 10 a.m. until
1:30 a.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m.
until 10 p.m. The third group of
dorms does not have visitation on
Monday-Thursday. On Friday
and Saturday visitation is from
mid-afternoon until 1:30 a.m. On
Sunday visitition is in the after-
noon.
Dean Mathews stated " We
want the students to be happy."
Both Mathews and Leese ex-
pressed willingness to change
visitation hours, however, there
are no plans to change visitation
at this time.
'Alice'looks good, lacks pizzaz
The Tarleton Civic Series
brought "Alice in Wonderland"
to TSU Monday night. Per-
formed by the Dallas Theater
Center, the plqfy drew mostly
local families with young
children.
The play used one simple set
for both acts. More along the
lines of a mime, it was narrated
by Ronni Lopez, who was the
voice for Alice and a majority of
the other actors. There was
taped background music to set
the moods. The play was punc-
tuated by Spanish interpretations
and could easily be classified as
bi-lingual.
The majority of the characters
were costumed in shiny pale
green leotards and tights, topped
off with colorful hqad dresses.
The mad hatter spqrted a bright
yellow two foot hat, patch-worked
with rainbow colored
decorations.
Several times the antics of the
actors drew laughter from the
crowd. At other times the
audience's attention seemed to
lag. Several people commented
that Alice's fall through the
rabbit hole' was drawn-out and
overdone.
Some of the scenes were
confusing and I had trouble
figuring out what the green-
costumed people were supposed
to represent. The play was long
and I noticed some people left
after the first act.
The mime format was new to
me and a little foreign. Maybe
that's why I had difficulty
following it.

PARKING
Apartment owner
threatens to
have cars towed
According to the owner of An-
nex II Apartments and RJK
Apartments, TSU students going
to Wisdom Gym have been using
parking spaces reserved for
tenants of the two apartment
buildings. The apartments are
near the intersection of Vander-
bilt and Rome Streets.
The owner states that student
automobiles in the apartment
parking lots have caused tenants
to complain about their cars be-
ing blocked in or about not having
a place to park. Also, on occasion
the city trash truck is said to be
unable to collect trash because of
student cars in the way..
If students continue to park on
the privately owned lots, the
apartment owner says, they will
have their cars towed away and
impounded for illegal parking.
