Opposite Sex
Dorm Visits
Called Helpful
BALTIMORE University of
Maryland students and ad
ministrators asked the Board of
Regents to allow dormitory
residents to receive visitors of the
opposite sex without restriction.
They said, among other things,
that it would improve grades.
And destroy “sexiest”
stereotypes.
And encourage more studying
And it’s being done anyway.
Moreover, one coed told the
disbelieving regents, Lefty
Driesell, the school’s no-non
sense basketball coach, “en
courages” his players to live in
one of the College Park campus’
two coed dorms.
“I’m certain he would not send
them to a place -vhere they would
be morally or physically harm
ed,” Connie Otradovec, an
officer of the Residence Hall
Association, told the Regents.
Driesell, whose current team
became the first since 1965-66 to
finish over the .500 mark, said
later in a telephone interview
that he would like his players to
live in the coed dorm because,
“It’s the cleanest on campus”
and because there’s “less horse
play there.”
IN THE COED dorms, men and
women students room on either
different floors or in different
wings of the building.
The university released the
findings of a poll in which parents
were asked their views about
dormitory visiting of members of
the opposite sex. Of the 458 who
responded, 423 said their son or
daughter “can act as a mature
and responsible adult.”
That being said, a whopping
majority 367 to 70 said they
do not favor “extending the in
tervisitation hours to 24 hours.”
There was much more support,
however, for allowing the
students to decide the matter for
themselves.
Only about 8,000 of the College
Park campus’ 30,000 students
live in the dormitories. The
remainder either commute from
home, live in fraternity or
sorority houses or take nearby
apartments.
DESPITE SOME charges from
off-campus critics that an
abandonment of the rules would
lead to increased cohabitation,
university administrators told
the regents that the students
could be trusted and that the time
has come for a change.
“The university cannot play
the role of a parent,” said
Charles E. Bishop, the chancellor
of the College Park campus. “I do
not expect the University of
North Carolina to be the parent of
my daughter. I have been doing
that for 20 years. I have every
confidence in the young lady.”
Bishop was seconded by Philip
Kapneck, an unsalaried assistant
to Gov. Marvin Mandel. Kap
neck, who has been watching the
university for Mandel, said the
students should determine their
own regulations.
He supported an ad
ministration-student plan
proposing that each dormitory
set its own rules by secret ballot.
The only witness to testify
against the proposed plan, H. V.
Pelton, a parent, said a change in
the rules would lead to “social
and moral deterioration.” He
said the present hours were more
than generous.
The Regents, many of whom
seemed to oppose the idea, took
no action. One said afterward
that any change in the rules
would probably come after the
end of the current semester.

LIFE
IS AN ASPIRATION. Its mission is
to strive after perfection, which is
self-realization. The ideal most not
be lowered because of our
weaknesses or imperfections. I am
painfully conscious of both in me.
The silent cry goes out to truth to
help me to remove these weaknesses
and imperfections of mine.
