J; :k. Not only has this Morehouse man successfully penetrated Spelmads iron curtain , but also made it past the dorm desk aide. Is this Spelman woman a Freshman secretly returning from an after hours date? Or is she wiping the mud from her tennis shoes? How about avoiding that Robocop security guard at the front gate? No, none of these excuses applies to Tracy. Sometimes we just break the rules to have a little fun. And now we find our hero gettin' busy with Arsenic. But wait, Arsenic comes on at midnight! Hmmm??? 23

Rules Were . . . One of Spelman's most strictly en- forced rules pertains to male visitation. Men are permitted on capus for person- al visits only during the hours of 6:00 pm and 12:00 am. When a male comes to our security gate, he must show some form of identification to the security guards. Upon entering the dormitory, he must page his hostess at the front desk in each dorm. The all-call paging systen lets his hostess and everyone else on her hall know that there is a visitor waiting in th elobby. As soon as the words Man on the hallli are spo- ken, everyone seems to get an urge to go to the bathroom. We all remember from freshman year that all doors must be Open at a 45 degree angle. Of course, there is no privacy. Rules were made to be broken. II. J'! l.l , I, ' .. 1'5 i'lit'lilii'u' l M aw, 1. H'. '9': tat! Irv Obviously this Morehouse man has not read the Spelman Student Handbook policy for visita- tion!

2.4 . . . MADE TO BE BROKEN Remember first semester Fresh- man year when your Resident Direc- tor at various mandatory dorm meet- ings laid down a set of rules that Spelman women adhere to? What happened to those rules? Remember that old addage which says ';Some rules were made to be broken? Spel- man women have remembered that addage generation after generation. Spelman history reminds us that at one time we had to wear skirts and gloves on campus. When Spelman- ites were given Male Visitation , it was only in the main lounges of the various dorms. Times have changed and as the years have passed, many unwritten rules were added to the Spelman tradition. The rules that we were taught were sometimes hard to take. In an attept to rebel against the system, Spelman students broke a few rules. Some got caught and were forced to deal with another Spelman tradition - probation! We did man- age however to live through Fresh- man year and complete our initiation into the Spelman Sisterhood. akWIUI' 1' :'EN R ULES8 U 12 Otclock curfew weeknights; 2 Otclock weekends.
