I981-1982 Four In January Alpha Epsilon Pi sub- leased for one and a half years the house on Main Street, formerly oc- cupied by the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. Sig Ep, owners of the house had to vacate their home in the Spring Henscratch of 1981 after losing their charter fol- lowing a hazing incident. The idea of the sub-leasing stemmed from talks with the two fraternities during the national con- ference last December. Visitation Policy Revised This year showed a break in tra- dition for housing regulations as New Castle dormitory changed from the only non-visitation dorm on campus to one with a limited visitation policy. Previously referred to by some as the Nunnery , New Castle now has only one floor with non-visita- tion, allowing men to visit from noon to 2 a.m. on Saturdays and noon to 10 p.m. on Sundays. Resi- dents on the third floor were re- quired to sign a document attesting that they will uphold the new policy and report any violations. All other floors now have male visitation hours of noon to midnight Monday through Thursday and noon Friday to midnight Saturday. This limited visitation policy was formally used in Squire Hall before that dorm changed its regulations to a 24-hour visitation policy. The policy in both Squire and New Castle originated in 1970 as an alternative to the more popular 24- hour program. The change resulted as a decrease in demand for regulat- ed housing hours dropped and fe- male enrollment increased. Maintaining regulations also be- came increasingly difficult because a large number of residents were assigned to New Castle who did not want to live there. To answer some of these problems, Housing and Residence Life mailed out sum- mer surveys to all those who would be living in New Castle or Squire Halls. Students were asked to indi- cate their visitation preference. The number of women who desired the traditional policy was so small that all could be housed in one building. New Castle was chosen because it was the smaller of the two. Since the change, dorms report no room openings where previously there were vacancies. Community Days The diversity of the community at large was seen in September dur- ing the tenth annual Newark Com- munity Day. Events of the day varied from a small petting zoo, which delighted youngsters, to seemingly endless ta- bles of home-made food and crafts. The entire central campus area along the Mall was thriving with activity. Arts and crafts and dis- plays, as well as music by the New- ark Fife and Drum Coprs were among the highlights of the day. Many University organizations take part in the day by sponsoring events and displays. Even more U of D students participated by wan- dering through the mall on the Sun- day afternoon. Tilting If you thought you were seeing things, you were wrong. Yes, the right side fire escape of the Christiana East Tower does lean. But, no, it is no longer a safety hazard which almost prevented stu- dents from moving in last Septem- ber. A Falling All of the University's 150 American elm trees are falling prey to Dutch elm disease and will even- tually become extinct. The disease has been killing the trees by clogging the vascular sys- tem of the trees, and thus hindering the flow of water. This process be- gan by a fungus carried by the elm bark beetle. According to University spokes- men, the University has lost 12 trees this year to the disease. Previously And Now For Something Completely Different . . . A little bit of Monty Python's Flying Circus came to the U of D last fall in the form of writer and actor Graham Chapman. Chapman appreared on campus to help promote his new book, A Liar's Autobiography. While auto- graphing copies of the book at the bookstore, he entertained student's questions concerning intimate de- tails of his childhood, career, and of his success with Monty Python. Tower The fire escape became an issue for concern in June, 1981 when Uni- versity officials noticed that the es- cape had shifted inches away from the building. Repairs were made in August, 1981 and now the escape is attached with steel pilings at 15 inches from the building. Tradition the loss was at an average of only two per year, There is no special funding to help the dying trees since they are under the care of the grounds and maintenance department. However, steps have been taken to care for the trees through chemical treat- ments. If the disease is caught early enough, the tree can be saved thus preserving the most important element of the University's tradi- tional, tree-lined Mall. 19
