26 Breakfast the morning after the party was kind of a community affair. Ken's friends who had stayed over night were there, eating and helping with the cooking. It wasn't like this every morning, or even every Sunday morning. During the week, it's bad enough trying to make it to Classes, let alone fixing a decent breakfast, so we don't worry about it. Parties -- they're a good time, no doubt about that. But when everybody leaves, some- body has to get to place ready for living again. That means Cleaning up. This time it wasn't so bad; everybody had been fairly clean. So we vacuumed around the place, picked up the glasses, straightened the furniture. You know, just to make it look decent for a while. The whole routine e cooking, Cleaning, paying the billseonce you're used to it it's not so bad. You're a lot Closer to real life than you would be in a dorm or in a fraternity; you meet the same hassles those guys will run into in a few years. I wouldn't say you grow up faster, that's not true, but you do have a different kind of responsibility. Some people never do adjust to it and that may be why some landlords won't rent to students and others hit you with pretty steep rents. But I think the price is worth it. Off campus you can run your own life. You can do what you

Written by Al Smith and Don Brownlee Compared to the fireworks that accompanied the last Board of Cu- rators action on housing rules e- the infamous intervisitation issue of December, 1969 - the vote of the Curators on Dec. 17, 1971, to return housing authority to the in- dividual campuses arrived almost unnoticed. The Board had come Close to ap- proving the rule change at its November meeting, but kept every- one waiting in suspense with a parliamentary maneuver. Curator Pleasant Smith wasntt present at the meeting. When the housing policy change,11nani1nously recom- mended t0 the Board by its Aca- demic Affairs Committee, came up for a vote, Curator Robert Brady asked that the proposal be tabled for one month. Bradyts motion passed, and everyone waited. AS a reporter pointed out at the press conference following the meeting, the action was unusual. Only five Curators had been present at the October meeting, and several missed the September meeting as well. As student and administrative cognizance of the returned author- ity grew, everyone asked the question, ttWhat now? No imme- diate action was forthcoming. Administrators talked in generalities. University President C. Brice Ratchford had said at the October Board meeting that ttthe thousingt problem is much larger than intervisitationf, It was this realization, most people assumed, that led the Board to give each campus back the power to make its housing rules. Dean Hutchins ventured to say that it would take ttfour to six weekst' to work a pro- posal fer ttinereasing the number
