The small dining hall next to Bates is always open. We’ll put a sign up saying it’s a quiet area during late night hours. NOTE: “Burrow Bucks” are actually “Dining Dollars” and always have been. This means your semester allowance of $100 can be used upstairs as well to pay for a friend or parent’s meal if need be. Peanut area: it’s a separate space because of students with severe peanut allergies. Located next to the self-serve sandwich area. There’s also a peanut-free dining area. As of right now, it has a small sign, but we’ll get a larger one soon. If you have peanut anything, you shouldn’t sit there so there’s an uncontaminated area for severe allergy students. SuggestionsCake balls! Still working on getting them, but it’ll happenSoups during late night? Great idea! We’re trying to work out the logistics to make it happen.Lactose-free ice cream for sundae Thursday? There’s no brand that serves in bulk (we looked at the end of last semester).

If we’re paying them, it makes sense that they should have to sign a contract that says that they will do their jobsRes Life UpdateRAs aren’t the bad guys waiting to shut things down. They only come out when they are called, usually because student safety is at risk.Tips to keep parties from getting shut down:KEEP YOUR DRINKS IN CUPS | Hendrix has a pretty awesome “cups policy” to encourage students to drink responsibly.? If you have a drink, whatever it may be, keep it in an opaque cup.? Even if you’re of legal drinking age, beers and other alcoholic beverages need to be in a cup, otherwise Res Life will ask you to pour it out, in line with our school’s alcohol policies.? This is seriously as simple as pouring your beer into a solo cup.? Easy fix.2.?????? DON’T BREAK BOTTLES/DESTROY SCHOOL PROPERTY | This year, several parties have been shut down because students are throwing and smashing bottles—sometimes at people, sometimes at nobody in particular but off of second story stairwells.? Either way, don’t do it.? It has the potential to seriously injure people and it’s not considerate.? It’s also a bad idea to vandalize or destroy school property.? We all end up paying for destructive behavior.? Hendrix is our home, and we should care enough about it to keep it in good condition.3.?????? DON’T CLAIM NON-STUDENTS AS GUESTS | On a few occasions, students have claimed to know strangers to campus who were at risk of being removed from a party.? If you don’t know a person well, don’t claim them as a guest.? These strangers have stirred up trouble in the past, wandering through student apartments and stealing things.? P-Safe or Res Life removes these guests if they appear to be a threat to us.4.?????? KEEP DOORS CLOSED | If you’re hosting a party, be sure that doors to your room or apartment are closed.? If they aren’t, this invites disruptive non-Hendrix guests in.5.?????? DON’T OVERCROWD SPACES | As soon as overcrowding becomes a problem, a fire hazard is introduced.? For example, if you’re on the first floor of Martin, either enter a friend’s rooms or move outside, but don’t stand around in the halls.? When halls get congested, Res Life has to come clear things out.6.?????? TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBORS | If you’re planning a party, it’s always a good idea to give your neighbors a heads up so they can consider it when they’re planning out their weekend.?7.?????? BE RESPECTFUL | Residence Life is seriously around to look out for us.? Their responsibilities involve doing a lot of dirty work to keep our environment safe—things like hunting down sketchy non-Hendrix characters or occasionally taking a student to the hospital.? So next time you want to spit out sass at a member of Res Life (or anyone else with the school), bite that tongue.? Often times, being disrespectful will get you in a deeper hole than if you had just complied with directions.? Residence Life isn’t an enemy.8.?????? PRACTICE PEER ACCOUNTABILITY | We are a small community made up of some pretty incredible students, many of whom like to work hard, play hard.? But it just takes one person’s poor behavior to force a party to be shut down for everyone.? So next time you see someone acting disruptive, step up and say it’s not okay.? Hold yourself and our community to high standards.BONUS PRO TIP: Carry your ID with you to parties.? Occasionally Public Safety or Res Life may ask to see it to confirm that you’re a student.? You may even find it easier to just take a picture of your ID on your phone.ElectionsFiling closes today for freshman senator and all Soco repsNew BusinessAdjournment ................
