Housing Regulations for Undergraduate Students

As University students you are held responsible for observance of certain specific regulations and customs governing various student activities and relationships. In the supervision of her home, your housemother has agreed to further your best interests and those of the University. Work with her for the common good of your group and the University. Chapter X of the "Code on Student Affairs" clearly states the housing regulations, and the following excerpts are taken from that booklet.

Types of Housing—Non-resident undergraduate students must reside in residence halls, cooperative houses, group houses, fraternity or sorority houses, and in approved privately operated student homes, unless they have permission from the University to reside elsewhere. Supervision and Chaperonage—Non-resident unmarried undergraduate students may not occupy living quarters in which there does not reside some mature person in general charge approved by the University.

Call at the Housing Division for late listings—Fraternities and sororities will send you full information concerning "rushing." If you have no personal contacts with the members of these houses, address the Dean of Men or Dean of Women for details of the "rushing" program. It is always wise to call at the offices of the Housing Division before beginning your survey of housing units. Up-to-date room lists are maintained throughout the renting season and particular attention is given to the personal problems of the individual student in finding a University home. Choose your campus home carefully and thoughtfully after a personal inspection and with regard to your comfort and convenience. Do not make any commitments or create any contractural obligation until you are completely satisfied with the arrangements and able to carry out your responsibilities. If you rent temporary quarters bo Mire to ,-pocii'y 1ho terms of your rental arrangement.

Duties of a Housemother—The housemother is expected to supervise the house properly, to maintain a comfortable temperature, to clean rooms and bath, to provide clean linen, to exercise due care in admitting strangers, and otherwise to look after the general well-being of the occupants of her house. Use of Utilities—Care should be exercised by student tenants to turn off lights, gas, and water when they are not in use.
