'Tm in favor of education. The policies are in place, which make the students liable for their guest." lege wants visitors here, when the college does not want visitors here, what the college's expectations are when visitors come to campus and how visitors' appearance on campus impact other people in the college's community.

• The discussion meeting, according to Bonfiglio, could perhaps lead to recommendations of possible changes in policy. It could also decide there is no need to change policy and instead work on a way of educating the students more on visitation and the responsibility that comes with their guests. junior John Mack said.

Some idea~ that were brought up were more security, a gate house officer, sign-in sheets in the houses and a strict policy enforcement. An agreement has not been made and more meetings are being set up to further the discussion.

Some students discussed how they feel the campus may be too lenient towards visitors and what they do. Those student~ gave idea on how a stricter policy is needed and possibly more security in the houses and dorms.

During the meeting the question of student judgement towards their guests was mentioned. The students were wondermg if they could trust other Cabrini students to be responsible for who they invite to campus. When the topic of responsibility was brought up, the mention of alcohol and how it influences students became the center of attention. The meeting discussed how students are good at • judging their visitors, but once under the influence of alcohol, they tend to lose the position of taking responsibility for their visitors. Another idea was to position an officer at the gate, allowing visitors with a purpose and destination to enter the campus and prohibiting uninvited or unexpected guests from entering.

"At some colleges you can't go there unless you know who you're going to visit and where they are at." junior Milena Porecca said.

Even though an agreement has not been reached, the students, Bonfiglio and Burke all agreed that something needs to be done All students are welcomed to join the task force. The next meeting will be on April I. at 12:45 p.m., in the student development
