You gotta fightfor your rightto party

individual writer or any member of the faculty, staff or administration.

If there are any problems here on campus, as far as partying is concerned, they are problems created by Cabrini. The way I see it, there is nothing different about Cabrini from any other school of the same size in the region. So can someone please explain to me why our visitation hours, building rules, and alcohol restrictions seem so much stricter?

they need and want in their own dorms in regard to visitation hours, they wouldn't need to go to the apartments every night. But then again, if first-year students do continue to hang out at the apartments, so what? What does Cabrini expect? And what about the apartment residents who were supposed to have the right to have visitors whenever they wanted?

I'm sure that I'm going to catch a lot of flack from the administration for asking that question. And I wouldn't be surprised if they can actually back up their criticism with statistics and rules of other schools.

But let's face it; has any resident here had a friend come to visit Cabrini who thought that our rules and regulations weren't over the top?

Recently, I've been hearing rumors about the school instituting visitation hours in the apartment complex. These hours were supposedly aimed at keeping firstyear students out of the apartments. I asked Paul Weaver about these rumors, who told me that they were just that-rumors. However, he did tell me that there has been concern over the number and size of the parties in the apartments, and that the quiet hours are going to be more strictly enforced.

My solution? Give the kids in Xavier and Woodcrest a break. If first-year students were given the freedom

The administration needs to keep in mind that the apartments were originally touted as independent living within the campus community. No one should really be surprised that they turned into a popular party spot. I cannot and will not try to justify the damage that the apartments have suffered because of the partying that goes on there, but again, my view is supported that Cabrini essentially created a monster when they built the apartments.

Cabrini has yet to find their "happy place" in regard to housing; the same can be said for many students. So many students are unhappy with either their living space or their living conditions that campus has to be unbearable for a lot of people, both students and administration alike. In last week's issue of Loquitur, we talked about the opportunities presented to students for opening up lines of communication with new key members of the administration. Maybe it's time we tested those lines.

Janice Funk is the managing editor of Loquitur. If anyone wants to help her find her happy place, just let us know.
