to provide adequate supervision and to ensure full compliance with all applicable civil laws pertaining to the consumption of alcoholic beverages. 3. Open Houses and Visitations. An open house is a social function during which rooms in an approved housing unit are open to the public. A visitation is a social function during which the residents of an approved housing unit may invite guests, including guests of the opposite sex, into their own rooms. A reasonable policy governing open houses and visitation shall be adopted by each fraternity and sorority chapter; by the general council of each residence hall; or by students occupying each approved housing unit not a residence hall, fraternity or sorority. The policy shall provide: (a) the schedule of hours and days for visitation and open house; (b) rules for the conduct or residents and guests at various types of open houses and visitations; (c) procedures for registering guests; (d) procedures for amending and for providing exceptions; and (e) means of enforcement. NOTE: On December 12, 1969, the Board of Regents approved, on a trial basis, the implementation of this section with the following understanding as to the principle of reasonableness. A "reasonable" open house and visitation policy requires: (a) That options are provided to accommodate students who wish to live in a housing unit whose policy is substantially different from the one adopted by the majority of the students in their unit; (b) That the hours of open house or visitation are not substantially less restrictive than the norm of midnight on week nights and 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights;l (c) That parental consent is required of students under the age of 21 to continue to live in a unit which adopts a less restrictive than the above norm; and (d) That the loud use of stereos, TV's, radios and musical instruments and other unreasonable disturbances are avoided. Reasonableness relates not only to specific policy provisions, but also to the enforcement procedures adopted and their effectiveness. The primary responsibility for the enforcement of a unit's open house and visitation policy rests with the students themselves. Residence halls governmental representatives should consult with residence halls staff and work closely with them in the drafting of policies. There must be mutual agreement between the students and the residence halls staff as to the reasonableness of an individual housing unit's policy before it goes into effect. In the event of an impasse, the Dean of Students may be called upon to mediate the matter. Housing and Hours Regulations 1. Reporting Correct Address. Each student is required to report his correct address at the time of registration each semester or session. This reported address must be the student's actual place of residence.
