Both Patzer and fellow member Bill Rinner said they did not realize the negative side to single-sex dorms and parietals when they decided to come to the University. "Frankly, I feel isolated from half the University," Patzer said. The two added that after talking to other students, they notice a spirit of cyni­ cism among many students who believe they have little power to challenge long­ standing policies on cam­ pus. But Rinner said stu­ dents should not be daunt­ ed by institutional conven­ tions. "That doesn't mean that we shouldn't at least be entitled to hope for change," he said. Currently, all 27 of the Notre Dame residence halls are single-sex dorms. Parietal hours, when stu­ dents of the opposite sex are permitted in the dorm rooms, are 9 a.m. to mid­ night Sunday through Thursday. In some resi­ dence halls, parietals are extended to 12:30 a.m. on Sundays due to later dorm Masses. On Fridays and Saturdays, parietals are 9 a.m. to 2 a.m.
