These social Cleaveland, however, emphasized in a telephone (Continued on page 10) interview Sunday his feeling that "my letter was not itself a set of procedures or policies." He added, though, that if the CCC, or its successor, decided to devise a procedure based upon his approach, there is a possibility that the new policies could be put into effect by spring semester. Guidelines Cleaveland has listed in his guidelines a provision to see that the wishes of the minority in the dorm are not overlooked. He suggests that if a group of dormitory residents wants more restricting social regulations than those decided upon by the majority of residents, then a section of the dorm where a more limiting visitation policy would applv should be set aside for these students. Cleaveland commented Sunday that the same provision should also apply if the minority group consisted of students wanting a more liberal policy than that adopted by the dormitory. Cross-section According to the Cleaveland's letter, this provision allows students to stay with their living groups even if they want greater privacy than does the majority of the dormitory. Another benefit of the provision is that incoming freshmen who prefer a less liberal visitation policy can live in sections of cross-sectional residence halls where such a policy is in effect, rather than being segregated into all-freshman houses. Cleaveland also states in the letter that "special consideration should be given to freshmen students entering the University for (he first time." He suggests that these students be sent information (Continued on page 13) Page 2 The Chronicle Tuesday, September 5, 1972 Contrast mark political conventions Editor's note: This is the sights, much more and sessions, were left to patrolling the seas to first of a three part series much harder than the themselves to pass the time. prevent a foreign power comparing the Democratic Democrats did.
