R. HAYNES Staff writer Dueling visitation policy proposals have triggered ivjpunovj uuin iwoiuuitt liaiid anu MUUC11L VI ?cU11Z.cU1UI1!>. A flexible visitation proposal created by the Ecology Committee is countering Rep. Mike Fair's push for no opposite-sex visitation on campus. "It's an excellent compromise to visitation," said Residence Hall Association President Michele Lefeld. RHA is in support of the Ecology Committee's plan because it's the only option to no visitation," Lefeld said. "It allows for a wide range of visitation which we do not have now," Lefeld said. The report considers all sides, she said. The Ecology Committee proposal alleviates problems of privacy and security, she said. The RHA is conducting a letter-writing drive in order to express student opinion on visitation, Lefeld said. The letters will be sent to the Board of Trustees to view before the April 13 meeting, she said. RHA is also planning to conduct a petition drive today and tomorrow in front of Russell House, Lefeld said. In addition, stickers will be distributed by RHA in support Russell Hon By CAREN CAMPBELL tion Staff writer work Russell House will begin charging a user fee May roon 8 for student organizations that charge admission $300 to functions in the student union, the Russell secti< House director said.

The report could be the first step in campus-wide, no opposite-sex overnight visitation, so it is important that students back their government and not allow such things to happen, Lefeld said. "I feel that the policy change from the perspective of Mike Fair is not fair at all," said Derrick Meggie, Columbia Hall government president. i ne rcoiogy Committee was set up for the sole purpose of devising a visitation plan, and one man's opinion shouldn't supercede their efforts, said Meggie, an international studies senior. The issue of overnight opposite-sex visitation has been exploited because students have major concerns with education and financing their way through school, Meggie said. "I wish he would put the same effort he put forth on trying to change the dorm policy toward something constructive such as lowering tuition," Meggie said.
