I know this will come as a shock to our younger readers, but there was a time when men and women lived in separate dorms. A guy entering a women’s dorm to pick up a gal to take her to the malt shop was carefully controlled and watched. No sex was allowed AT ALL! Astonishing, but true!

There are lots of things roommates fight over

The Office of Residential Life and Learning (ResLife) has added a new stipulation to its guest policy that prohibits any sex act in a dorm room while one’s roommate is present. The stipulation further states that any sexual activity in the room should not interfere with a roommate’s privacy, study habits or sleep.

ResLife’s Assistant Director for Community and Judicial Affairs Carrie Ales-Rich explained that the change comes as a result of an annual review of residential policies that examines the previous year’s trends.

“We want to make perfectly clear that we do not want to hinder someone from engaging in any personal or private activity,” she said. “But when it becomes uncomfortable for the roommate, we want to have something in place that empowers the residents to have a good conversation with the roommate.”

    When was this… around the time of the Puritans? This was not the 90s or beyond. As for a guy and gal shacking up that is a bit new.

    I, however, am all about change. We need more of this change. This is change I can believe in! What would be even better is if I could have two female roommates to my one maleness. It probably wouldn’t hurt if they were a bit curious with each other as well. Nothing like filming porn movies from my dorm room.

    It is to bad I graduated a while ago. Oh, well.

    Probably why when I went to college my roomies were always pissed at me. They tried that I would pull out the vhs camcorder and randomly drop tapes around the labs. I usually lost the room mate quickly and got the room to myself. Then again I didn’t go to college to drink or have fun. I was spending way too much money to not learn while I was there and wanted out as quickly as possible.

    Reminds me of when I had a ground floor apartment and the young couple above me was banging the bed and other furniture, along with lassie howls. It’s really not amusing when you’re lying in bed alone at night. They had staying power too, hour or more. I tried to get to sleep during cigarette breaks.
