MSG To Enforce
New Open Dance Policy
D By Roy Lyn Dennis
Music Columnist
The new open dance policy for
McMurry will seek to provide protec-
tion for p'atrons as well as the proper-
ty. In a nut shell the rules for open
dances are that a uniformed security
person must be on the premises
throughout the dance. The organizers
of the dance will be responsible for
cleaning the Campus Center and Its
parking lot. Dance organizers will be
required to pay for any damage done
to the Campus Center. Two McMurry
faculty or staff chairpersons must be
in attendance and must contact Mrs.
Gilbert to confirm their attendance.
Furniture plants and games are not
to be moved. This policy does not af-
fect closed McMurry dances.
This policy is the result of two pro-
blems: 1) both ACU and Hardin-
Simmons administrations do not want
their students at the McM dances. 2)
the problems which have occurred in
the past when open dances have been
held (damage to the bathroom).
MSG has been given the respon-
sibility to see that these rules are en-
forced since they are being held direct-
ly responsible by the administration
According to Doug Drown MSG
president "Dr. Kim did not want to
have open dances but MSG sumitted
to Dr. Kim an open dance policy
which he revised and approved.
Because the administration is holding
MSG responsible. Doug adds that "he
will not hesitate to close down any
dance that is in violation of the new
policy." He also stated that he "felt it
was a good policy and that there had
been no opposition to it."
MSG is trying to work out a con-
tract with Sac security that would hire
out guards for 6.04 per hour.

dean of women about the time the
youth of the country erupted in
rebellion against many institutions

someone advice she did it so skillfully
that the visitor was often unaware who
really had solved the problem. She not
only taught psychology she applied it
every day.
She was both liberal and conser-
vative: liberal in thinking every person
was important and conservative in the
true sense believing in the basics of
Christianity and the foundations of
American freedom. To commemorate
the life of this strong magnificent
lady will be an honor and a privilege.

join with us please write to the
