Welcome to Beth tine College Residence
We would like to welcome freshmen and returning students to our residence. We hope that this year will be as good if not better than the last. We have made some' renovations to the building that we think you will really enjoy, including a new lounge with four pool tables, and three foosball tables. This lounge will be open from 10 a.m. until 11 p.m. and will be supported by a cafe that will offer a wide range of beverages and snacks for your pleasure.
For all of us to have a fun and safe year it is important to set up some ground rules for your behavior. It is very important to note that breaking these rules can result in suspension of privileges, eviction from the residence, and possibly expulsion from school. In addition, you are responsible for the action of any guest that you bring into the residence. This means that upon entry and exit, any guest that you wish to stay with you MUST sign in and out. The maximum number of guests per person is two. With this in mind these are the cardinal rules:
1. Drinking in the common spaces, i.e. outside of your room is prohibited.
2. Illegal drugs of any kind are banned.
3. Violence of any kind is prohibited.
4. Damage to the property is not tolerated.
5. Smoking inside the building is not allowed.
6. Noise in the hallways after 10 p.m. is prohibited.
We hope that these main rules will help everyone have a safe and educational year in Bethune Residence.
For further details of the rules and by-laws of the residence refer to your student handbook, and if you have any questions please ask the Resident Tutor, Doug McCain.

Dear Mr. Camber:
This letter is being sent to formally inform you that you are being summoned to the residence committee meeting this Friday, November 6, The actions of your guests on the night of October 31 were not in line with our rules, and you, as stated in our welcome flier, are responsible for their actions.
Allegedly, your guests were involved in drinking and fighting in the hallways of the 12th floor at 1 o'clock in the morning. Upon arrival of the resident counselor they were disrespectful and were shoving her around. This is completely unacceptable and requires us to take action. You will have to join this meeting on the 11th floor of Passy Hall with the Resident Board of Directors and committee. They will decide your ultimate fate.
Doug McCain
Resident Tutor
