University Student Handbook

Public Disturbances

An atmosphere conducive to normal living and study must be maintained 24 hours a day on campus. As always, respect for the rights and freedoms of other students should be the basic guideline for behavior. Radios, stereos and TV sets must be played discreetly at all times. Stereo speakers are not to be played out windows. Musical instruments are not to be practiced in the residence halls. Hall sports are prohibited. Excessive noise or other public nuisances created or permitted by students are strictly prohibited. Conduct shall be deemed such a nuisance if it penetrates into the room or cluster areas of other students, faculty, or staff, unwillingly subjecting them to an unreasonable disturbance or inconvenience. Snowball fights, spraying water-guns, shaving cream battles, etc. shall be considered public disturbances and shall be handled as such.
