Early Move-In Restrictions a Rousing Success, Apparently

Remember back in the waning days of summer how hard it was for you to move in early? Your roommate was already moved in and had already claimed the better room and the better closet. The injustice! But apparently you were still barred from campus--or rather, your prox was to remain deactivated until your official move-in date, which was ungodly late!Dreams of extra freshmen week parties--and hopes of rocking out to "Party in the USA"--were dashed! All you wanted to do was to show off your extensive knowledge of danceable summer hits!Well, it turns out that the University saved a lot of money by playing bridge troll. Amy Campbell (Director, Campus Life Initiatives) and Chad Klaus (Assistant Vice President, Facilities) reported at today's CPUC meeting that the University saved $290,000 because of the new early move-in policies. Ka-ching! Klaus also said there were no alcohol transports before September 11, another reason why the University is quite pleased with the results.The pilot program was so successful, in fact, that the next phase will be regulating campus access during winter break. Students will have to register with the University if they plan to stay on campus, and all other student proxes will be deactivated for the duration of the break.
