IN LOCO PARENTIS #1 Alcohol, drugs, fireworks, explosives, weapons,

etc. are out Hazing and bullying are out Messing with fire alarms, elevators, etc., or

pranking 9/11 will cost you a ton of money You break it, you buy it Keep your doors shut and locked, and do not

leave personal property unattended in a classroom or lounge

Report any problems/concerns IMMEDIATELY to a staff member—our job is to fix things

Work to make sure that our environment is comfortable for everyone

Dorm check @ 11p, lights-out @ midnight

IN LOCO PARENTIS #2 Keep noise to a reasonable level—headphones Do not prop open If you lose a meal card ($5+), lanyard ($5+), or key

($95+), you are responsible for replacement costs You MUST keep your door open if someone other than

you or your roommate is in the room Pick up after yourself, especially in the common areas Fire—no candles, halogen lamps, etc. You cannot leave campus unless you a) are going

home (must check-out) or b) are on a supervised trip with a staff member—Jimmy John’s is on campus. Davanni’s, Starbucks, etc. are not

Poker (and other group games) are not mandatory, but are strongly recommended

IN LOCO PARENTIS #3 Unless informed otherwise, all meals are in the

Christensen Center’s cafeteria on the 2nd floor Everything good except Jimmy John’s is “off

campus” If you need to leave for any reason, you MUST

check out with a staff member Cell phone reception in the basement of Foss

sucks—make sure your parents know this, so they do not assume you have disappeared when you do not answer right away

You can find evidence, facebook, and torrents on “the internet.” You were given a password at registration. Please don’t lose it

IN LOCO PARENTIS #4 Be on time. Camp cannot run if you are not

on time—feel like inconveniencing 120 people? Don’t do it.
