What ta ta do to die today at a minute or two ‘till two,

A thing distinctly hard to say, but harder still to do,

‘Fore they’ll beat a tattoo at a quarter ‘till two,

With a rat-a-ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tattoo,

And the dragon will come when he hears the drum,

At a minute or two ‘till two today,

At a minute or two ‘till two.

computer access

Hi all,

You have full access to two computer labs, GAB 330 and Terrill Hall. You can also print there. There are also computers in the lobbies at your dorm; however, there are not that many so sometimes you will have to wait.

For frequently asked questions like this one, we are working on posting up some FAQs on the blog in the next few days.

Thanks,

LTC/UAEM Team

dorm rules

Please see below for a few reminders about dorm rules:

Hoping all are doing well. We are having many people wanting to room together – men and women together, and I cannot do this. First off, The university only houses those that are married, together. Sorry. I am sure last night was really exciting for them and I am sure that all will settle down now. Mozart Hall is the residence hall for summer students. These students must get up early for class. We have what we refer to as “Courtesy Hours” which means when a resident ask a neighbor to turn down a radio or TV or lower their voices, and out of courtesy they normally do.

Then we have quiet hours....from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM residents are to turn their radios and TVs down and such noise or conversations should not be heard from outside the door. This pretty well puts the groups that want to gather and visit, outside in the courtyard but even then – there has to be some control on the noise levels.

Lastly – we have quiet hours for the finals week – which is this week. The halls will exercise quiet hours from 4:00 PM to 10:00 Am for the remainder of this week.

As I said earlier, I believe most of this will work itself out but I may need your help defining the residence hall quiet hours. These are crucial this week as our student complete their 1st summer semester and are now studying for finals.

Thank you for helping me with this point. Santé Fe is a bit different– as this is a conference Hall though our courtesy hours are always in effect and quiet hours are 11PM top 8:00 AM
