Chastity is Fornication
Siena College, one of the other small colleges in the area, has decided to party like it's 1959:
The Loudonville school is instituting a ban on opposite-sex dorm room visits after 1 a.m. during the week and 2 a.m. on weekends.
[...]"We wanted to emphasize the nature of being a Franciscan and Catholic college," [VP Maryellen] Gilroy said. The policy, which is meant to enforce individual rights and promote respect, falls squarely within Siena's tenets, Gilroy said.

Predictably, the students contacted for the piece aren't too happy about this. But that's not a problem, as the school has sewed up the backing of a much more influential community:
For every student miffed at the new policy, though, Gilroy said there's another applauding it.
"I've probably got an equal number of e-mails saying 'Bravo to Siena,' " she said.
As long as the lurkers support you in email, you can't go wrong...
