No One likes Quiet Hours

         Today, on November 8th, on the West Side of campus of Bridgewater State University, students suffer under cold and rainy conditions and hard gusts of wind that torture them when they travel from class to class. The brutal weather causes for a mass of students to stay inside their dorms. Similar brutal conditions have been recorded on October 28 and the 29th. According to the Bridgewater State University home page, school has been cancelled due to harsh conditions. Hurricane Sandy was a hurricane that rose from the Caribbean up to the northeast portion of United States of America; a category 1 storm but, yet still it was recorded as one of the largest storms that the first thirteen colonies of America has ever seen. 
           Whether or not it is a nationwide emergency, a holiday, or a vacation, the Woodward Hall bulletin board states that quiet time hours end at 8pm on weekdays and 11 pm on the weekends, but some students seem to disagree. For example, Josh Bryant in room 11 says, "it is not fair that weekday quiet time hours still account even when school is cancelled, like on cancelled days quiet hours should extend to 11pm." To further alliterate, he tries to explain to us that, when classes are cancelled quiet hours should be slightly extended, possibly to the weekend hours.
       The Woodward Residential Assistant says, having quiet hours is a form of discipline and it is fairly simple. Weekdays are at 8pm, and weekends are at 11pm. The Bridgewater State University catalog says, " quiet hours have been established to ensure that students can sleep and study during evening hours." Bridgewater makes an effort to explain that noise can quickly become an issue and fairness amongst close nieghbors or roommates should be equally distributed.
       "Are people even doing there work on cancelled days," concluded Frander Baez. He pushes to explain that since classes are cancelled spontaneously, students should have already been prepared to go to class with all their work done in the first place. Should Bridgewater change there quiet hour regulations?
