<p>eadad and I recently exchanged some messages about the overnight and guest restrictions at Marquette and reminiscences he had about what it was like when he was there.
I was very surprised to read in today's Marquette Tribune that there was a brief period in the 1990s when the curfews were lifted (bet you didn't know that either, eadad!)</p>

<p>As the parent of a potential member of the class of 2014, I say: Thank God they put them back!</p>
<p>Yes, the kids don’t understand how many potential headaches this saves them from. They should read stories here on CC from parents of kids at other schools.</p>

<p>I was NOT aware of that and frankly, to say I am surprised would be an understatement…</p>
<p>I was about to say that happened during a period when the BB team really stunk and make a bad joke about something to take the place of BB games in the winter…then I checked and realized it was when Kevin O’Neill was actually reviving the BB team…Oh well…better that I didn’t make light of it…</p>
<p>Sad to say that the “all or nothing” approach was routine when it came to policy making when I was there as well. It might have worked if they had limited it to certain dorms and simply enhanced the inter-visitation hours at the rest. To go from highly restricted i-v times to full overnight privileges is a pretty big jump, even for this “child of the sixties…” :)</p>
<p>I think is a smart policy. By the time they move off campus as juniors, they can make those decisions. There is not much you can do, but it will be a test to see how well we raised them.</p>
