There is nothing better than a nice night of cuddling with that special someone on a bed made for one. If you’ll notice, we said cuddling — hanky panky is not a necessity.

Single beds just provide that kind of closeness a budding relationship desires, and waking up with a person’s drool and hair covering you is what can either make or break a relationship.

However, if a student on campus wishes to share a night of intimate too-close-for-comfort bonding, they must break one of the major housing rules set by the University. For those of you who don’t know, and we’re sure haven’t ever broken this rule, on weeknights your caller of the opposite sex must leave by 1 a.m. and on Friday and Saturday night they must be out by 2. We’re sorry to say it, but it is way overdue — University, quit slowing our roll.

We are adults and should have the right to have a friend who happens to be of the opposite sex stay over as long as it is cool with our roommates. They are really the only ones affected by a night of “snuggling.”

We understand it is really up to the Board of Trustees to decide whether to change this rule that has been in place before even our parents were having sleepovers in their dorm rooms. What they should realize is that the rule itself is impossible to enforce anyway, unless we want to have some sort of snuggling Gestapo.

In all honesty, it seems as if the University is being slightly hypocritical with its attitudes to “snuggling.” We, as students, have the opportunity to get three condoms a day from the Student Health Center, which is a great service that is invaluable to our health and well-being, but are we only supposed to use these condoms during the daytime?

If that is the case, then I think our “snuggling” would prove to be a little more distracting to our roommates and besides, sometimes “snuggling” isn’t fun during the day.

If the University is trying to curb some students’ desire to have pre-marital sex, then perhaps they should do away with the condom give away and propose an “abstinence is the only form of birth control” policy, because that theory has worked out great everywhere it has been implemented.

As we said earlier, we are adults and we shouldn’t have to sneak around to “snuggle” with our consenting partner. The University should stop trying to act like our parents because it is not, and we are going to “snuggle” no matter what. Although, sometimes a good afternoon “snuggle” is perfect anyway.
