Title	Emergency Meeting for No Curfews flier
Subject	Parietals
Description	This protest flyer advertised an “Emergency Meeting for No Curfews Walkout.” This meeting was designed to create clarity about the walkout that was going to occur in order to protest the strictness of the college’s parietal standards. Parietals refer to the rule on visiting privileges of the opposite sex in an individual's dormitory room. This was a highly debated issue among the Fitchburg State University campus in the 1970s. The protest for parietals began with petitioning in 1968. On March 12th, 1970 the faculty voted that their occupation does not hold a valid position in deciding the case of parietals, and that it was not appropriate for them to decide because they are not supposed to be the parents of their students. In April of 1970 the women of Herlihy housing held a sit in. As a result, later in the semester weekend parietals were allowed until midnight at Herlihy. By the fall semester of 1970, a greater liberalization of the halls occurred. In November of 1971 all halls were allowed visitation with concrete scheduling. Visitation was allowed by the opposite sex on or past midnight six out of seven days of the week. Still, students were not fully satisfied because overnight visits were still banned. In April 1973, after increased petitioning and protesting, Fitchburg State College allowed complete overnight visitation.
