Residents Indicate They’d Prefer a Quieter Missouri Hall
As you may have heard, we’ll be taking a strong look at noise in Missouri Hall and
how we can make it a more peaceful place for everyone. Back in November, everyone had a chance to take a survey, and 250 of you did. We just got back the data,
and one of the areas marked for improvement was noise in the building.
January 30, 2013
People indicated that MO is too loud and that a quieter hall could help them sleep and
study better. So we all need to work on that. One thing you should know is that
staff is keeping track of rooms they warn for small quiet hours violations and documenting larger situations. People or areas with three warnings, as well as people in
large noise situations, will face conduct meetings regarding their behavior.
We can all work on being more respectful of everyone and minding our noise at night
in all parts of the building.
Share Your Ideas and Concerns on Noise Over Dinner
We’d like to tailor the response to noise to address the actual issues impacting residents the most. What are the big issues, and what is the best fix? Swing by Zac’s
apartment for dinner one night with your friends to share your ideas.
We’re serious. You and your friends can sign up a for a free spaghetti dinner over at
Zac’s apartment here in MO Hall and talk about what noise issues most impact you.
To sign up for dinner, use our Google form linked from the Missouri Hall website,
http://missouri.truman.edu. Hope you can drop by!
We each can, and must, do our part to make
MO a quieter place to study and sleep.

Don’t Use Deadbolt, Magnets to Prop Open Doors
A lot of people have been using magnets and deadbolts to
prop doors open. As a reminder, this is a violation of campus
policy, can damage the door/frame, and could jeopardize
your safety. To prop your door open, use a door stop, and
make sure your room is securely locked when no one is there
or you are asleep. All infractions are referred to the conduct
board.
