Consider the Following:

source: Scroll. See full picture and story in link at bottom of post.
Tempted to bring that cart home because you don't have a car? Think again. It's totally stealing! To even bring it off the Broulims parking lot is considered stealing.

There ARE fines for stealing!
If I were to turn you in for having a grocery cart here, it's up to $500! For a small basket it's $50! Just don't do it! Resist the temptation...I know you can! :)

It affects all of us!
When Broulim's has to pay for missing carts and/or go around town searching for carts in parking places, it can make the cost of groceries go up because the amount of gas and labor that goes into retrieving carts/baskets.

A story in the Scroll will give you the store director's official statement on the subject: http://www.byuicomm.net/story.php?c=1437

Pets of ANY kind are a no-no

Pets: Here is the lowdown: If you live in ANY approved housing (off campus/on campus)...pets are not allowed. {click here} for the full guidelines...I'm not making it up :)

In the past, I've allowed a small fish bowl with a fish or two in it...but where do I draw the line? I've decided it's not a good idea to bend the rules for approved housing even a little bit. You can have pets when you graduate and move away :) This means: even fish are not allowed. Please do not purchase them to have in your apartments.

Please don't try to purchase pets of any kind and hide them from me or your roommates, etc. Roommates, if someone in your apartment has a pet, let them know they are breaking their rental agreement (legal contract).

I just lastly want to say that I love animals...I'm excited to someday have a couple puppies of my own. But now is not the time and place. Please keep this in mind as you live in approved housing. You will be blessed for obedience!
Loves!

Hall Guidelines

If you're looking for Perkins Hall Guidelines, the links are listed below. I encourage you to look through each section as an apartment.

I have 3 goals for Perkins Hall tenants:
1. Increase our capacity to listen to and follow the Spirit
2. Reside in a place where we feel loved
3. Ensure that we are aware of others and our surroundings: an atmosphere of physical, emotional, and spiritual safety
I believe that all three go hand in hand. You are under contract to abide by the following guidelines. I hope that you will find joy in keeping the standards, and allow others to enjoy their experience here as well!

The Student Handbook & Housing Guidelines work together to meet these goals, and I encourage you to look through each section as an apartment.

The following Housing Guidelines are a part of your contract.
These guidelines are also campus-wide: {click here}

You are all so great! Have a fabulous day!

Modesty!

MODESTY: There are some things we have to draw the line at. Please look carefully at your clothing and compare it with the principles you've been taught in the pamphlet For the Strength of the Youth. {click here if you have questions} or you can email me if you have further questions.

Sunbathing, undressing in your apartments with the curtains/blinds open, or any kind of immodest clothing outside your apartments is not appropriate.
Please remember the following:
1. Custodial/Maintenance crews are in our courtyard and in apartments as early as 8:00 AM. Please be mindful of how you are dressed whenever you answer the door, or when your blinds are open.
2. Remember my sweet husband Joey lives here, and that many other tenants will have male guests. Most of them are Priesthood holders, and also have the right to enjoy a modest environment.

And lets be honest...we really didn't ask for a show, so don't give us one! :)

For the Strength of the Youth

Message from the First Presidency

"Our beloved young men and women, we have great confidence in you. You are choice spirits who have come forth in this day when the responsibilities and opportunities, as well as the temptations, are the greatest. You are at the beginning of your journey through this mortal life. Your Heavenly Father wants your life to be joyful and to lead you back into His presence. The decisions you make now will determine much of what will follow during your life and throughout eternity.

"Because the Lord loves you, He has given you commandments and the words of prophets to guide you on your journey. Some of the most important guidelines for your life are found in this pamphlet. We testify that these principles are true.

"We promise that as you keep these standards and live by the truths in the scriptures, you will be able to do your life’s work with greater wisdom and skill and bear trials with greater courage. You will have the help of the Holy Ghost. You will feel good about yourself and will be a positive influence in the lives of others. You will be worthy to go to the temple to receive holy ordinances. These blessings and many more can be yours.

"We pray for each of you. May you keep your minds and bodies clean from the sins of the world so you can do the great work that lies before you. We pray that you will be worthy to carry on the responsibilities of building the kingdom of God and preparing the world for the Second Coming of the Savior. -- The First Presidency"

Oops! I'm locked out!

It is your responsibility to carry your keys. For your privacy and protection, only you, your roommates, and the head resident have access to your room. The custodial crew is NOT allowed to unlock your doors.

It is always inconvenient when you are locked out, so here are some suggestions to avoid such a situation:

Take your keys with you at ALL times EVERYWHERE you go…Take them when you go to class, when you hang in the lounge, when you empty your trash in the garbage room, even when you just go next door.
Put your keys on a lanyard (or a large key chain)…This way they are harder to lose. (It costs $25 to re-key your apartment and $10 to replace the key = $35.00)
Keep your keys in a place where you won’t forget them…When I am home, I keep my keys on a hook right by my door. That way every time I lock up and leave, they are right there to remind me.
Communicate with your roommates! Before you leave find out if they are staying, going, going to lock up, etc. Don't assume that someone will be home. If you leave, your key should be with you, no exceptions.
Get to know your neighbors! If nothing else perhaps your neighbors will allow you to crash in their room.

It is absolutely unreasonable to be upset with anyone for not being available to let you in your apartment if you've locked yourself out. It may be frustrating, but it's not anyone's fault but your own if you are locked out of your apartment.

Leaving your doors unlocked is not a good solution to avoid being locked out. We have people walk through our courtyard constantly especially since we are so close to campus. Everyone reserves the right to lock their door so do not blame it on your roommate if you are locked out!

If you lost your key, please do all you can to look for it. If you still cannot find it, please email Jena at hagenj@byui.edu. She can order you a new key. Please be specific: if you lost your mail key, or your apartment key. Please don't wait too long to notify me. It is for your safety and the safety of your roommates that we re-key the apartments.
Thanks so much!
