Lodge summary: show a little respect!

Dear all,

not much this Friday, we're halfway through the maintenance fortnight before coming-up weekend. Please ensure all contractors are booked in, and do try to remember to book when they leave, as we don't want a repeat of last year's incident, when somebody pretended to be a contractor and made a home for himself in a two-room set with a balcony. He was swiftly removed, but the resulting local press coverage was picked up by the nationals then went worldwide.

Please remember to treat others with the same respect you would be expected to show members of your family. In particular, do not address women as "love" or any overfamiliar term unless that person has indicated to you that they don't have a problem with this. 

Certainly - and I'm surprised I have to make this point - do not address any Fellow or other office-holder overfamiliarly. In fact, treat all undergrads, grads, Fellows and office-holders professionally. This is especially important as regards the Fellows' campaign to combat oppression on campus this year, in which we are all expected to participate.

Yours 

Wat
