Reply #6: I remember visiting my brother at college in the early '70s

[MorningGlow]

He lived in a high-rise dorm, and the rule was that no females were allowed on any upper floor--they had to wait in the lobby and the boys would come down to visit with them. So my mom, aunt, and I had to stay in the lobby while my dad and uncle went up to his room.

Trouble was, as we sat in the lobby, we watched a steady parade of "sweet young thangs" going into and coming out of the elevators. Apparently enforcement wasn't the college's strong suit. But my mom never did go up to her son's dorm room--just in case security decided to throw the book at her for being female. I think we finally (and with great trepidation) dared to break the rule when we went there for his graduation. I just remember the hallway smelling like dirty socks.
