At JHU 2007 Session 1, some parents complained that the students didn't have a full day of class on the last thursday. So, the CTY staff decided to add an additional study hall from 3:15 to 5:15 on the last thursday i place of activities. They failed to mention this adjustment to the teachers until they had made all their lesson plans, so most classes ended up watching a vaguely class related movie. This policy carried over to second session as well. | At JHU 2007 Session 1, some parents complained that the students didn't have a full day of class on the last thursday.

2005.1 -- Prank Calls
At JHU Session 1 2005 there was this doofus who was prank calling Clark AMR 2 dorm at 2 am... pretending to be the pizza guy, insurance company, et cetera. Two roommates pretended to be KGB operatives to the prank callers and the calls ended.
2006.1, 2006.2 -- Cross-Dressing Deemed Offensive
At JHU 2006 Session 1 and 2, cross dressing day was cancelled by the administration because it was alledgedly "offensive" to "real cross-dressers" and homosexuals. A few CTYers attempted to cross dress, but were sent back into their dorms during breakfast to change. Despite the ethics class' attempt to reschedule crossdressing day on a later date through a petition and the administration's supposed consent, no cross dressing day ever took place. This has been called a CTY SIN.
2006.1 -- Alcohol Found in Boys' Dorms
At JHU 2006 Session 1, over $1000 worth of empty alcoholic drink bottles were found above the ceiling tiles. The alcohol was apparently left over from previous residents. Although nobody was responsible for this, the dorms were still searched.
Max Koren's update: I was there session 2 in 2005, and saw the bottles there because I was hiding someone's shoes in the ceiling. I guess I didn't care because I didn't tell anyone. Not on purpose, I just didn't think it was very important or whatever.
2007.1--Additional Study Hall Added
At JHU 2007 Session 1, some parents complained that the students didn't have a full day of class on the last thursday. So, the CTY staff decided to add an additional study hall from 3:15 to 5:15 on the last thursday i place of activities. They failed to mention this adjustment to the teachers until they had made all their lesson plans, so most classes ended up watching a vaguely class related movie. This policy carried over to second session as well.
Elliah's update: Oh yes, I remember this. We (crafting the essay C) watched the Princess Bride as our T.A (Leigh, LT for Carlisle kids) just yelled at the admins on the phone. They shortened the dance as well, that's important to note. The dance was only 2 hours rather than 2 hours 45 min.
2007.2--No More Sleepovers
At JHU 2007 Session 2, sleepovers were banned due to conflicting policies. JHU policy bans moving mattresses, while CTY policy bans students from sleeping on anything but their own mattress. People slept over anyways.
