The Dean on call already exists. Additionally, it's not technically in
the GRT's responsiblilty to be in the house whenever the Housemasters
tell them to be. It would also get tricky if a GRT is say signed up for
a time slot and has a family emergency, then they're stuck calling
around for a replacement and might be liable if none were found. There
seemed to be a lot of concern over personal liability by the HMs.
Regardless of what eventually is implemented, it will in the end need
the HMs buy-in.
