As a member of the Greek Life Steering Committee, I am deeply disturbed by the new policies announced by the Office of Residential Life last Friday, but I probably should not be. After all, the administration has a horrible track record of operating in good faith. I guess I was either stupid or nave to believe that this would change when they said they were forming the GLSC to give students a role in implementing the Student Life Initiative. As the process went along, signs began to appear that demonstrated that they were less concerned with what we, as students, wanted our vision of the future of Dartmouth social life to be, instead it appeared that the report would reflect what the administration wanted to implement. Throughout the process, items appeared in the drafts of the report that the committee had not approved. I know a few of us spent a considerable amount of time discussing specific issues with Dean Barnhardt, and we expected some version of the report to appear in May. I still have not seen a final draft of the report, a month and a half after the supposed "deadline" for all our comments to be in. As time went on, I began to become concerned that the delay meant that administrators had problems with the work of the committee and that new proposals would "appear" in the report when it was finally released. The actions of ORL on Friday convince me that this is the case.

The problems with the luau party protests were very well explained by Chris Relyea ' 01 and Mark Hill '00 in their Tuesday editorials.However, what bothers me most is the totally gutless reaction of Alpha Chi Alpha fraternity, Delta Delta Delta sorority, and the Coed Fraternity Sorority Council. While most of their respective membership -- and the campus for that matter -- disagreed with the protests of Omar Rashid '00 and Aaron Akamu '01, these organizations completely gave in to the protesters and conceded the party was indeed offensive.
