To the Editor: Janos Marton '04's observation ("Parkhurst: More of the Same," The Dartmouth, September 30) regarding the College springing social policy on the student body during the summer months, when enrollments (and thus reactions) are at their smallest and Greek leadership is least experienced, reminded me of the summer of 1999.
