The Loss of Student Liberties is the Real Tragedy

By Matt Cooperberg | February 18, 1999

To the Editor: The future of the Greek system is almost beside the point. What is shocking is the utterly craven approach the Trustees and the President have taken to what they surely knew would be a controversial decision. Where was the mention of eliminating the Greek system during Wright's inauguration?

Faculty Support

By John Menge | February 18, 1999

My first reaction to the Trustees' announcement last week that the Greek system as we know it is to be dismantled, is best summed up by an old New England epitaph, "I knew this would happen, but not so soon." My second reaction was that it was the right decision and that it was long overdue. I say this not because I am new to the campus and don't understand the local undergraduate social scene, nor because I harbor some latent grudge against fraternities and sororities.

By Ben Rifkin | February 17, 1999

Let's See Some Alternatives

By Christopher Boffoli | February 17, 1999

To the Editor: In your editorial of February 16th, I disagree with your characterization that I am "confused." In addition, it is hardly fair to characterize my comments as "ignorant" in light of Trustee Kate Stith-Cabranes '73 quote in an article that ran the same day which read "the complete elimination of the Greek system was not something the five principles in any way require." That is exactly what I was trying to articulate to Dave Coleman '97 in my private e-mail to him.

Changes in Student Activities Finances Announced

By Daniel M. Nelson | February 16, 1999

To The Editor: I am writing to let students and others know about some student-life initiatives following the recent vote by the Board of Trustees regarding next year's College budget, which was put forward by the senior officers of the College. The $10 per term increase in the student activities fee will make possible an annual additional allocation of approximately $100,000 to be managed by the Undergraduate Finance Committee (UFC), in consultation with the Dean of Student Life.
