ORL's Graduates in Residence, Needed and Worthwhile

To the Editor: In his critique of the Graduate Associate pilot program, Ethan Ostrow '96 has some valid arguments (Graduate students not needed in dorms, The Dartmouth, November 18, 1993). I fully agree that "Dartmouth's attention is primarily fixed on the development of undergraduate life, both academic and residential." But I don't understand Ostrow's complaint that graduate students in the dorms don't further these goals.
