Discussion at Monday night's fireside chat on the Student Life Initiative centered on the role of social organizations in determining student identity. While the original intent of the discussion was to include all social organizations, the approximately 30 students who attended focused mainly on the Coed Fraternity Sorority system. Opinions ranged from the desire to see the entire system "dissolved" to a wish for an enhanced system with the addition of more houses. Towards the end of the evening more practical concerns were raised about students' roles in the process and the timeline for when results can be expected. The discussion was hosted by College President James Wright, Dean of the College James Larimore and Trustee Richard Page '54.
Although the central theme was alcohol, discussions of Dartmouth culture and the rights of the individual dominated last night's "fireside chat." The discussion was attended by roughly thirty undergraduates as well as a handful of graduate students. The discussion was led by Dean of the College James Larimore and Provost Susan Prager, and co-facilitated by Student Response Task Force member Kevan Higgins '00.
Students can expect to learn the identity of this term's Montgomery Fellows sometime next week. According to Assistant Provost Barbara Gerstner these new fellows have already been chosen. The announcement will be made as soon as the dates of their visits are finalized.
