Article Misrepresented Facts About the Construction of a New Lodge at the Skiway

To the Editor: I am writing in response to Monday's article on the Skiway ("New lodge to be built at Skiway," The Dartmouth, February 2). Despite what the headline seems to suggest, the College has not approved a proposal to renovate or construct a new lodge at the Skiway. It is true, as reported in the article, that a Skiway Advisory Committee has studied the long-term needs of the Skiway and has recommended several upgrades and improvements to the Skiway that will permit it to sustain its intercollegiate and recreational programs into the next century and beyond. The proposed lodge renovation represents only one of many recommendations, none of which were mentioned in the article. The headlines suggested that the College had approved specific plans to build a new lodge at the Skiway.
