When Real Life Enters

To the Editor: Brent Kesler's unwillingness to take a walk from his desk to his dorm's front door for a pizza (The Dartmouth, May 15, "New Locks, New Problems") exhibits a laziness and navet that is quite worrisome. As the sister of a Dartmouth student who has been the victim of two thefts since she arrived on campus, I would hope that the entire community has gotten more mindful of public safety issues, particularly since the Zantop tragedy. Kesler bristles at the suggestion that college be anything like the "real world"(gasp!). But why is that such a radical idea? College life shelters students from many harsh realities of the world, which many us were privileged enough to enjoy for four years.
