Just the other day, I received mail from the University Housing. In it were the proposed changes for the coming school year. I am most interested in the proposed change of the over 21 housing. In discussing this with others on the second floor of Warren, we discovered a few fallacies with the pamphlet that we would like to challenge Housing on.

Why is it that on my floor alone there are three rooms with single occupancy? If there are as many students waiting to get in as they say why have they not doubled the occupancy of these and other similar rooms in the dorm? They have been single since the beginning of the semester. Why has the University, too, allowed the students the option of buying out a room if there are that many waiting to get in? Who are the ones that you interviewed and agreed with the changes? Everyone I have talked with seems to be against the change.

They are claiming that they are willing to listen to us, but what I gather from the Daily Egyptian is that Housing has already made up it’s mind made up. If it is so, then why do you continue to bug the students for their opinion? I do not nor would I like the decision to change the housing. Though, I could possibly find more respect for the proposal if they would quit giving us malarkey about why it should be changed. If they have hidden reasons for the change, then say so, but do not lie about it.
