Hello,
If you have had the chance to pick up the Tech today, you may have read
the article "Fall Planning Shifts Away from Housing." This is just
another example of the administration's continual disregard for the
opinions of the students. I have had enough, and the Institute has had
enough. Petitions, one-off emails, and isolated phone calls, are nice in
theory, but, as evidenced by today's article, they just don't work. The
only thing that we have left is to co-ordinate en masse. If you think
that the administration is doing the wrong thing regarding Orientation,
and you want to make a difference, join academy@mit.edu (blanche academy
-a yourusername), and we will get the administration's attention, or get
fined trying.
Planning will start on the list today at 6 pm, and hopefully will
result in the first "event" on Tuesday. All opinions and commitment
levels welcome, and the group will be steered by a general consensus,
but activities will surely include mass email witting and/or phone
calling and public demonstration. "When the kids are all united, they
will never be divided."
We will build _real_ community,
Chris Possinger
P.s. If you're apathetic and like the idea of living in a hotel for four
years, sorry for the spam.
