To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The question of the allotment of the Senior dormitories has been the cause of much discussion among the members of the Junior class and the proposed plan has met with some opposition. The officers of the class have devised a scheme by means of which men wishing to room in the Senior dormitories may apply in groups of 14, this number being just sufficient to fill an entry. This arrangement affords a splendid opportunity for groups of friends to live together. The men who have formulated this plan realize, however, that it is not possible for the entire class to break up into groups of 14, and have therefore made arrangements whereby groups of eight, four and even two men, may be assigned rooms in the dormitories. All this is perfectly satisfactory to the members of the class, but there is one point which has created considerable dissatisfaction, and that is the method by means of which the rooms are to be allotted. The following statement was made by one of the speakers at the Junior meeting held in the Union, Tuesday evening: "It seems only fair that in allotting rooms in the dormitories, the men applying in groups of 14 should have preference." So far as I am concerned, I cannot see why groups of 14 should be favored any more than groups of two. It is well known to all those wishing to room in the Senior dormitories that some have better accommodations than others. If the present plan is carried out, it means that the best building will be allotted to the men who apply in groups of 14 and the remainder of the class will have to be satisfied with the inferior accommodations found in the other buildings. In order to assure every member of the class having an equal chance of getting into the most desirable dormitory, I would suggest that one entry in each building be set aside for those men wishing to apply in groups of 14, and that the rooms in the other entries be drawn for in the usual manner. After all, the object of having the Senior dormitories is to develop class unity. A. M. VAN RENSSELAER '11.
