Quincy Refuses To Feed Frosh

Freshman displeased; residents say overcrowding was a serious problem

Adam E. Sandel ’08 of Wigglesworth said he thought that it would take strict enforcement to keep freshmen away for good.

“It’s just going to turn out like Adams house,” Sandel said. “Freshmen are going to find a way to sneak in.”

Margaret C.D. Barusch ’06, who often meets with freshmen in her on-campus organizations, said that this new restriction will make it harder for her to call meetings with her groups, adding that it was important to have places where freshmen could meet upperclassmen without “trekking to another planet.”

Many alternative suggestions have been considered, including relaxing of dining restrictions on Houses nearby to spread out the crowds.

The prospect of only allowing freshmen in the Union Dorms—Greenough, Hurlbut, and Pennypacker—to eat at Quincy has also been raised.

Kirshner said he plans to meet with Quincy residents in a month to discuss possible changes or amendments to the restrictions.
