• 6 THE SUMMER ITHACAN .Julv 22. 1993 OPINION
~ ) .,.,,.,IL-:,, Off-campus hassle ., -, 'j_ Office of Residential Life must change policies
"Unless there is dramatic change sometime this summer and suddenly a lot of new freshmen show up, and we don't expect that, we won't be going to the list at all," Maggie McHugh-Parrish, director of residential life, told the Ithacan in the June 24 issue. McHugh-Parrish was referring to the off-campus housing waiting list, which seemed to scroll longer THE ITHACAN'S VIEW than the Bible. The majority of the students on the list seemed so pessimistic about their chances to get off that one had to wonder why they bothered to keep their name on the list. The Office of Residential Life made it extremely clear that no one ·• no one .. would be permitted off.campus status. That would have been fine if it were accurate. Sure, McHugh·Parrish said an extremely slight chance existed that a few people would be allowed off the 11st, but not 220 people. If the Residential Life office knew they were going to let more people off-campus when they let the first group off (and I don't think they did), they should have made their intentions clear early on. If they were Germany should embrace Turks unsure about granting more people off-campus status (and I don't think they were), they should have said so.
