Some years they succeed, and qnite frankly, many years they don't. Some years the changes are not even felt by the student body. This year, however, the changes made by the administration, both big and small, have trnly made the College a better place. Feature Films First off, the Fair Trade initiative, working closely with Greg Hopkins and the people in dining services, finally got fair trade coffee into Harris. While it seems like a minor change to caffeine addicts who pour any and all coffee down their throats, this change speaks volumes about the people in auxiliary services and their willingness to work with stndents. And the hard work of the Fair Trade initiative should not be downplayed-it is the collaboration of t ese two groups that allowed for this change to occur.
The addition of freshmen seminars to the conrse catalogne greatly enhances the classroom experience for first- year students. It allows freshmen to dive into college with something greater than a IOO-level survey course and it's a great way for them to get to know their classmates and professors in an intimate setting.
This year's housing lottery has, without a doubt, been the smoothest execution of the event in recent memory. 'While the class of '06 remembers the trauma and drama of waiting in line (althongh line is an overly complimenta- ry way of describing the mess in '03 and '04) for literally hours with no idea of how long the night wonld last, this year's lottery involved at most a fifteen or twenty minute wait for students who showed up on time. Not only that, but the residential life staff made it easier for students to move in groups and to apply for specialty housing. The s~ess of lottery may not be entirely gone, but it is certainly minimized.
The new security cameras in Main Street have also already proven their worth. The cameras caught vandals being destructive in the Plex, taking the burden of repair costs off residents who are not at fault for dorm damages. Hopefully, as vandals are dealt with by J-board, the message will reach other destructive students that cansing trou- ole in Main Street is definitely a mistake.
Look out for more positive changes in the months to come: renovations to the Old Plex, a more efficient CamelVanschednle, and the extremely useful Self Service section of Camelweb. Recent feature films now available in the Shain Library.
