By Derek Chang Staff Reporter

Sophomores and juniors at McCormick Hall have been given the option of moving to Burton Conner or MacGregor next fall due to dissatisfaction with the new dining plan. The former McCormick residents will be integrated as formal residents of their new houses, residing in non-dining com- munities that maintain the single-sex aspect of living in McCormick. These McCormick residents were given a one-time option to request a transfer to one of the two dorms because there were no plans for mandatory dining when they were freshmen, and McCormick is the only all-female dorm. McCormick transfers will have priority on the waitlist to enter Burton Nicholas Chornay—The Tech Conner and MacGregor. Transfers will be Clara S.
