It seems the Administration has come up with a Commons ".6policy" which, on the surface, is just too good for us to refuse. We are to be offered-points we can use as cash, a refund on unused parts of me~al plans, longer hours in the dining halls, a professional review of Dining Service, and a sparkling new coml- puter system to keep track of our diets for us. Let's look below the surface, though. Anyone who subscribes to a Commons plan and doesn't use all of it receives a refund at the end of the year. Everyone, that. is, except the unfortunate residents of McCormick, MacGregor, Baker, and Next House, who must pay for a minimium number of points each term- minimum is here equivalent to a mere 12 or 13 meals a week for next year's freshmen. As for the East Campus inhabitants, their scrip requirement is fully as oppres- sive as the requirements of residents of Comnzons houses. Touting it as a concession to student wishes is a sham. Every word in Chancellor Gray's announcement points to a desire on the part of the administration to mandate Commons campus-wide. The original report of the Dining Committee first proposed mandatory commons as a way of supporting Corn- mons in some houses and cooking in others. Burton, New House, Bexley, Random and Senior House were to be houses where residents predominantly cooked. Yet, in Friday's announcement, these dorms are d.escribed as ones where "cooking by many of the residents would be an- ticipated." Many. Not even most. The possibility of opening a new dining hall to handle the overflow of these "cookers" sub- scribing to Commons is even considered. In fact, while three pages with tables explain the labrynthline details of the new Commons structure, the programs to support cooking appear as wishful mirages. Clearly, then, residents of the "cooking" houses will receive Stephanie Pol&c the full benefits of the plan with none of the conscription. Cur- renlt students will likewise relish the newfound freedom of com- puter points. Only the Class of '84 members choosing to live in Te dlemaof te draf Commons houses must bear the brunt of the program which everyone else will adore.
