The Dorin Survey

With the emergence this week of the Dorm Survey, the Xavier Community will be forced to face, for.the first time on a large scale, the desperate situation which exists here in our college homes. Initially, the Student Life Committee which has developed, dis­ tributed, and will compile the facts of this survey should be con-. gratulated. However, the fact has rearisen that all institutions at Xavier, be they administrative or student, lack the necessary initiative to look beyond next week's or next year's budget planning, or the next election, in order to deal with the prt5blems-such as dormitory life-eating a way at the non-political or non-financial essences of ~he Xavier Community. · That such a survey exists is credit enough for those behind it, and, once again, the truth is evident that only independent, student­ initiated forces ever decide to face up to the massive problem which effects mainly the morale at Xavier among its chief assets, its students. . Idealistically, widespread benefits will evolve from a frank answer-· ing of this survey by the student, and an intelligent mature handling of its results by those in the position to affect any positive change. The survey itself, however, has to deal with such critical problems of dorm living as: the living atmosphere; the developing and maintaining of personal human relationships; and the developing of the human per­ son on a social level. It must refrain from merely gathering data for the sake of data. There can be no· doubt that a gathering of essential data for future.' positive reforms in the dorm is drastically needed. For too long pre~ sent dorm policy has been based solely on personal hearsay evidence Qbinion reported by those under policy-making administrators. A gathering of relevant facts and trends could only help to improve the output of positive reforms from such institutions as Student Development, the But the visibility of a student organiz~tion orientated toward ser­ Department of Housing, and Student Senate. vice and openly welcoming community service is sorely needed.
