We feel that many of the latest administrative decisions affecting students and the residential colleges have reflected a growing detachment of the administration from the realities of the college system; moreover, these policy decisions have been arbitrary, inappropriate, and not in the best interests of the students of Rice. In light of increased administration expectancies of student initiative and responsibility, we are especially called to bring these decisions to the attention of the Rice community. While we are naturally concerned with particular issues, we feel the need for a more general analysis of the current student-administration relationship. That the administration is desirous of organized student assistance in at least two important areas has been clearly demonstrated: to wit, campus safety and flood protection. We do not underestimate the importance of these topics, but rather, feel that these areas are perfect examples of the overlap of student and administrative interests, with cooperation being to the mutual benefit of all involved. We are disturbed, however, with certai® aspects of the administration's proposals in these areas. A memorandum from Mr. Berger's office, dated August 29, relating to tire safety, outlined several procedures for possible "instigation" in the colleges. Suggested were the mounting of exit placards in each room, and student organization and fire-fighting effort. Regardless of the Univeristy's liability status in such student effort (unclear, at best), the memo does not seem to acknowledge the Proctor's ruling inappropriate residential character of the buildings. Neither does the initial Proctor Sam Carrington should not have action against the two students. The officers are distribution of the memo, which was to college masters, Food and barred Larry Pirkle from attending classes said to feel they cannot work in an environment Housing, and Campus Business Manager, reflect familiarity with before his case came to trial last week. where they are not protected from assault. the role of college government in student affairs.
