Alternative to frats

During their February meeting the Trustees released a statement calling for a "major restructuring"of campus residential life. Even though there have been changes over the past few years, such as the creation of clusters and the introduction of the faculty master program, the Trustees concluded that "we have not succeeded in reducing the fraternity system's dominance of social life on campus; in reducing the role that alcohol plays as part of the social environment at the College; [and] in creating an integrated residential systems that breaks down the fragmentation between dormitories and fraternities/sororities." An ad hoc committee of students, faculty, alumni and administrators will report back to the Trustees in June.

But is it art? The Winter Carnival sculpture was literally one for the books. The 47-1/2-foot snowman will be listed as theworld's tallest in the next edition of the Guinness Book of World Records. Heiveighs about 183 tons, and is composed of

between ten billion and one trillion snowflakes— enough snow for three million snowballs. Some critics called the saxophone-playing sculpture a masterpiece ofmonumental art; cynics said it looked likeMrs. Butterworth smoking a pipe.
