That’s not true anymore,” Dawgert said. Housing Director Gene Luna said he doesn’t think the Horseshoe will be completely filled by honors students in the fall based on the number of sophomores who have lived on campus in previous years. Sederberg said non-honors students shouldn’t feel they are losing priority in housing. “We now have South Quad and East Quad as the best housing on campus; so, the top end of the housing market is no longer the Horseshoe,” he said. “That’s why we’re trying this now.” Community or division? Dawgert, an honors fourth year computer science student, said he and most RHA members strongly disapproved of the housing change. “They’re essentially throwing people out who can’t get a 1300 on their SATs,” Dawgert said. Luna said Housing has been working with the SCHC on im proving housing since 1994. “There has always been the in tention to make the Horseshoe an honors community,” he said. “We’ve been positioning our selves for this move for years.” Honors sophomores were once allowed to live on the Horseshoe because there weren’t enough to make the Honors College population ex ceed its 70-percent limit. Four years ago, a student initiative allowed honors sophomores to live together in Capstone, ac cording to Sederberg. Sederberg said the growing Honors College population com bined with the growing numbers of non-honors residents going to South Quad, East Quad or non campus housing helped prompt the initiative to create an Honors community on the Horseshoe. “Pretty soon, the new Greek housing will open, and the Horseshoe will be bumped ^o third place on the housing lad der,” Sederberg said. Dawgert said the new policy will create less ofh community for the entire university and cause more of a division between honors and non-honors students. “I think this will make the students dislike the Honors College,” Dawgert said. “We’re already seen as coddled by the administration in every way.” Dawgert added that placing honors sophomores in Capstone promotes more social develop ment and cohesiveness, while the Horseshoe apartments don’t offer enough restrictions. Sederberg said Capstone hous ing was always a “second-best solution” for the Honors College. Non-honors options Winners of the Housing Department’s Winning Wednes days contest will still have first choice in campus housing. Also, ■handicapped students will have precedence in picking rooms that are designed for their needs. First-year political science and history student Justin Simmons is one of many rising honors sopho mores expecting a Horseshoe apartmentnext year. “I support the change, but I still see both sides of the issue,” Simmons said. “But... you have West Quad and Greek housing coming down the road; so, there might not be that many juniors and seniors displaced.” Maria Swinton, a third-year sociology student and resident of Thorn well, said she strongly disagrees with the housing change. She said it’s not fair for non-honors students like her to be left without the apartment housing.” Maybe some students will want to go to South Quad or East Quad, but there is already enough of a sense of community among Honors College students on the Horseshoe,” Swinton said. According to Dawgert, the only way this decision can be reversed is if most rising honors sopho mores turn down Horseshoe apart ments. He said that’s unlikely. Controversial decision Dawgert said Sederberg didn’t consult with students other than rising honors sophomores when campaigning for'this policy change. He said Sederberg nev er talked with the RHA about it. Luna said the decision could be seen as a community effort be tween the Housing Department and the Honors College. He said the Housing Department specifi cally waited until housing such as East Quad and South Quad was available before deciding to con solidate Honors College housing. Sederberg said this initiative would be considered an experi ment for a year then analyzed on its ability to achieve its goal of creating an honors communi ty. “We can’t really know if this will work until we try it,” he said. The Honors College housing sign-up deadline for next se mester is March 19. The dead line for most other students is March 25-31.
