Housing
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
nitely one day have the opportu
nity to live here.... 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.
