(Re) Building Blocks

Maloney agrees that SAC could be a good place for the campaign to start. But she also thinks it might be necessary to follow Rampell's advice and go over the heads of the College administration.

But getting the administration to agree to a compromise may be harder than Seton and Maloney think.

Associate Dean of the College for Human Resources and the House System Thomas A. Dingman '67 says House masters are solidly behind the change.

Large blocking groups, many said, discourage sophomores from becoming fully integrated into their new Houses.

And the maximum number of 16 is very close to the number of students that can be housed in one entryway, meaning that many blocking groups needed to be split up within the Houses.

"[Sophomores] started out somewhat sour that they weren't living near each other," Dingman says.
