But there are clearly more lenient proctors as well, he says.

"I've got friends across the Yard, you can tell that [their proctors] don't really care," he says.

The idea that some proctors prefer to handle certain incidents on their own without reporting every detail to the FDO bothers some relatively new proctors.

"I would be upset if I found out that there were [proctors not reporting alcohol incidents to the FDO], because that makes my job harder," says Casey Due, a second-year proctor in Canaday Hall. "It makes me look unnecessarily harsh...That really upsets and shocks me."

Due says she believes she would lose her job if she failed to report an incident to her assistant dean.

Certain dorms, however, are known among student for permissiveness.

"There's so much stuff going on in Thayer," one student says of Selsby's turf. "Every weekend there's an ambulance there."

But Selsby disagrees with the conclusion that some proctors are not following FDO protocol.
