An e-mail message that one rookie proctor sent to her entryway in December informing her students of "new" rules in the dorm has put her under the scrutiny of FDO administrators and her students.

The e-mail informed students that if she sees them drunk in the hall, she will ask for their I.D. and she expects them to open their door on the first knock for an inspection of their room.

These rules are of course not "new," but they illustrate the discretion with which Yard proctors can--and have attempted to--administer the College's guidelines.

Under these new policies, some students in the entryway feel that they are under a great deal of scrutiny.

"We trip in the hallway, and she's like, 'Oh, you tripped because you must be drunk,'" says one student who says she never has parties in her room.

But many students still do not take the policy seriously.

"It seems like she's all talk," says another dorm resident who says he has had parties in the past. "No one has gotten in serious trouble yet in the entryway."

The proctor declined to comment for this story.
