"To tell you the truth, most people were pretty oblivious," said Mather House Committee Chair Wendy M. Lu '00 about the decision, which Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 made formal in letters he sent to students last week.
Many students said the timing of the decision and the fact that it only affects first-year students directly has meant few upperclass students are paying heed.
"From the administration's standpoint, they timed the decision perfectly," said Samuel C. Cohen '00, co-chair of the Lowell House Committee and former vice president of the Undergraduate Council. "It's certainly not something people have been dropping everything to talk about."
But even among the circles where changes in House policy are fodder for dinner conversation, there appears to be little consensus about the change, aside from a feeling that the College should have done more to formally involve students in its decision-making process.
But according to Michael P. Abate '00, who preceded Cohen as co-chair of Lowell House Committee, the decision may not be all that bad.
