Moses said that he and Dean of the College L. Fred Jewett '57 will lead this year's meetings, replacing Richard Marius, the director of the Expository Writing Program.
Under the new format, Moses said, College officials will devote approximately 10 minutes to each of the issues raised at the second meeting--including race and gender relations, alcohol, drugs and the role of the Administrative Board.
"[The meeting] will discuss briefly a whole range of topics so that freshmen know that these topics are important for us and we have clear attitudes about what is acceptable and what isn't," said Moses.
Moses said that the changed format was "not a direct response to some particular requests from a particular group or a particular set of events, but my own notion that the meeting could be made more useful to freshmen."
In its original form, the meeting was designed to "prevent confusion among freshmen about academic honesty," said Moses, adding that the program had been highly successful since its inception in the fall of 1988. "The number of cases of plagarism in the College went down immediately," he said.
