THE staff concentrates on criticizing fraternities and sororities instead of addressing the real issue: the dismal state of social life at Harvard. While the staff more than adequately discusses the problems associated with the new groups, it almost completely ignores the fact that these new organizations are mere symptoms of a larger problem that both students and the administration must face. To be critical is fine. But to be critical without making positive suggestions for constructive change is counterproductive. Here are three positive suggestions which the staff could have made to these groups:
1. Form a coed Harvard student organization with the explicit purpose of improving campus social life. Apply for recognition from Dean of Students Archie C. Epps.
2. Translate your new organizational clout into pressure for the administration to build a student center and build it now.
3. Make a concerted effort to solicit student opinion on what other steps can be taken to effect change.
