To the editors:
I am in total agreement with the Adams House students who feel that our dining hall is being used as a better, more beautiful Loker Commons by students from other Houses and freshmen. Because of our location and the reputation of our kitchen (and because we are one of the few Houses that retains some distinctiveness of character), Adams has always attracted more interhouse diners than most other Houses.
By attempting to restrict this, it is not our intention to be unfriendly, but it is obviously frustrating for our students to have to fight their way through crowds to find a seat in their own dining hall. The dining halls are places to eat, but they used to be places to build community as well. Randomization has clearly made the situation worse. The administration obviously prefers the appearance of diverse communities on paper than in everyday reality. Nov. 19, 1998 The writer is master of Adams House.
