By Amy Oringer and Amy Orringer · Saturday, Sept. 9,2000 12:32 a.m.

It had everything one might expect to see at a typical fraternity party: good music, frat guys dressed in their finest party garb dancing with equally primped female party-goers, and very little room to move in the packed sub-terrain party room.

RPS not keeping students in mind

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Sept. 8,2000 2:12 a.m.

There is one fact everyone on this campus can attest to -- college students have erratic schedules. Yet time and time again, Residential Programs and Services has seemingly ignored this fact in its practices.

In this year's speech, which I will give at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Frangipani Room at the Indiana Memorial Union, I plan to break with that tradition.
