TO THE EDITORS

In the January 24 Crimson, Michael P. Berry, the director of Harvard Dining Services, encouraged first-year students to eat at "the more distant houses" during inter-session because "[i]t will be a good experience for them to shop around a bit."

I am quite surprised that apparently no one in the Harvard administration has informed Berry--a guest member of the Committee on House Life--that the class of 1999 will be fully randomized.
