Editorial: Any Questions?

Two issues ago, a comment by Dean of Students and Director of Residential Life David Tuttle caught the attention of many students, especially those active in Greek Life. Ready to defend their case, many Greeks compiled letters to the editor stating projects, club requirements and other reasons why the Greeks offer more than a headache to the University. Several responses of varying opinions were printed in last week's issue of the Trinitonian - alongside a preview for Tuttle's new column concept. The dean encouraged students and readers of the publication to send him questions about anything on their minds to which he would repond.
"Take on me," Tuttle said to the campus. Take him on they did not.
So we did. When no burning questions arrived in the Trinitonian's inbox by Tuesday night, reporters, photographers and editors started volleying around possible queries. Music taste? Boxers or briefs? Does Tuttle's hair grow in naturally full and fashionably spiked?
Though many community members may have enjoyed reading answers to the above questions, we knew that this was an opportunity we shouldn't let pass, so we posed to the dean valid concerns. How many times do you complain to your roommate about Aramark's prices, selection or quality? How many college students will inevitably have to deal with newly instated punishments for alcohol offenses? If you aren't mentally admitting that these are indeed applicable ponderings, kick yourself.
Last Wednesday, some of Trinity's major administrators stood up to take questions in a town hall sort of setting. The turnout, for being a random hour in the afternoon, was good, but here's your chance to ask a question whenever the time suits you. Flustered by registration's hassles, offended by Trinity's lack of school spirit or impassioned by the latest speech in a lecturer series? Tell it the dean. He wants to take you on.
