Senior Smack

Discussion in the GA on April 19, 2007

We, the students of Occidental College, are appalled at the lack of dialogue between the Administration and the student body, particularly in regard to the changes in tradition, most recently, the cancellation of Senior Smack. We recognize the concerns surrounding the event, but feel that we were cheated out of an opportunity to provide insight in an issue that many students feel strongly about. This frustration is evident in the overwhelming number of students who felt compelled to sign their names to a petition circulated during the lunch hour from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm on Wednesday April 11, 2007.

 

We believe that this event will occur with or without school sponsorship, and should it be hosted off-campus, the safety issues that the Administration is concerned about are more likely to occur. The number of signatures that we were able to attain in just one hour is indicative of the interest that this issue has raised. Therefore, while we understand the Administration’s decision to cancel Senior Smack, we would like to request that the matter be revisited.
