New meal plan is completely bogus
Dye statement is reckless
To the Editor:
If O.C. President Nancy Dye has any knowledge of rooming house owners who are "totally reckless about safety" (The Oberlin Review, 28 February 1998), or, even partially reckless, then it behooves the President, in her role as chief protector of student life and limb, to specify who and where these menaces are: what names, what addresses. O.C. President Nancy Dye is especially behooved to identify any and all reckless landlords or ladies who are faculty or staff members. The prompt revelation of such knowledge will be welcomed by all those who are truly interested in the safety and welfare of off-campus tenants. In the first rank of welcome will be the landlords who operate their rental properties in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
If the President of Oberlin College lacks well-founded knowledge of landlord recklessness, then her statement is itself reckless, and irresponsible, and damaging.
