Significant and surprising errors were made in the statistics for next year’s Lawn residents (2009 — 2010 Lawn Application Statistics, 3/16/2009). I am one of the Lawn residents for next year and was surprised to see incorrect information.
A cursory glance of my own information uncovered the fact that every single one of my statistics was looked over in compiling the published data. For instance, I am in Sigma Alpha Epsilon, but you stated that one applied from my fraternity and that zero were accepted. I am the co-director of the Engineering Guide service, but the organization itself is not even present on a list that reportedly includes all organizations that have members who applied for a Lawn room.
Every statistic I inspected turned out to be incorrect. I sincerely hope that measures are taken to correct any errors and more importantly, to determine how such significant errors were made. It is troubling for myself, no doubt, but I am most upset at how this presents the particular organizations that applicants represent.
Engineering Guides for instance is not even on the list, a disservice to the members of an organization that provides an invaluable service to the Engineering School, a large part of this University.
