Three members of 1835 Hinman’s newly elected executive board resigned and are moving to Foster-Walker Complex next year because of a mix up with the board’s housing priority numbers.

The students were given normal housing numbers instead of the senior priority numbers that dorm government members are supposed to receive to guarantee them a spot in their hall, Undergraduate Housing officials said Monday.

Mark D’Arienzo, the associate director of Undergraduate Housing, said the officers didn’t receive their regular housing status because this year’s executive board members never sent the required list of new executive members to the housing office.

Members of the new executive board said Sunday that a list of their names was e-mailed late to the housing office, and they have a document to confirm it.

“As officers they’ve been assured by me that they’d (still) be living in 1835 Hinman” despite the confusion, D’Arienzo said.

But the executive board was not guaranteed the suite they wanted. As a result the three female members of the board — the dorm’s two social chairs and the treasurer — selected rooms in Foster-Walker.

“The (three) girls planned on living in the same suite,” said Vishal Patel, vice president of 1835 Hinman and a Weinberg junior. “The girls quit because we weren’t ensured of choosing the rooms on our terms.”

The resigning officers declined to comment.

D’Arienzo said he has given the rest of executive board members different options for their housing assignment.

The remaining executive board members — the dorm’s president, vice president and secretary — will have a meeting with D’Arienzo after the housing assignment process to sort things out, Patel said.

“Our entire dorm government has gone over there to talk to (D’Arienzo),” Patel said. “We feel as if we’ve sort of been shafted by the whole process. There’s sort of an equality problem here.”

Patel said he and the executive board have been contacting a number of housing and residential life officials, but Patel said he thinks the officials have not been helpful.

“I feel like housing has given us the cold shoulder at every turn,” he said.

The rest of the executive board was planning to move out, but now they feel there aren’t enough housing options left for them outside of 1835 Hinman, Patel said.

Michelle Sandler, an outgoing social chair and Education junior, said most of the former executive board members were able to live in a suite this year.

“The reason a lot of people are on dorm government is to get good rooms and live with friends,” Sandler said.

Sandler added that she thought it was reasonable for the resigning members to want to live with each other and that they have “no responsibility” to live in 1835 Hinman.

But the former vice president of the building, Abby Schneider, said leaving the dorm was not justified.

“I can understand why they would be concerned about living with their friends,” Schneider said, “but I don’t know if that gives them the right to just abandon dorm government. It doesn’t put the dorm in a good place next year.”

Matthew Schatz, a Communication freshman who lives in 1835 Hinman, said having rooms in different suites wouldn’t have affected the women.

“The difference from one room to the next is basically the distance from the bathroom and the dining hall,” Schatz said. “No matter where their rooms are in Hinman, we have stairs and they have legs.”
