<p>That’s the irony of the Anchor House proposal. Reading what the administration hopes to accomplish, it seems that the current Odd Quad is the dorm grouping on campus that already meets those goals. A lot of diversity. Varied dorm-sponsored activities, especially of the non-kegger variety. Interaction between classes. Etc.</p>
<p>Yet, the one thing Anchor Housing is guaranteed to do is kill the Odd Quad.</p>
<p>The hope of the administration is that the Odd Quad ethos will take root in all of the anchor house groupings. The fear of the Odd Quad opponents is that the dominant social culture will marginalize them for the entire four years as they feel, rightly or wrongly, happens now in the freshmen entry system.</p>
