Mounting student angst with, and contempt for, J Street culminated in the passage of a bill in the Student Association Senate that could lead to a one-day boycott of the Aramark-run establishment on March 7. Offering a number of steps - including specific meetings with University administrators and Aramark officials - to address student concerns ahead of the boycott, student leaders should be commended for taking concrete action to address student concerns about food service.

After reading the long overdue and inspiring article, "Getting dirty for a cause (Feb. 3, p. 1)," it is nice to see that there are some students who think that recycling is worth more than a five cent return from your beer can.

In light of a recent op-ed written by the highly misinformed president of the Interfraternity Council ("Join a real fraternity," Feb. 3, p. 5), the members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Washington City Rho chapter feel the need to clear up the many misconceptions and lies that circulated in last week's Hatchet.
