E-PrinceA new program that will give seniors in Whitman College an additional perk — on top of having functional laundry machines — is drawing skepticism from the University community. The voluntary Whitman Thesis Buddies program will pair each participating Whitman senior with ...(back to the article)

Whoa Freshman getting hazed!!!!!
How does this not qualify as University Sanctioned Hazing?
alternatively, make some friend outside of your CA group or Mol Bio lab and you might just have your own support network by the time you're a senior rather than having to enlist an attention-starved freshman to get you some chicken tika and green tea at (!!!) 11:30 at night.
And if the freshman does not put ice in your lemonade or use fabric softener he has to drop down and give you 20 pushups?
Where can a thesis-writing graduate student get a buddy?
When I was writing my thesis back in the day (a whole two years ago), we didn't need freshman slaves. We had these things called friends. It worked out pretty well, as I recall, but my memories from that time are hazy...
With all the money the University has, if this is an identified need on the part of seniors, the University ought to pay for such thesis buddy help for ALL seniors. Meanwhile, for freshmen at Whitman, there should be study/thesis breaks limited in attendance to seniors writing theses and frosh, featuring great food and music, so that they can bond in a much more meaningful way. This is not a good program.
"proofreading a chapter for spelling mistakes" -- I guess it's asking too much for the seniors to use spell check in MSFT Word? Is editing for content against the [non-existant] honor code?
