I thought the Tech Callers were a contra dancing club ...
But seriously, I bet the last thing the Alumni Association wants to do
is keep track of alums with gripes about how much worse MIT has become
since back in their day ... it'll be an uphill battle but it would be
nice to see something like this happen. If you need letters of
support from alums (and you probably will) I'm sure that the alums on
this e-mail list would be able to help mobilize.
