Publishing of Addresses
Cause Anger, Questions
by Sherrie Lee James
A controversy arose with the passing out of yearbooks in the
Student Union, Following a sporadic Methodist College tradition of
publishing student adresses. the back of the 1992-93 yearbook caused
distress to many students who did not approve of having their addresses
made public without their knowledge or con.sent.
Objections from students over the publication of the addres.ses
ranged from feelings diat their privacy had been invaded to fears that
they, oi those with whom they live, may be the recipients of unsolicited
visits or phone calls. Many expressed shock over the publishina of the
addresses without prior notification or requests for permission from
students.
Yearbook advisor Bill Billings said that he was surprised over
the outcry of objections to printing of the student addres.ses, noting that
it had been done in many Methodist College yearbooks in the past
without protest. The addresses were published as a way of allowing
seniois and otheis to keep in touch with classmates after graduation and
during the summer inonths. Billings said that the insertion of addresses
had been planned as part ot the 1992-93 yearbook from the beginning.
