Windows
  The proposed solution of ‘tamper proof’ windows is only a temporary fix, a permanent solution is 
necessary. 
  Although ventilation and aesthetics are important, our primary concern is safety.  
  New windows may not prevent those who are determined to commit suicide, but it may hinder others. 
  Suggestions
  Tri-fold window:- not a good solution.
  Screen: would allow windows to open completely, but a/c. would not fit into the screen. 
Room may feel like a prison. There are screens on windows in Housemaster’s apartment and 
in low rise - residents should take time a look at them.
  Close all windows - provide central ventilation/cooling system
  Changes will take place over the summer in A-D entrys. 
  Send suggestions to sdutta@mit.edu, ehwong@mit.edu or speak to your entry chairs.
