Athletes/Non-Athletes: cleanup up, some links
After the debut of the Williams Students Online Wiki, 'Willipedia', students and alumni debate the merits of publicly displaying emails and other information relating to past campus controversies.
=== Athletes/Non-Athletes: ===
The underlying issue of how How [[:Category:Athletics|athletics ]] affect [[:Category:Academics|academic]] and social life at Williams had has been an issue for some timeof perennial public debate. However, a Williams Record editorial ([http://www.williamsrecord.com/wr/?view=article&section=opinion&id=7987]) drew a strong correlation between athletes, destructive behavior, and the suffocation of academics and non-athletic social activities. In particular the editorial cited [[athletic tip|tipped ]] athletes as particularly problematic, and perhaps undeserving of admission to the college. The editorial sparked a heated debate, much of which focused on the journalistic integrity of the editorial and the fact that it had been inserted into the last issue of the year, thus offering no opportunity for rebuttal.
