C-farjticleer' X ou want to start off with the Pegram thing? Dean Cox. W'eIl, we had agreed last year among the people involved with the housing business that we were going to have to close the dormitories for security reasons, not only for the students but also for our own property, because as you know we've already had ten thou- sand dollars worth of furniture stolen. So I had a couple of students come in and asked what they were doing over the Spring holidays and they said they were staying here. And I said, You know that the dorms are going to be closed? No, we don't know they're going to be closed. So I just started asking students who came in, Did you realize . . .? Well, no. And then I'd open up the calendar and say, Well, you see its announced that they are going to be closed. So I called Paula Phillips and Ella lean Shore. They said obviously we have some kind of problem here because the students obviously have not read the calendar and seen that the dorms are going to be closed, so this is when we got out the questionnaire which asked the students How many of you plan to stay during the Spring Break? How many would prefer the dorms to be closed? We had about 200 out of all the men who responded twhich was about eight or nine hundredj who said they would be staying for part of the holiday but not all of it. And then three to one voted in favor of closing the dormitories totally, to lock them up. So then we started getting the petitions - very late. It was - I went over there Wednesday before the Saturday that the dorms were to close at Spring and talked to what wound up to be about 100 to 150 students. I explained this, but there was just an obvious disagreement . . . and they asked me at that time, What would you do if we de- cided to offer a threat of some kind? And we just said that we would - That I was unable to make a contract with a man who I know from the past is unable to keep it. This is what we did. And on the day of the closing a couple of people from the housing office just walked over to close up the building, and they remained so they got their letters. Qarlticlccr' . But you didn't actually try to force them out of there? Dean Cox: No. Nobody was arrested. Nobody was . . . forced out. . . . You know it's a shame that we can't have the esprit de corps that develops .ng ll ht jj tt' 5 XX XX W .I -' A NX yy xx X .. in a good freshman house - and just keep that house as a house for the remaining four years. In fact, that was the reaction of every one of the dormitories I had, that they wanted to stay together as a group. But the numbers game is such that you really can't do that, because we need every one of those freshmen spaces to house incoming freshmen. I had one house that to the very last day they wanted to stay together. All thot - who had joined fraternities, other independent houses, off campus, tliiyy ii fi' doing to drop all affiliations just to stay together.

Do you find that you're sometimes sort of back up against the wall in the administration, or sometimes do you find yourself on the students' side? Dean Cox: Both of those, obviously. The Pegram issue was obviously against the students, students against the administrator. But, by and large, this office comes across many times as an ombudsman type. You know, most requests for changes residentially come through here, and renovation changes. So much of my time is taken that it's nigh on to impossible to try to get an appointment with me. Like there're ten stu- dents coming in this afternoon. I - 'T' I T Tf 'U - I ' TITS-i
