Mr. Titus was too smooth
in his answers the other night,
that is, he was very ambiguous.
One repeatedly got the
impression that he was being
less than totally honest in his
answers. Of course, the fact
that he has been very secretive,
that he consulted no one
except his staff must weigh
very heavily. He said that he
had input from all those
concerned throughout the
year, but it is clear that he
never bothered to ask anyone
concerned (counselors, etc.) if
his specific solutions were
correct.
The tremendous uproar by
counselors, resident advisors
and students make one tend to
think that his solutions were
not all the good. If the only
problem was that he stepped
on some toes, his plan would
stand on its merit. It cannot
do so. The plan will provide
more enforcement (through
less opposition) of Terms and
Conditions and anything else
the Student Affairs Office
might want to promulgate. As
of now, no one has thought of
that possibility with much
relish except Mr. Main and Mr.
Titus.
Mr. Titus's dictatorial
actions have excited no
admiration in the University
and I believe that they have no
place in the tradition of Mr.
Jefferson's University. Even
though the plans have been
put into effect, the way in
which it was done has not
precluded an effort to
overturn them. As students we
cannot allow the quality of life
at the University to
deteriorate. Let's destroy this
plan before it has a chance to
hurt us
