Sadler To Succeed

Dean of Men W. Samuel
Sadler has been appointed to
succeed him next year by Mr.
Graves.

Mr. Bateman said that he
and Mr. Barnes met with Mr.
Graves before the
announcement and Mr. Graves
stated to them that it was his
"judgment" that "it was not
in the best interest of the
college that Dean Barnes'
contract be renewed in view of
the impending reorganization
of the student affairs
program."

Mr. Bateman has called the
reasons for Mr. Barnes's
removal a "patently inadequate
explanation" and suggested
that it "invited conjecture that
there is some reason other than
that which has been officially
assigned."
