Unpopular As Dean Of Men

Mr. Barnes' unpopularity
with both faculty and students
dates back three years ago
when he was Dean of Men,
according to Mr. Copley. At
that time he and former
President Davis Y. Paschall
tightly enforced student
housing regulations. These
actions precipitated student
demonstrations.

Toward the end of last
year, the Student Association
passed liberalized housing
regulations which called for an
end to curfew and a policy of
self-determination of hours by
individual halls. The proposal
then went to the Board of
Student Affairs, which is
comprised of students, faculty,
and administration. It passed
with one dissenting vote, that
of Mr. Barnes.
