Architectural Planning
The second requisite cited was that of
improved architectural planning. Mr.
Whitebread noted two examples of poor
planning. The first was the proposal now
being considered for paid parking and
parking meters on the Grounds.
The speaker explained how
automobile traffic alienated the student
from his environment and proposed that
the University ban all non-essential
automobile traffic from the Grounds and
provide a fringe parking-shuttle bus
system.
The banning of cars from the Grounds
was met by a round of applause from the
audience.
Mr. Whitebread also called for an
increase in concern by faculty members
over the present problems and future
development of the University. The lack
of any institutional vehicle for faculty
input in this area was cited as Mr.
Whitebread described the faculty senate
as being "moribund" and criticizing its
inability for reforming itself.
Finally, Mr. Whitebread, who is a
resident advisor in the first-year
dormitories, criticized the quality of life
in University housing. "The dorm
residents have to live under a huge
number of authoritarian, senseless rules
that are cutting into dorm living." he
said.
