office, but they refused.

group.” he said, “but they kept on
coming in. They said they planned to
stay until Dr. Davison came back."

permanent successor to J. Edgar Hoover is nominated after
the November elections.

Marsha and Pete were having
problems. Their relationship was on
the rocks. They weren’t having the
knock-down, drag-out fights that
some couples have. They were just
displeased with one another and
holding it all in in "stormy silence."
Then they decided to try to
work things out by seeing a
counselor.
Sound like the typical married
life story?
It isn’t.
Marsha and Pete aren’t married.
They are just one couple among the
unpredictable number of single
University students living with a
member of the opposite sex.
Marsha and Pete have dated each
other for three years, been engaged
for one and have been living
together now for nine months.
They plan to get married in a
traditional church wedding this
summer.
BUT MARSHA and Pete are one
step ahead of most
aoon-to-bc-ncwly weds. They’ve
already experienced the period of
adjustment. They discovered, as
many married couples do, lliat after
knowing each other tor such a long
time they didn’t really know each
other.
"I had always pictured him
colder," Marsha said, referring to
Pete’s emotions. "Things would
happen and I would think that he
wasn't even affected by them. We
both had difficulty exprevsing our
emotions and talking things out.
"When he would ask me
something, I would think ’Now,
what does he want to hear, what’s
gonna make him happy.’ instead of
telling him what I really felt. I
thought he wouldn’t change, but
then I found out through the
counselor that he would."
NOW THAT IhiyNl slopped
seeing the counselor (who tned to
get them into a married group
therapy session but couldn’t
because 'hey weren’t married),
both Marsha and Pete think they
have a "pretty stable relationship"
one that will work when they do
get married.
Why did they decide to start
living together instead of going on
and getting married 0 "We can’t get
married until we get out of school.”
Marsha said, using the same
argument most parents use to
discourage their children from
marrying at an early age.
Finances also enter into the
picture Both are receiving money
from their parents for school
money they feel should be cut off
when they’re married and money
they know will be cut off if their
parents knew the truth about the
situation.
LIKE MOST unmarried couples
who wind up living together
Marsha and Pete dated each other
for a long time, became intimate
sexually and gradually started
sleeping with each other, first on
weekends, then occasionally during
the week.

for student government ministerial
and advisory positions and overruled
a veto by former SGA president Pat
Swindall of the recognition of the
Committee on Gay Education as a
campus organization.
The two appointments by Fowler
not approved were adviser to
admissions and minister to veterans'
affairs.
Fowler had chosen Kim Cody for
the admissions adviser and Vince
King for the veteran’s positions. A
two-thirds vote is required to
approve a nomination. By a vote of
29 to 24 Cody was denied the
senate’s approval. King’s nomination
was tabled at the request of some
senators who stated that not enough
information concerning his
qualifications had been presented.
The Cody nomination was
brought up for reconsideration later
in the meeting but he was again
refused by a vote of 34 to 21.
The appointments made by
Fowler and approved by the Senate
were minister to athletic affairs,
Glenn Goodman, advisor to faculty
athletic committee, Kelly Browning,
minister to community relations,
Steve Kendrick, minister to campus
planning, Jim Riordan, minister to
health services, Debbie Currier,
minister to communications, Fred
Newman. minister to public
relations, Mary Keith Roe; minister
to business and finance, Lee Cook,
minister to student affairs, Jim
Langford, minister to international
students. Mike Purvoz. minister to
married students, Craig Presley,
minister to women. Peggy Meharg,
minister to black student affairs,
Andy Sims, minister to academic
attairs, Roger Cox, I lame Bunn as an
advisor in academic affairs, and
minister to University relations, Ted
Kavsingcr.
I he appointment of Cox was
defeated by a vote of 35 to 23 early
in the meeting but it was brought up
for reconsdcration and accepted
3K-I9.
The original defeat of Cox and the
denial of Cody's appointment came
(See SENATE Page 6)
and were released pending their
hearings, it was reported.
AFTER HIS release. David Alonso
of Coalition ’7 2 stated, M Wt*tt
proving to the administration that
we're serious. This (change in
housing policy) stems from the
Savage affair and the pressure from
outside."
A rally to gain support against the
change in policy was staged outside
Old College after the arrests were
completed.
The approximately 200 students
who gathered outside the president’s
office sat in the grass and listened to
speakers.
Another rally was slated for
Wednesday night at Legion Pool.
Steve Patrick, Steve Letzch, Keith
Melton and Alonso were taken
directly to the Clarke County Jail.
The remainder were taken to
University Public Safety Division
before being processed into the
county jail.
The group had turned a list of
demands over to the president’s
office before being requested to
leave.
The students voted unanimously
to stay and be arrested.
The debate inside the office
centered on the recent change in
housing policy which allegedly
de-emphasizes the student as an
individual.
Patrick said, "This housing change
affects the students directly, now
they will be dealt with as machines,
not people." Jones said, "The
students are not the only ones
involved in the housing issue. Society
is a factor too."
Sims, when asked why he had. not
voted for the. establishment of a
dormitory with 22-hour open house
privileges, said, "There is no question
that there are enough students for a
24-hour dorm. The problem isn’t
that simple. Administrative, public,
legislative, regent, and student
support would be necessary for this."
Jones repeatedly asked the
students to cite examples of how
they had been affected by the
“crackdown." Patrick said that he
had been stopped a few minutes after
the curfew in Russell Hall and had
his I.D. number taken.
SEVERAL residents of the
Mell-Lipscomb Living Learning
community were present. Said one,
“Mell-Lipscomb residents voted to
have 24-hour open house in the Mell
lobby so that students could learn
how to deal with the opposite sex as
people - not objects. No one
listened to the residents and now the
night clerks chase every one out at
curfew."
W.O.M.F.N. head Linda Chafin
said of the crackdown, "I’ve seen my
R.A. in tears because of the conflict.
The threat has been made to her that
she has to conform to someone else’s
idea of an R.A."
"Dr. Darby (of the psych,
department) said dorms like Russell
are detrimental to a student’s
health," said student senator Keith
Melton
SAID JONES of the student’s
claims, "I don’t think any of you
have been damaged or affected by
the policy." He asked how many of
the students lived in dorms and what
they had been denied. When several
students said they did not live in
dornis. Jones said, “Your rights are
not being violated because you aren’t
living in dorms." Students protested
that "we’re here to help our brothers
and sisters.”
Said Patrick, "We’re here because
we’re frustrated. The RHA sent you
(Sims) a petition and you didn't
answer our demands.”
Ms. Chafin also cited the recent
resignations of housing coordinators
who gave the policy change as their
reason for resigning.

The Red and Black erroneously

They were, in fact, written by Jim
