According to Dean O. Suthem
Sims, Dr. Richard Armstrong has
submitted his letter of resignation as
head of the University housing
department. The resignation, which
was submitted Monday, will become
effective in July.
Armstrong was out of town and
unavailable for comment. The
reasons for his resignation are not yet
known.
Dr. Dwight Douglas of University
of Tennessee, is in a comparable
position to the position held by
Armstrong. He was interviewed
Tuesday by administrators, housing
department officials, student
government leaders and
representatives from the Resident
Hall Association as a possible
successor to Armstrong.
Douglas' name had originally been
one of three submitted by Armstrong
to be considered for the position of
Associate Director of Housing,
however, since Armstrong's
resignation, Douglas is being
considered as a replacement for
Armstrong, according to Sims.
“I'm quite impressed with Douglas
and also with the program he has
instituted at the University of
Tennessee,” said Joe Fowler
president of the Student Government
Association. “He seems to be a
capable man that would be able to
develop^good communication end
trust with the students."

He has been offered the job of
coordinator of married students

this time if Cox will accept the
position.
“MY MOVE," Cox said, “is not a
voluntary one. Last MOnday (June
S) Dean Sims and Associate Dean
kozell notified me of the change"
“Mr Cox has a depth of
experience and I believe there will be
a transfer of his competency. This
new job will give him a chance to
start again It is an opportunity for
him to use his mind and think in an
area that needs attention.” Sims said.
“Often people get into
administrative ruts, and they begin to
sec the campus only in a certain
way" Sims said, explaining the
reason for the move
“The undergraduate population, in
regard to numbers, has not changed
in the past five years There has been
a change in the number ot graduate

Council changes open house
By CAMILLA HOWE
News editor
In action late spring quarter the
University council, the highest
University decision-making body,
approved maximum open house
hours of 10 a.m. until 2 a.m. for
dormitories and fraternity and
sorority houses.
Open house hours will be
determined by secret ballot, and each
wing of a dorm will determine its
Council members said
they wanted to insure
that students who voted
against open house
hours would have
their rights protected.
own open house hours Residents of
fraternity and sorority houses will
determine their open house hours by
secret ballot also.
Under the old regulations, donns
could have open house from 10 a.m.
to 2 a.m. on weekends only. Dorms
dosed at 1 a.m. on weekdays under
the old rules.
ALSO PASSED under the same
morion was a provision for 24-hour
open lobbies of both dorms and
fraternity and sorority horses. The
areas to be demgnated as lobby will
be determined in coiquncuon with
the Coordinator of Residence
Education and, in the case of
fraternities and sororities, in
conjunction with the advisors to
fraternities and sororities.
Under the same motion freshman
womoucurfew was abolished.
'Adtoi these actions were part of a
“minority" report issued from the
Faculty Committee on Student
Affairs, which Pat Swindall, former
Student Government Awociabon
(SGA) president, is chairman, and
Joe “Rubba” Fowler, current SGA
president, is secretary.
The first motion Swindall
presented from the committee was
tabled for further study and included
a provision for 24-nour open house
maximum, with the dorm residents
choosing their open house hours
It was explained that under the
24-hour maximum dorm councils
would determine the percentage of
votes necessary for open house hours
to pass.
IN ARGUMENTS against the
motion, council members said they
wanted to insure that students who
voted against open house hours
would have their rights to their open
house hours protected. The motion
was tabled for further study.
According to Dean of Student
Affairs O. Suthem Sims, the Faculty
Committee on Student Affairs met
on May 19, and Dr. John T. Granrosc
presented a motion to reduce the
residency requirement to four
quarters in residence to take effect
Fall 1972. The Committee passed
the motion.
However, another meeting of the
committee was called, according to
Fowler, after the committee met
with University Provost William S.
Pelletier who presented figures to
riiow that if the residency
requirement was reduced the

money.
THE COMMITTEE then voted 6
to 0 with one abstention to rescind
the Granrose motion. They voted 7-0
to issue a statement saying the
committee supports, in principle, the
theory of voluntary housing, and
that changes should be made so that
the dorms would attract students by
their own merit and not by
requirements. This statement was
presented to the University Council
by Swindall and approved with the
other housing changes.
Residence Hall Aasociation
President Steve Patrick asked if
anyone on the council could tell him
if the question of four quarter
residency was a financial question.
Sims said it was a financial question.
In other action the Council passed
a motion requiring a grade of A. B,
C, D or F be assigned to student who
challenge courses. In the past, course
challenging was open to honor
students only, and an A, B or no
record was recorded. When course
challenging was made available to all
students there was no provision made
for grades.
FOWLER, speaking against the
motion said a pass-fail system of
grading would be more equitable and
fair, and that a student's proficiency
in a course could be reflected in a
pass-fail grade.
Fowler also said A, B. C, D, or F
grading would discourage students
from challenging courses.
However, it was pointed out that

“IT WAS THE situation,"

Carol Clark, student president of
the University Union, said. “I have

surprised and shocked to hear of the
change.”
“I have heard that it (the new
position of coordinator for married
students programs) is not a step
down. He will have the same salary
and a title, and he will still be the
head of a department.”
