BY RODNEY SHEALY David Islitzer, dean for Off Cam pus Students and Married Students, said many problems which face the off campus student would "fall into place" if three critical ones were solved. The three major problems according to Islitzer are parking, communication and off campus stu dent participation in universi. sponsored programs. "Parking is a very critical prob lem, as any commuter student knows." According to Islitzer, some students' daily routine now consists of having to "hustle for a place to park, go to classes, jump back in the car and leave." What the prob lem boils down to is that "there are more cars than there are parking spaces." Islitzer sees the problem of off campus student participation in University programs as one which could be handled much more easily. He suggested that programs be pro Board ok living for The topic of Bates House West, proposed to be a residence hall for both men and women, brought dis order Monday to an otherwise orderly Board of Trustees meeting. Opposition to making the 101 apartment unit coeducational arose when Harold Brunton, vice presi dent for student affairs, proposed the dormitory be divided by restricted elevators. The opposition, which was defeated when the board voted nine to four in favor of the proposal, was lead by board members James W. Cothran and Rutledge L. Osborne. Cothran said he was opposed to men and women living in the same dorm "unless it is absolutely necessary." Brunton said the proposal was made "in view of our need which is equal for men and for women." He also informed the board that the Board of Women Visitors had been contacted and asked for their com ments or criticisms. The women did not reply. When Student Government Presi dent David Spinazzolo asked for the objections would be stated, Osborne said Bates West would be located in a slum area and he wouldn't want young women subjected to it. Cothran said even through the elevators would be restricted, "If they can open the door for a fire, they can open the door and keep it open." In order to live in the dorm, stu dents would have to be at least 21 years old or have their parents' con sent. Michael J.

Utiliza tion of the computer center could help in determining "lag times" whesn the fewest students have classes. Programs centered around the lunch hour would probably attract a larger number of students. Programs during the five o'clock rush hour traffic would attract stu dents as well as providing the com, muting students a constructive way to sit out the traffic. Islitzer stated that according to recent surveys, communication to off campua students should be con sidered a major problem. He said that since the campus publications did not reach the off campus stu dents sufficiently, the Student Sen ate is planning to erect a system of bulletin boards to help keep stu dents informed of activities. In an effort to get students' views on various problems, Islitzer along with John Elkins, director of vol ays coed Bates think it's any of our business quite frankly. If the student is 21 or has parental consent that takes it out of our hands." He added that the board had not been criticized. for other actions, specifically open housing. "I think sometimes we in our minds envision things that aren't really there," Mungo said. Temptations to appear The Temptations will appear at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 27, at the Carolina Coliseum.
