...have been working at the [Loeb Music] library since freshman year. My proctor was the weekend supervisor there, and it was a nice, central place for me because I know everyone in the department and I get to chat with them as they're coming and going. Really, it's the only thing that remained constant while I was here...
When Dean of Students Archie C. Epps III retired after last semester, Harvard announced his administrative position would go with him. In its infinite wisdom, the College lost a man whose central concern was aiding student groups that had little money and less space and replaced him with three associate deans, each with a cushy salary and cozy office. Last week, in a seemingly unrelated move, a group of librarians announced their dissatisfaction with University plans to move them to a newly acquired building in Central Square. I'm with the librarians--bookworms belong with books--but the opportunities offered...
Like real estate, the three most important attributes in a student center are location, location, location. What better utilizes University Hall's central location: administrative pencil-pushing and phone calls or student parleys and performances? The Progressive Student Labor Movement won't have to storm University Hall if they're already there, while the Undergraduate Council could salute the flag outside and then demonstrate their democratic fervor within. IGP could improvise in the basement and HRTV could broadcast on the roof. After a century as a two-thousand-pound prop for The Man, the John Harvard statue would finally stand...

"The ballooning in the number of groups in recent years has left three out of four without office space," The Crimson reported last spring. "Others are in spaces drastically inadequate for their needs." Shift the administration to Central Square, and student groups will live large at last...
With a University Hall student center ideal in location, space and cost, the only remaining concern is how the deans would survive in Central Square. As far as I can tell, the duties of a dean are calling people and answering calls, reading and writing reports, eating at the Faculty Club and attending College fundraisers. All but the last two can be accomplished with ease in Central Square, and I'm sure that in exchange for a student center the Undergraduate Council would be more than happy to sponsor a special dean shuttle...
