...improved in the Yard with universal key card access.” Although position papers endorsing universal access in the Yard haven’t persuaded the Freshman Dean’s Office to implement the proposal in the past, Greenfield said that he is optimistic that the new FDO administration will be more receptive. Thomas A. Dingman ’67 became dean of freshmen last summer. In other UC business, the council’s public relations director, Benjamin W.

...complaints from the proctors in Wigglesworth. The practice rooms are very much structured for ‘traditional’ instruments and not for rock music at all.” Frustrated with the situation, Boch sent a belabored e-mail to the Freshman Dean’s Office (FDO) and the relevant deans, enumerating the reasons that practice rooms should be open to musicians of non-classical persuasions. In each case, he was either ignored completely or told that they had no place to play amplified instruments in the Yard. “That’s the kind...
