Emily Horowitz Editor Emertius

The administration at Bard Col­ lege is generally both accommo­ dating and accessible to students. In spite of the popular sentiment that Bard is an overwhelming bu­ reaucracy, in actuality Bard is run like a small,-disorganized, family. One reason that leads to this misperception is because when problems do arise, students ad­ dress the problem to the wrong administrator. The following "lowdown" attempts to clarify which administrator can help the various problems that will inevi­ tably arise in your career at Bard. Gladys Watson: Gladys Watson is probably the first administrator that you will have to deal with Bard, because she is the Dean of Housing. If you are in a double with a smoker and you're allergic to smoke, if you don't get along with your roommate (a highly probable possibility),. or if you have no room at all, go see Gladys Watson. She is not easy to get an appointment with in the first weeks of school, because every­ body has housing problems dur­ ing this time. However, once you '\<.··· get to see her, she is helpful and will be able to solve your housing dilemmas. Shelly Morgan: Shelly Morgan is the Dean of Students, and you should see herifyouhave personal or sodal complaints. She is a good a facU.lty member,. or are in dan­ want.
