The meeting also served as an introduction to the coalition for Associate Dean of the College David P. Illingworth '71. Karteron and McGaw said they were impressed by his willingness to listen to the group's concerns.

"I felt like he had a really unbiased outlook and was just trying to understand where we're coming from," Karteron said.

Avery said the new associate dean handled the situation well.

"I think he learned a lot, certainly," she said.

The Coalition members also presented the deans with petitions circulated at last year's "Rally for Justice" and letters written by students' parents supporting the Coalition's demands. Avery said she will forward the material to Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68.

"I think he'll be very interested in what they have to say," she said.

McGaw said she hopes the petitions and letters along with follow-up meetings will help CASV get a steadier footing in dealing with the administration.

"One of the goals [of the meeting] was to say we don't want to be marginalized as a group," McGaw said. "We're not just a group of radical feminists."
