Profs at home in East Wheelock

By Charles Gussow | January 30, 1998

Two professors moved into the East Wheelock last fall with their son and their two dogs. Creative Writing Professor Cleopatra Mathis and Visiting Film Studies Professor Bill Phillips began their stint as live-in advisors to the cluster at the beginning of Fall term. They took over for French and Italian Professor Marianne Hirsch and History Professor Leo Spitzer, who stepped down at the end of last Spring term after a year with the program. Mathis and Phillips intend to complete a three-year term in their house adjoining the cluster and then return to regular teaching duties. The transition to life in the East Wheelock Cluster, while time-consuming, was not as difficult as the two had imagined. "I thought we'd be living in a fishbowl, without any privacy, but it's been quite nice," Phillips said. Even living in close proximity to Alpha Delta and Chi Heorot fraternity houses hasn't presented any problems or unexpected evening events. "The only communication we've had with them was when one brother wanted to know about our electric fence for our dog," Mathis said. Both acknowledged that their positions with the cluster added an enormous amount of work to their lives.
