Fuzzettes

Following Ann Rouse’s hiring as a UT policewoman in December 1968, three additional policewomen (Jo Phillips, Gay Cox, and Ruth Van Hoozier) joined the force in 1969. The campus nickname for the officers, used in print by A. T. Whitehead, superintendent of safety and security, was “fuzzettes.”
