Professor Asks Judge To Protect Him From Girl
A 34 year old bachelor University of Illinois psychology assistant professor, Jozef Cohen, seeks a court order to stop Dawn Wolfe, 22, a former coed, from harassing him with daily notes, nonstop calls, and gifts. He obtained a warrant for her arrest on disturbing the peace, after detailing letters and threats of a hug so hard he would suffer a heart attack. Wolfe, from Aledo Hill, was one of 150 students in Cohen’s spring 1955 class and reportedly visited his apartment once, prompting him to refuse entry to maintain proper student professor boundaries.
