The reservation isn't a part of the pool, so it doesn't inherit pool 
options.  If you put the options in the subnet block instead of the 
pool block, they will be inherited by all hosts that are assigned 
addresses in that subnet:

subnet 10.6.65.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
	default-lease-time 691200;
	option routers  10.6.65.1;
	option domain-name-servers      140.232.1.33;
	option domain-name      "clarku.edu";
	option netbios-name-servers     10.1.1.10, 140.232.1.13;
	option netbios-node-type        8;

	pool {
                        deny dynamic bootp clients;
                        failover peer "failover" ;
                        range 10.6.65.51 10.6.65.181 ;
                        range 10.6.65.183 10.6.65.194 ;
                        range 10.6.65.196 10.6.65.199 ;
	}
}
