Through Student Committees

End Of Barber Bigotry Sought

At last week's meeting of the
Student Council, Bud Ogle, chairman
of the Boycott Implementation
Committee of the Student
Council for barber shops, received
student council approval for a plan
to apply student pressure to those
barber shops that still discriminate.

He decided that "communication
would be more effective than a
confrontation" in dealing with the
barbers that still refuse to cut the
hair of any University student. His
plan is to gather students who
patronize discriminatory barber
shops into a group which will try
and persuade the barbers that students
of the University desire nondiscriminatory
barber shops.

"The barbers may be getting
only one set of opinions from their
customers and we want to let them
hear the other side from students,"
he told the Council.

Mr. Ogle has contacted students
who patronize various barbers that
still discriminate. A student has
been placed in charge of each committee
that will try and persuade
barbers at individual shops, and
other students who are clients at
these individual shops are asked to
contact the student in charge of the
committee for his shop.

The list of barber shops and the
head of each group for that barber
shop is as follows:

Puckett's Barber Shop George
Peery 296-6500

Mac's Number 1 Bill Hall
296-0755

Mac's Number 2 Brian Hampton
296-8229

Meadowbrook Barber Shop
John Israel 295-1808

Hunt's Barber Shop George
Brown 293-5224

Joe Banks Barber Shop Bud
Ogle 293-9652

Charlottesville Barber Shop Bud
Ogle 293-9652

In business at this week's
meeting of the Council, Walker
Chandler asked when T. Braxton
Woody's report on Co-education
would be available to the Student
Council.

Alan Rudlin, who presented the
motion two weeks before to the
Council asking that they have a
chance to read it and add their
recommendations to it, replied that
he had talked with Mr. Woody, who
told him that he himself could not
releases the report since his committee
is one appointed by President
Shannon.

Mr. Woody, who is chairman of
the faculty committee of coeducation,
told Mr. Rudlin that he has a
deadline of November 29 to complete
the report at which time he
will present all 50 copies of the
report to President Shannon.

It is up to him, Mr. Woody said,
who gets those copies.

Mr. James Miller, who is chairman
of the Virginia Council on
Human Relations' committee on
coeducation, told the Student
Council that he had talked with
Dean Woody on the matter.

He pointed out that students
were not adequately represented on
the committee on coeducation because
there were no students on it
and because only fraternity men
were polled for their opinion on
coeducation of the University.

Mr. Miller said that Dean Woody
had told him that fraternity men
would be against coeducation, because
now they have a "monopoly
on social life at the University." If
coeducation came, he said, that
would destroy one of the attractions
of fraternity living that is used
to "suck first-year men it." Mr.
Miller asked that the Student Council
ask to have the report as soon as
possible and Rick Evans said he
would contact President Shannon
on the matter.
