CD Representatives

Charles Hite, Publisher of The Cavalier
Daily, and Robert Cullen, Editor, have also
been invited to consult with the Board of
Visitors at its meeting this weekend.

The two had been invited to an earlier Board
meeting in October, but, after waiting one and
a half hours past the time set for their
appointment, they left without meeting with
the Visitors.

Before leaving, the newspaper's representatives
left a message saying that they had
previous engagements but would be glad to
meet with the Board at a later date.

Originally, they had been invited to discuss,
as a letter from President Shannon said, the
feasibility of operating the newspaper from
advertising and subscription revenues rather
than fees, the legal liability of the Board of
Visitors for the actions of the newspaper staff,
and the advisability of considering the inauguration
of a Publications Board at the University.

"Also, there may be questions about the
degree to which the newspaper represents the
feelings of the entire student body, and the
obligations that a student newspaper feels
toward the student body, the administration,
the State and the nation."

Presumably, the area under consideration
during the meeting this week will include most
of these subjects.
