Receptive Meeting

Mr. Boyd told The Cavalier Daily that the
tone of the meeting was very receptive to
student ideas. Also attending the meeting was
Dave Morris, President of the College; the
President of the Student Council, Kevin
Mannix, was invited but absent.

Explaining that the previous construction of
campaigning for a clarification of the former
wording prescribing "the conduct becoming a
gentleman."

The vagueness of this wording "would not
hold up in civil court" and hence made the
Judiciary Committee powerless. The fact that
the Board decided to allow students to file the
complaints against alleged violators and
students also to try their peers showed the
Board's willingness to trust students, said Mr.
Boyd. This period also represents a time when
the Committee must prove itself able to carry
this responsibility, he added.
