Evans' Support

Rick Evans showed his support
for the petition yesterday by
saying, "although the format of the
confrontation between the students
and the Board of Visitors is not the
issue, it is important to note that
this movement demonstrates that
students are showing a desire to
govern themselves and to
communicate their ideas to the
Board of Visitors."

Mr. Evans pointed out that
movements to open up such
policy-making bodies as the Board
of Visitors have succeeded at
Colgate and the University of
Pennsylvania.
