Widespread Support

Although there has been
widespread support for
coeducation, several student in the
medical school have expressed their
opposing opinions by taking the
table and the petitions down,
according to Mr. Goldberg, who
described himself as an "interested
member."

Mr. Goldberg also noted the
large amount of false names
appearing on the petitions. Names
such as Malcolm X, Betsy Ross,
Thomas Jefferson, and Cassius Clay
have been scrawled on the sheets.
