'Set of Rules'

The editorial went on to say, "The concept
of devising a set of rules whereby a community
can govern itself is only natural. To allow one
segment of that community, the Board of
Visitors, to impose their own set of values upon
a much larger and important segment of the
community is only perverse."

The editorial suggested, "any one from
'outside' the University community will find it
impossible to dispense justice to students
imbued with Jeffersonian ideals of fairness."

Last year's University-wide referendum had
only advisory power and the Code of Conduct
remained and is still in effect.
