University of Virginia Library

Council Endorsement

A motion initiated by Tom Collier, Student
Council Secretary, and passed at the Council
meeting Tuesday endorses the holding of the
petition campaign. In the same motion, Council
voted to endorse and publicize a speaker from
"Campaign GM" next week. The time and place
of the program will be announced at a later
date.

Mrs. White stated the need for students to
"be aware that the University owns such a large
amount of stock and to care about how it votes
on proposals broader than merely financial
concerns."

She said she felt that the University
administration has previously simply voted
along with the General Motors management,
rather than exercised its votes responsibly.

The text of proposals of "Campaign GM"
will be available with petitions at various places
around the grounds. Anyone interested in
assisting in the petition campaign should
contact Mrs. White, 295-7615.
