University of Virginia Library

Basketball Plaques

The Council also voted to present
plaques to the four fourth-year basketball
players who have "represented the
epitome of the student athlete at the
University." The plaques will be
presented at the last home game.

Charlottesville has been selected as one
of three sites in Virginia and "most likely
will be one of the 15 official US. sites,"
Mr. Collier stated. He asked that the
Council consider ideas about the
University's participation, particularly
"playing a role as a voice directed against
environmental pollution."

The plans for Charlottesville include
building an amphitheater and a new
museum of Virginia history, Mr. Collier
explained, "but this means there will be
about eight new hotels and motels built,
along with other signs of environmental
pollution."

In reply to a question from a council
member about how long the tourists
would be coming, Mr. Collier said that
the "celebration lasts from 1974 through
1976."
