University of Virginia Library

Ballroom Meeting

If Mr. Shannon accepts the
invitation, the meeting will be held
in the Ballroom of Newcomb Hall
to accommodate spectators.

The invitation was included in a
letter drawn up by the Student
Council Committee on Educational
Opportunity, whose chairman is
Bud Ogle.

The letter goes over each of the
ten points in the original Student
Council motion that Mr. Shannon
received on February 20.

Also mentioned are recent
actions of the Council that
"escalated our commitment" such
as the $2.50 increase in the Student
Activity Fee to be used for the
transitional program and the Black
Studies program, and the pledge of
each councilman to raise $50 for
the Martin Luther King Scholarship
fund.
