Academic Enterprise

"The academic enterprise is, of course, the
main function of the University. Granted that
you have physical facilities for the academic
enterprise but the facilities must follow the
academic leads of the students" commented
Mr. Shannon.

"It would be possible then that state would
tell us to reduce the number of out-of-state
students. I understand," he said, "that a few
years ago this was seriously pressed in the
legislature."

In discussing the events surrounding
'University Tuesday' Mr. Shannon asserted that,
in spite of student pressure from the
demonstration, the purpose of the committee
had not altered from being primarily concerned
with academic factors of growth.

"Academics are its main concern; because if
this committee doesn't deal with it who will?
he stated.
