University of Virginia Library

Dear Sir:

At the risk of sounding paranoid
I would like to take issue with Mrs.
Shannon's selection of
co-hostesses for the open house
at Carr's Hill April 22.

I realize Mrs. Shannon is an
alumna of Sweet Briar College and
thus can best contest to the social
training and grace of the Sweet's
girls. I do feel, however, that UVa
coeds too could have handled the
punch-pushing without ,alas,
distracting from the gentility of
such an occasion. Had Mrs. Shannon
selected Virginia coeds such as
favorite son, or rather daughter,
patronage could have helped
support the University
Community's move toward
recognition and even acceptance of
coeducation at the University.
