Not A Retreat

To clear up any
misunderstanding anyone might
have had it ought to be pointed out
that the Virginia 5 were and are not
connected with the University
Republicans. They acted on their
own. The University Republicans
support their actions but did not in
any way instigate them. Though the
Chairman of the University
Republican Club was involved as
one of the five, some members of
the five do not belong to the
University Republican Club. As a
matter of fact it now appears that
only two will be brought up before
the Judiciary Committee. When the
University Republican was printed
this was not known. This letter in
no way is meant as a retreat from
our open support for the people
who waved the Stop Expansion
banner but is meant to clear up the
misconception that some may have
had. Those who waved the Stop
Expansion banner at Scott Stadium
are individuals and their actions
were in no way connected with the
Republican club here.
