On Demonstrations

Demonstrations and picketing by student groups are under
the jurisdiction of the Student Council and must conform to
Council rules and regulations, which provide:

• a. Notice of a demonstration must be filed with the Student
  Council office 96 hours in advance.

• b. Only organizations recognized by the Student Council
  may sponsor demonstrations on the University Grounds.

• c. Picketing is not permitted inside buildings.

• d. Outside picketing must not be carried on so as to interfere
  with entrance traffic or the normal flow of pedestrian
  and vehicular traffic.

• e. Precise boundaries and number of those picketing will
  set by agreement among the Student Council, Department
  of Security, the organizations involved, and those
  in charge of any building specifically involved.

• f. Lack of substantial compliance with these rules and
  regulations or failure to register will result in a reconsideration
  of recognition by Student Council for noncomplying
  organizations.

It also seems appropriate to emphasize the rules of conduct
for students set forth in University of Virginia catalogues as
