Move ROTC

Walker Chandler then moved
"that we request the three ROTC
units and all armed forces recruiters
here at the University to move their
activities off the Grounds at least
until the Selective Service System is
abolished." Mr. Chandler added
that he felt that it was Council's
responsibility to the students to
fight the draft in any way possible.

After much debate, Mr. Mannix
presented a substitute motion "that
an ROTC Study Committee be
formed to report to Council next
fall with recommendations for
improvements, if any, in the program."
This motion passed, which
automatically canceled Mr. Chandler's.
