University of Virginia Library

500 Women

In other business, Gordon
Calvert moved that the Student
Council give full support for
coeducation at the University. He
said in his motion that a goal of
500 females admitted to the college
by the 1970 session would not
seem unreasonable. His motion
passed with no dissenting votes.

Bud Ogle presented a motion
asking that females residing in
Albemarle County be allowed to
apply to the University for
admission in the 1969-70 session.
Jimmy Miller, chairman of the
coeducation committee of the
Virginia Council on Human
Relations at the University, told the
Council that many women who will
graduate from local high schools
this year would be unable to attend
college this year if they could not
live at home while attending a
university.
