University of Virginia Library

Direct Link

"There was a specific reason for
this recommendation: to establish a
direct link with the Black
community, which link could be
more effectively created by hiring
a Black Admissions Officer. The
urgency of this matter is obvious to
all." The motion passed with little
dissent and a letter was sent to
President Shannon about it.

In other business, Charles
Murdock moved that the Student
Council, as the representative for
the entire student body of the
University, petition the Faculty
Senate to rescind attendance
regulations now applying for the
two days before and after holidays.
That motion passed.
