University of Virginia Library

Major Issues

Three major issues will be covered in the
conference: the problem of future
communications between legislators and
students, the considerations of minority
opportunities and how they should be
implemented, and the role of students in the
decision-making process of universities.

Thomas A. Schultz, a law student at the
University, will present student views on
communications in a panel discussion. Hunter
B. Andrews will speak about legislators'
opinions on the subject.

The panels which are presenting their
opinions on the three issues will be made up of
students, administrators and legislators, so as
not to give a biased view of the problems, Mr.
Botsford said.

The presidents of Hollins and VCU will sit
on the panels, giving both private and public
institutions' views.

Ten workshops are scheduled for Friday and
will deal with communications and lawful
dissent. Workshop moderators will then present
their findings to the Grand Assembly.

That evening the keynote address will be
given by Terry Sanford, president of Duke
University and former governor of North
Carolina.

Discussion of minority opportunities and
the role of students in the decision making
processes of higher education will take place
during Saturday's session.

There will be 21 students delegated from the
University. Among them are Thomas Mason,
Kevin Mannix, Mary B. Smith, Ken Ross, Phil
Chabot, Brian Siegel, Richard Hichman, Joe
Norton, Craig Hopson and King Golden.

Other members are Larry Sabato, Jim
Rinaca, John Petty, Dan West, Pat Cloonan,
Mary Alice German, Thomas Philips, William
Huyett, Hugh Antrim, Charles W. Hill and Ray
Smith. These students represent most of the
schools in the University.
