No Repudiation

Mr. Roebuck said that Mr.
Wheatley had not fulfilled the condition
of the motion asking him to
repudiate and must therefore be
asked to resign from the Board.

Tom Slater said that he was
hesitant to ask for Mr. Wheatley's
resignation because by "pushing
him into a corner" the Council
might cause some sort of unfavorable
reaction.

Henry Doggrell then moved that
"Mr. Wheatley has substantially repudiated
the principles behind massive
resistance."

Mr. Roebuck stated that Mr.
Doggrell's utterance didn't seem
like a motion to him.

Walker Chandler said that it was
a motion, a motion to drop the
whole subject. Mr. Chandler then
asked Mr. Murdock if the entire
Student Council could be thrown
out of the University for lying if
they passed Mr. Doggrell's motion.

Rob Kurtz said that it was only
fair to wait for Mr. Wheatley's
letter before taking any further
action.

Kevin Mannix said he felt that
the Council has been fair to give
Mr. Wheatley four weeks to
respond. He said he thought they
should take immediate action and
not wait any longer.

However a motion by Charles
Majors to table Mr. Doggrell's
motion for a week was passed and
Mr. Hickman ruled that ended
the discussion, in spite of Bud
Ogle's protests to the contrary.

Mr. Hickman reported that all
of the Student Council motions
concerning the Board of Visitors
were still being considered by the
Board's various committees and
that no results were announced at
the Fredericksburg meeting.
