Never Accepted

Mr. Ogle admitted yesterday that he had not
replied affirmatively but said that he thought
that such a reply was not expected. He
explained that he felt a letter sent by the
Council to Messrs, Rogers and Hereford, among
others, made it clear the body desired its
officers to attend the meeting as invited.

The Council letter was sent to the officials
in place of a letter from Mr. Ogle that would
have actually rejected the invitation. The
President's letter stated that the Council was
extremely dissatisfied with the Board's efforts
to communicate with students, implying that
the Board paid no attention to student opinion
anyway.

The letter sent did express Council's
dissatisfaction, but the actual motion concerning
the two letters said that "the Student
Council ask the President and Vice-President to
attend the meeting."

Mr. Ogle said that, since the minutes of the
Council meetings are sent to the Visitors and to
Mr. Hereford, it should have been clear that the
Council desired its officers to attend the
meeting and, thus, that the two did indeed
intend to go.
