University of Virginia Library

'Unconstitutional'

Many attackers of the bill, including state
senator Peter Babbalas (D-Norfolk) said that
the first time the bill is brought before a court
it will probably be declared unconstitutional.

While not directly aimed at the University
many observers feel that the bill is a direct
result of last May's disturbance. Mr. Hodges
remarked that "had this bill been in force two
years ago, the University of Virginia would be
the equal of Washington and Lee."
