Observers

Edgar F. Shannon, Edwin M. Crawford, vice
president for Public affairs, and Carroll A.
Gardner, special assistant to the president, will
attend as observers.

Mr. Botsford said that great efforts were
made to insure the presence of as many
legislators as possible. Letters were seat from
the governor and lieutenant governor inviting
them personally. Major papers in the state
wrote letters endorsing the forum.

Representatives from the steering committee
spoke with the House of Delegates while they
were in session, and Richmond news programs
televised interviews with the students.

Mr. Botsford added that those legislators
who did not reply to the invitations were
contacted personally by student
representatives.
