'Worthy Undertaking'

"Take for example the demonstration
we had last semester
over segregated facilities at one
of our meetings. I think that was
a most worthy undertaking and
I would not like to discourage
such demonstrations in any way."

All four of these changes passed
unanimously.

Rick Evans asked the Council
members for a consensus of
opinion on whether the Council
ought, in the future, to make
judgments on the worth of
demonstrations or it should just
be a mechanical job of registering
the protests.

It was decided that the role
of the Council should merely
be to register any demonstration
as long as the rules for student
protests were complied with. Mr.
Evans said that he had been
under some pressure from administration
sources to come to
a decision on the matter.
