Revolutionary Government

George McMillan asked whether
the Student Council was becoming
a "revolutionary government" by
considering such a motion. "Are we
merely going to announce our
decisions from now on?" he asked.

Many attempts, some successful,
were made to amend the motion
and a substitute motion was
presented by Pieter Schenkkan
asking that any student be allowed
car privileges. Mr. Schenkkan
explained that his motion was
merely to find out whether the
Council wanted to become a
"revolutionary government." That
motion was tabled until the
meeting after Christmas vacation.

Mr. Evans reported on some
correspondence he had had with
President Shannon on the matter of
allowing a representative of the
Student Council to attend meetings
with the Board of Visitors.

According to Mr. Evans.
President Shannon informed him
that this decision constituted a
"major policy decision," and would
have to be made by the Board of
Visitors.
