Hardback Books

With regard to President Shannon's
proposal that the Newcomb Hall
Bookstore be allowed to sell hardback books,
informed sources said that President Shannon
"had the authority to implement action but
wanted the endorsement of the Board because
of long range implications." Specifically those
were involved with the expansion of the
Bookstore.

Kevin L. Mannix, Student Council president,
said that the Board asked the Council "to work
closer with President Shannon and D. Alan
Williams, Vice President of Student Affairs, in
order to resubmit a single proposal at the next
meeting that would incorporate both the Code
of Conduct and the proposal regarding Student
Rights and Accountabilities." The next meeting
of the Board of Visitors is in April.

Mr. Mannix also stated that "no plan was
adopted regarding parietals" but that "There
was still hope for changing parietal hours
through the Office of Student Affairs."
