Expansion

According to Mr. Chabot, students were
"left with the general impression that the
pressure was coming from Pavilion VIII and
nowhere else." He also remarked, "I was left
with the general idea that expansion isn't
inevitable, provided that we handle certain
things correctly."

College representatives also discussed the
issue of a possible spring strike with members
of the General Assembly. Mr. Chabot stated,
"Every delegate that 1 talked to, regardless of
their philosophical outlook, was convinced that
should anything occur that in any way
resembled what happened last spring, there
would be a reaction from Richmond that would
not be in any way complacent."

He continued, "Right or wrong, the
legislature is not going to let it appear that
they're going to stand by and let the University
close down each spring."
