Efforts to exert outside pressure on the Board
of Trustees', decision concerning the Student Bill
of Rights have developed into a "Responsible-
Militancy" campaign by student government'.
Student government leaders are urging all students interested in student, rights to meet with
them Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the UC Maroon.
Room.
At that time an executive committee made up
of the interested students will make further plans
for a seven-point Responsible Militancy program
to get the attention of state legislators, parents and
alumni.
Support Asked
"We really need the help of all the students
in this campaign and at the meeting," Steve Rison,
student body president, said. "Everyone that helps
will be doing a service to students sail over the
country by fighting for rights."
Student Senate debated issues concerning the
campaign at their meeting Monday night. They
drew up a seven-point action plan to get more
support for the Student Bill of Rights to be presented before the Board of Trustees at the Jan. 17
meeting.
Attend Trustees Meeting
The Board will have an open meeting at 2 p.m.
the same day and student government leaders are
asking that students also go to that meeting to
give their vocal support to the Bill of Rights.
Student senators expressed a concensus of
opinion that unless they get full support and enthusiasm for the Bill of Rights from the student
body that their campaign will "probably not have
any effect on the Board of "Trustees.
In proposing the Responsible Militancy campaign Rison pointed out that the regulating actions
and demonstrations were not to be equated with
irresponsibility.
"Organization will be the key word in our
campaign," Rison said.
1,071 To Graduate in January
Approximately r,071 candidates will receive
degrees at the commencement exercises in Finch
Fieldhouse Jan. 27 at 10:30 a.m.
The actual number of candidates may change
before graduation pending completion of graduation requirements by January graduates and approval of the candidates by the Board of Trustees
and the University Senate.
