Wfith new vigor in their ranks after the resignation of Associated Student Presi- dent Yuji Mitani the previous week, SNP de- cided to stage their protest in the form of a con- current student convocation on the grass to seek a voice in changing institutional policy. Aware of the rising ferment and unrest on cam- pus, among both professors and students, Presi- dent Rust met with interested members of the University community to answer questions and explain the institution's position. Communications were improved by this panel discussion, but the student convocation was still forthcoming.
