Student Demands Received Action The SAVITAR now presents the University year 1966-67, a year of change. Dr. john C. Weaver became the 14th president of the University as student enrollment reached 18,669 on the Columbia campus. During his first year, he sought to unite the four campuses. New in- stallations which aided in the advancement of stu- dent knowledge included the Physics Building and the Mental Health Center. The faculty recognized the maturity of its stu- dents by abolishing the negative hours policy. Pre- viously students who cut class 48 hours before or after a vacation period were forced to accumulate added hours to receive their degree. AWS sponsored a bill sent to the administration recommending that senior key privileges be extended to junior and sophomore undergraduates. Under the plan, these women would be allowed to check out keys to their living units when planning to return after hours. Chancellor Schwada announced that the senior key privilege would be given to junior women next fall. Amid promises of a new fieldhouse and criticism for the Tigeris disastrous basketball record, Bob Vanatta retired from coaching. He planned to remain in another position with the Athletic Department. Football coach Dan Devine was named as successor to retiring Athletic Director Don Faurot. The conservative attitude of the University was disturbed by student demands. Minority groups made themselves heard for the first time through peace vigils and marches protesting CIA recruiting on campus. Members of SDS fought for the recognition of Local 45 as an organized union by the University. After threats to discontinue all services except to the Medical Center, the University agreed to com- promise and to recognize the union. The Columbia Free Press returned to publication only to be forced off the streets by campus and city police. The news- paper was finally allowed to sell at one location on campus.
