Abstract

Three resolutions, one proposing that money spent on graduation caps and gowns be instead devoted to the cause of peace, the second stating the University's commitment to remaining open by whatever means possible, to setting up a center for open-forum education, and that grading policies for the present quarter be communicated by separate colleges quickly. The final draft resolution sets forward a call for a restructuring of University Senate.
