Inauguration
Boycott
Scheduled;
Lakeside
Vigil
Planned
An ad hoc students’ group
has finalized plans for a
boycott of President Perkin-
son’s inauguration tomorrow
morning.
Students interested in par
ticipating in the boycott
should gather on the shore of
Lake Moore tomorrow mor
ning around 10:45. The
ceremonies begin at 11:00.
The intent of the boycott
leaders is that the affair be
quiet and non-disruptive.
The purpwse of the boycott is
to protest the recent decision
to deny art profe^or Mark
Smith in a concrete, visible
manner. The idea was ori
ginated in the Senate
established Nuisance Com
mittee, so called because it
was set up to look for avenues
of protest outside channels
when action by the Senate in
channels proved ineffective.
The plans for the boycott,
which has been under
■ discussion for two weeks,
were finalized at a meeting
held in Orange Hall Tuesday
night at which oVer 125
students attended and ex
pressed their views. The
meeting itself was a con
sequence of the Senate’s
refusal to sponsor the boycott
at its Monday night meeting
after numerous senators
- reported insufficient support
for the boycott in their dorms
to allow them to vote for it in
good conscience as represen
tatives of their dorms. An ad
ditional consideration was the
fear that for the Senate to
sponsor a poorly attended
boycott would be for it to
sacrifice its hard-win
authority and prestige.
Debate on the matter was
lengthy and at times heated,
but in the end the Senate
voted not to sponsor the
boycott by a margin of four to
one. (See ‘How They Voted’,
this page).
