ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL UPHOLDS CALENDAR At a special called meeting Thursday afternoon
the Administrative Council voted unanimously to reaffirm its Tuesday decision to recommend to Dr. Pearson that the year’s academic calendar be maintained as published. Before going into executive session, the Council listened to a presentation from Bill Cornell, Undergraduate Student Government president, requesting dismissal of classes Dec. 15 for the Liberty Bowl football game. At meeting’s end, the Administrative Council issued the following statement:
’’The Administrative Council voted unanimously this afternoon (Nov. 50) to reaffirm its action of November 28 maintaining this year’s academic calendar as published.
’’ATfesolutioiTwas adopte“d, again unanimously, commending Bill Cornell, undergraduate student president, for his presentation relating to this matter before the Council.
’’Further, the Council expressed itself as being gratified with the mature manner in which the students have approached this problem.
’’The Council’s action was based solely on academic considerations. It shares with the students their pride in the University of Miami’s football team.”
Before taking action, the council also was apprised of action of the Faculty Council on Wednesday. Text of a resolution adopted by the Faculty council, as transmitted by Dr. Herman Myers, faculty council chairman, to Dr. Robert Johns, administrative council chairman, read: ’’That we express our sympathy to the student body in their desire, and 2, that the request is, however, inconsistent with previous policy established by the Faculty Council and therefore the Faculty Council feels that it should take no action.” The recommendations voted Tuesday had been approved by Dr. Pearson prior to reaffirmation Thursday.
