io54 BOARD O F T R U S T E E S LMay 22 MINUTES APPROVED The Secretary presented the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Trustees of March 23, 1956, press proof copies of which have been sent to all members of the Board in advance. On motion of Mr. Johnston, the minutes were approved as printed on pages 971 to 1006, inclusive. REQUEST FROM STUDENT SENATE President Megran read a letter received by the Secretary of the Board from the President of the Student Senate requesting the Board of Trustees to reexamine its stand on the present policy of not permitting use of University buildings and grounds for political purposes and specifically for meetings in connection with political addresses. Copies of this letter had previously been supplied to all members of the Board and a copy is filed with the Secretary for record. President Megran asked Mr. Johnston, as Chairman of the Committee on General Policy, to comment on this request. Mr. Johnston reviewed the previous consideration given to three similar requests within the past six years. On each occasion the Board decided that the present policy be continued, with the exception that last year, on recommendation of the Committee on General Policy, the existing policy was modified to the extent of permitting candidates for the office of President and/or Vice-President of the United States to use University premises to appear in person to make political addresses. It was the consensus of the Board that the present modified policy should stand until some experience has been had with it. The Secretary was instructed to inform the President of the Student Senate that the Committee on General Policy will continue to study the matter and that the Student Senate may submit anything it wishes in writing to that Committee.
