1326 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [December 17 USE O F UNIVERSITY PREMISES FOR ADDRESSES BY CANDIDATES FOR PUBLIC OFFICE (17) On December 3, 1951, the University Senate approved for transmission to the Board of Trustees the following resolution concerning political speakers: "Resolved: That the Senate of the University of Illinois favors the use of university buildings, grounds, and facilities by or on behalf of candidates for nomination or election to state or national offices, subject to the following regulations : "1. The speaker shall be a member of a political party having legal status in the State of Illinois. "2. The speaker shall be sponsored by a recognized student organization, a faculty group, or a University Department." This resolution was discussed fully at the meeting of the University Senate and was passed by an overwhelming majority. This matter has come before the Board previously, at the request of the Student Senate, representative of all undergraduate students at Urbana-Champaign, in essentially the same form.1 It is clear from these actions of the student and faculty bodies that it is not the intention to use University buildings for political purposes, but for the enlightenment of students and staff members with respect to state and national issues. I know the attitude of the faculty well enough to state that it is solidly opposed to any form of political interference with policy-making or administration in the University of Illinois. I concur in the recommendation of the University Senate. If the Board approves, I shall seek the advice of the Institute of Government and Public Affairs on the occasion of each such address, but final approval would rest in the office of the President of the University. On motion of Mr. Hickman, this recommendation was disapproved. Mrs. Watkins voted "no" on this motion. Messrs. Livingston and Megran asked to be recorded as not voting.
