The forum- which is being called a "teach-in"- is being organized by Polity and, according to Polity Secretary Belina Anderson, will also include Robert Francis, vice-president for Campus Operations and Fred Preston, vice president for Student Affairs and the one assigned to implement the plan. It will be held in H-Quad Cafeteria at 8:30 PM. At the Monday meeting, Polity warned that some k type of student demonstration would be organized if no justification for the plan in found. The representatives- many of whom were legislature chairmen- met with members of the Polity Council and Senate for the sole purpose of dealing with the new policy, which they've coined "The Marburger Plan." Many stated that they felt student outrage at the plan is widespread and hasn't subsided since the plan was announced by Marburger last Monday.
