THE BREEZE, Friday. November 19. 1976 ' *»**r* «*»/ ?t Barbed Wire /^- 4>^>^k> Madison to join Viable Army By Barbara Burch A resolution which enables Madison to join the Viable Liberation Army (VLA) was passed in a 15-14 vote by SGA in a secret meeting held under the quad last week, according to sources close to student government. The resolution was reportedly proposed by the "Bluestone" faction of SGA. said to be the more radical element of the organization. , The VLA has claimed responsibility for many acts of violence on Madison's campus, including the draining of Newman Lake, the vandalism of four trees on the quad, the technical failure of several CPB movies, ana the Average White Band concert. Members of the SGA finance committee, who have openly admitted opposition to the Bluestones, objected KQNG,WY....t^K'SAP50i-Ut^WNOOr^a^WWO to joining the VLA because they believed that the $1 COULP HANlWltt tfAPtriK V£6mVOf\V\ AMIN7* million membership fee was "in essence protection money" to prevent Madison from being the victim of further acts of terrorism by VLA, according to Paul Manning, finance committee chairman.
