Youngblood issued the following staitemient: "The Student Senate has taken a major step, In voicing the student bxxdy's opIinilon in regard to the cur rent administration policy concern ing on-campus speakers. "I cannot agree fully to a change fromt such a stringent policy to no policy at all. In several reapects we have neglected to consider what it is possible to accomplish at this time. The policy has not proven itself to be a speaker 'bain' at all. The orderly sicheduling of speakes and the veryI legality of our University's position cainnit be neglected. For this reasn 'I vetoed the bill." Iaw School tien.
