Hon. LL.D Protest

Hon. LL.D Protest

Sir,—Whatever its merits, last Tuesday's protest demonstrates a very important weakness in our student body. The public holds all students responsible, despite the fact that the protesting group was very small and had no official backing. Considering the importance of the issue, the students' association should have made its position clear to news media when the controversy first began to reduce possible incrimination at a later stage. Failing this, prompter and fuller action as soon as the issue became public may have alleviated our troubles somewhat.

Let the association learn its lesson and prepare in advance on public relations issues as vital as this.
