...from the action taken by the Dean in charge of student activities in denying the Committee to Save O.P.A. permission to use the steps of Widener for its rally Wednesday, extra-curricular organizations would be justified in pressing for a more sympathetic guardian. If, on the other hand, Dean Duhig was merely acting as a spokesman for University policy, as he occasionally claimed, the issue is one which has been frequently raised and often settled, but apparently never made clear to all who might be concerned...

To our minds that is not an adequate excuse for the conduct of a great educational institution. Accepting this fact, however, we urge the University...
Preferring to hold an open air meeting in the Yard at a time and place at which the student body would find it most convenient to assemble, the Committee will make a last attempt this afternoon to get Dean Duhig's consent to use Widener's steps as a platform...
