This Day in 'U' History

Sept. 8, 1965 - High University housing prices drove about 200 student protesters into the Diag yesterday at about noon.

Later that night, several student representatives met with administrators to discuss what many students say are unaffordable prices for University housing.

Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Cutler has agreed to start working today to establish a student advisory committee to participate in planning future housing projects.

The rally, organizers say, was in essence preparation for the meeting later that night, intended to give the students' cause maximum leverage.

The group agreed to present their demands to the business and finance offices this week and asked that an administrator publicily acknowledge the receipt of the students 'requests.

If the administration does not respond within a week, students will vote on what course of action to take Friday.

Another rally will be held today at noon on the Diag to try to drum up additional support for the movement.
