For the past few years, students have been working hard to open admissions to Blacks, women, and poor whites. However, there are still many in the Administration who want to restrict admissions to "qualified" people. An anti-expansion campaign that ignores the admissions question could well play into their hands.

The question of fair admissions is intimately tied to the problem of expansion. Unless students recognize this, the Administration can manipulate this campaign in an attempt to keep the University closed to the marjority of this state's population.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Oct. 7, 1972 (AP)-Virginia Governor Linwood Holton today assured a delegation of Charlottesville Blacks that their relocation camp would soon be provided with sewage facilities. The Governor said that he sincerely regretted the inconvenience of relocation caused by University expansion. The Governor reportedly told the group that they would recieve attention immediately after the student campsite on the University Lawn received its facilities.

"It is the ultimate hope of the state," the Governor later told newsmen, "to actually provide wooden floors for tents in the relocation camps." Another three thousand residents of Charlottesville's poverty areas were displaced last month as the University began construction of a new football practice field.
