We the undersigned of Rutgers, College of South Jersey feel that we cannot support the activities of any student (or student group) that attempts to secure demands upon the administration or university without first using the proper channels.
We cannot support any pressure group which attempts to secure special priviledges for itself; which are not to be enjoyed by the entire student body.
We specifically refer to the B.S.U.M. We feel that if their entire program is adopted it would result in a discriminatory policy; that would in fact, discriminate against a majority of the students.
We will support only those policies which consider all members of the student body rather than a minority group. - Language
