The Committee, explained Dean Arthur R. Warnock, secre tary, decided that it was not in the interest of the College to make an exception to the rule on student political parties and poli tical action organizations. These groups at present are not fully recognized by the College, but are granted use of some campus facil ities for meetings. YPCA, Dean Warnock added. was asking for full recognition as a student organization with the understanding that it would not engage in partisan political acti vity. Most people, he said, would not understand the YPCA posi tion and the College's recognition, especially as this is a campaign year. A request for full recognition was not granted when YPCA first applied in December. Grounds for withholding recognition were the same rules that Senate now is un willing to modify.
