Loyola News: Demonstrate for Student Charter, Eighty in Rights March

A photo appears on the front page of the Loyola News, depicting students marching with large signs on a snowy street between buildings at Loyola's Lewis Towers campus. One sign depicts two people and the words "Loyola has a chance for Catholic LEADERSHIP." The headline reads "Demonstrate for Student Charter, Eighty in Rights March." The article discusses the student demonstration that took place to protest the "latest administration 'veto' of the Students' Rights Charter and the further extension of arbitr[ary] censorship of the NEWS.
Marching in twenty -degree cold, singing 'the Rights shall go through' to the tune [of] 'We Shall Overcome' the ma[rch]ers carried placards re[?]ing among other things, 'Neu[tral] Grey Editorials Lead to Neu[tral] Grey Individuals'". The protests remained peaceful, and was led by representatives of the Rights Charter Committee and the Loyola News.
