University policies concerning speakers on campus, faculty requirements and student standards were expressed Friday afternoon by Pres. Ernest L. Wilkinson at a question-answer session with students at the Wilkinson Center Memorial Lounge.
In response to a question posed by one of several hundred students in attendance, Pres. Wilkinson explained that BYU has no set number of speakers representing any particular race or sect.
Three Negro speakers from a list of six he submitted have been authorized to speak this year by the Board of Trustees, and that number was deemed sufficient, Pres. Wilkinson added. He said that his job is to carry out the policies established by the Board of Trustees. . . .
