The Legislature Speaks

The state senate pressured the board to rescind the decision on the DuBois Club under threat of budgetary implications for the university; the governor supported the board. Letters poured into the president’s office, and Henry asked Millet to delay implementation of the decision. A bill to repeal the Clabaugh Act was introduced in the legislature and easily defeated. A campus Committee to End the War was formed. At the University of Wisconsin a Dow Chemical campus recruiter drew protests. The chapter also examines a little-known Illinois connection with Dow’s napalm product.
