"We have to press the University until it's falling over backwards," Miss Ansley said.

Asked what he thought the role of the SFAC should be, David P. Wofsy '68, another SDS co-chairman, said:

"You should pressure the University into doing something radical. The University will then say, 'Shhh!' That serves the most important function. It makes students aware that the University cannot respond because of the way it fits into society."

In other action, the SFAC passed a motion encouraging its student members to initiate polls of student opinion on matters before the Council. The polls would be taken after the Council passes a resolution and before the resolution goes to the Faculty.

Such polls, the members reasoned, would give added weight to SFAC resolutions before the Faculty.

Under the motion passed yesterday, polls would also be encouraged before the Council votes on important issues.

The Council voted to table a proposal that would have broadened the University's recently-reaffirmed guidelines on television coverage of Harvard events.

For nearly an hour, the Council debated minor points in the proposal (What does "rally" mean? Does a question period have to be included in a broadcast?).

The proposal, which will be reconsidered at the Council's next meeting on March 26, would have asked the University to replace its present criterion of "balance" and allow non-commercial TV and radio to cover speeches, debates, public meetings and the like "without discrimination on any ground of political content.
