AAC elects Sr. Gannon Sister Ann Ida Gannon, president, was elected vice-chairman of the Association of American Colleges at the organization's Jan. 16 meeting in Minneapolis, Minn. She ls the first sister and the fourth woman to hold the position which, according to precedent, means she will be chairman in 1969.

For mer chairmen include the pres ident of Barnard, Notre Dame, Oberlin, Princeton and the Uni versity of Michigan. Another important outcome of the meeting was the ap proval of the AAUP resolution on rights and freedoms of stu dents. The resolution was prepared by a joint drafting committee representing the American As sociation of University Pro fessors, the U.S. National Stu dent Association, the Associa tion of American Colleges, the National Association of Stu dent Personnel Administrators and the National Association of Women Deans and Counsel ors. It states that Academic in stitutions exist for the trans mission of knowledge, the pur suit of truth, the development of students, and the general well-being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of the academic community, stu dents should be encouraged to develop the capacity for criti cal judgment and to engage ir a sustained and independ ent search for truth. Sister Griffin indicates that the significance of the approv al by the Association is that they look upon themselves as comprising a total community made up of students, faculty and administration. Further more, Sister believes that the Association possesses the men tality to seek consensus among all three on all matters of academic life.
