Indian Students at Bemidji State Protest Dorm Rules
About 30 Indian students met with Bemidji State College President R. D. Decker to press three demands over dormitory life and discrimination. The group sought reinstatement for Diane Brown, abolition of the dormitory rule for Indian students, and an all Indian Student Conduct Appeals Committee. Decker partially granted relief by delaying Brown’s suspension pending a state board decision on the dormitory exemption. The college plans an ad hoc Indian conduct committee and will test the board’s May 21-22 meeting in Marshall.
