Southern Illinois University President to hold informal board sessions
Delyto W Morris plans continued informal meetings with the SIU Board of Trustees the evening before regular sessions. Since 1957 a press observer attends, with the 1967 open meeting amendment limiting debate to land and personnel matters and prohibiting action. John C Gardner of the Southern Illinoisan attends Carbondale meetings. Executives from regional papers attend. Morris says they may sue if needed but prefer not.
