The September 29th Movement will give the public an in-depth look at the Catt Hall situation with a research presentation at 5 p.m. today in the Gallery Room of the Memorial Union.

The presentation will be the same one shown at last Wednesday’s meeting between the Iowa State administration and Movement representatives, said Brian Johnson, Movement spokesman.

“We’re going to give the exact presentation that we gave to President Jischke last week. We’re not going to discuss what happened at the meeting, but we’re just going to give the presentation,” he said.

“This is going to be the most comprehensive presentation we’ve ever given to the public on Catt Hall,” Johnson said.

Vice President for Student Affairs Thomas Hill, who attended the April 22 meeting, gave the presentation a good rating and agreed that its showing does not violate the guidelines agreed upon by the two parties.

“I think it’s a good presentation. They did a good job,” he said.

“It’s not being done for the media,” he added. “The guidelines just said that before either side goes to the media, it will be agreed upon by both sides.”

After The Movement presents its findings, the audience will be allowed to ask questions, but Johnson said the subject matter will be limited.

“If people ask questions about the meeting, we’ll have to tell them that we can’t answer them without the administration’s prior approval,” he said.

This restriction stems from the guidelines for the meeting, which prohibited both sides from discussing the meeting in detail. Also, the rules forbid the release of any information to the media that has not been deemed suitable by both The Movement and the administration.

The event is sponsored by the Ames Branch of the NAACP, the Black Faculty and Staff of ISU, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., the Ronald E. McNair Achievement Program, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the United Christian Campus Ministry.

“We hope the Ames and ISU community will join in what we hope will be an informative and productive discussion,” said George Jackson, president of the Ames NAACP, in a statement to reporters.
