Dr. Kunkel had written a memo to Dr. Glennen, Agnes Lockett, and a few other people giving them an idea for a future for the Day Care Center. He explained that this memo gave a policy consisting of appropriate faculty and staff and included a majority representation of CSUN to assure the student representation.
