The Undergraduate Council passed Sunday night between its discussion of such lofty issues as the morality of University investments South Africa and the naming of a chair at Kennedy School to allocate 20s to Princeton University--for a first class postage stamp.
The Council passed the resolution to ease the workload of Princeton Dean of Admissions James W. Wickenden who the Council thought had flown to Florida to personally give model turned actress Brooke Shields news of the verdict on her application to the school.
But it passed out yesterday the Doneld did not have its fact right.

George B. Eager, Director of Communications at Princeton, yesterday defended the University against charges that it had handled Shields' application improperly. Eager said the University had left the final decision up to Wickenden to protest the confidentiality of Shield's application.
The admission office decided to accept Shields only because she is "worthy candidate," Eager said. "It was in no way a frivolous decision," he added.
