MPR’s Dan Olson reports on rally sponsored by the Coalition for Child Care, held to call attention to need for childcare for students and university workers.

Speaker Kathy Kelly says the single most helpful change for this campus is the establishment of low-cost high-quality childcare centers. A group of 200 rally participants, mostly women, marched to Morrill Hall.

Virginia Watkins, president of the Twin Cities chapter of N.O.W. says childcare is one of the main interests of N.O.W., which supported the bill that was passed in Congress but vetoed by President Nixon.

Paul Cashman, University Vice President, talks about the rally, and says various administrative offices have been asked to provide recommendations regarding childcare.
