As the news broke about Zinser's resignation, there was a decidedly festive atmosphere on campus. Since only a portion of the first demand—that Zinser resign and a deaf president be named in her place—had been achieved, students began wearing buttons with "3 ˝" on them, signifying that there were only 3 ˝ demands left to go.

While Zinser, Spilman, and some members of the Board were holding a press conference downtown, those on campus were holding one simultaneously. At this one students vowed to stay on campus rather than leave for Spring Break—scheduled to begin that day—to continue the protest until all demands were met.

 

At noon, there was a march to the Capitol Building. Unlike other impromptu marches made previously during the protest, this one was scheduled in advance and permits had been received. It was a day of celebration and many from local and national deaf communities participated. At the Capitol, the crowd was treated to speeches by a variety of people, including Congressman Steve Gunderson. At 7 p.m. there was another rally in the Field House.

 

Greg Hlibok was named "Person of the Week" by ABC News.
