I did not feel any personal insult Monday mornizy\. I realizéd
that the students desired a holiday and while I understood their
feelings about this matter, I felt that I would not have been \
true to myself if I had not expressed my view of the situation
at that time. A \ { \

PREY \ ie

I am strong for the students at the University of Ke\nsas and as ). |
far as I am concerned they are ace-high with me jnow .wnd ever. Les
I was disappointed in their lack of respect for the Chancellor.  \
Any little discourtesy that they might have shown to i\e made no -
aifferencee I feel sure that the students would have \sed their \
better judgement and would not have behaved as thay dic\ if they
had been more adequately informed of the true import of sit-down
strikes. \ :
