Shockley ...
From page one
"If people in the administration can't handle people the way they should be handled, we want a new administration," McEliroy said.
The FFM also called for more representation of minorities and less presentation of administrative views in the Kansan.
"You see in the UDK something everyday about beer, about dogs, but you never see anything about black people," McEllroy said. "You don't see anything about Iranians, Mexicans, or any other minority. And we want to be represented in the UDK just as much as we're here on this campus." For example, she asked me, women, read a letter on behalf of other black staff and faculty members about Shockley's appearance at KU.
She said that the organizations who invited Shockley here Thursday "neither ignored, or gave no forethought to the potential negative impact his appearance on black students and staff specifically in the University generally."
SHE SAID Shockey's appearance could have resulted in the destruction of what had been accomplished in the area of mutual racial compatibility.
Referring to the original cancellations of Shockley's appearance here, Ennis said the University had put forth a "good faith effort."
But because Shockley did come, "Black students, faculty and staff, in fact, have a lot to do with the way they learn."

Research in Shackley's KU appearance.
Brown said that the white "ruling class", from the time of slavery to today, promoted racist ideas to exploit blacks. Shockley, he said, is a "raucke" for that ruling class.
Del Shakel, executive vice chancellor,
told the protesters that the administration
supported their efforts to obtain more black
other minority faculty at the University.
"WE COMMITTED to trying to do this," Shankel said. "We are anxious to meet with your representatives to discuss your concerns.
"We recognize your right to demonstrate peacefully and freely, and we support that right. We thank you for the responsible action." We were displayed here today." Shankel said.
After Shankel's statement, Brown told the crowd he doubted Shankel's sincerity because the administration had overlooked him. When Shockley was invited to speak here.
Conforming to warnings by McElroy "not to start something," the demonstrators protested peacefully, according to Mike Thomas, director of KU police and parking.
"The demonstration was without in-
clent," Thomas said. "Everything went exactly as we had been told it would."
Thomas said one of the participants in the demonstration had come to his office at about 9 a.m. Friday and told him exactly what the demonstrators planned to do.
"I was assured the demonstration would be peaceful and it was." Thomas said.
Ed Rolfs, president of Sachem, said that Sachem's invitation to Shockley wasn't publicized because Sachem was a private organization. "There there wasn't any effort to keep it secret."
"SAHEM HIM apologize for inviting him to speak. The first and foremost goal of a university is the free flow of ideas. Any student who complains should help the institution's purpose." Rafa said.
Shockley was to speak to Sachem Thursday afternoon. The group had also invited between 10 and 15 faculty members to the meeting because, according to Rolfs, Shockley was one of the few people wouldn't have been competent to judge the mottle of Sachem's opinions and ideas.
Sachem is a recognized student organization and, according to Article 9 of the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities, such groups can invite any speaker they choose to invite, Rofls said. Rofls said the University had nothing to
Rolfs said the University had noting to do with Sachem's invitation to Shockley.
During Friday's demonstration, Shankel statement about the Shockley appearance.
"We believe that the basic freedom of speech must be protected, and that individual speakers and teachers must have the right to express their views even when these views are controversial," the statement said.
The statement also said, "At the same time, we are concerned about the lack of sensitivity which (Shockey's) invitation has to a group of students of a significant group of our students.
"We personally find Professor Shockley's theories distasteful and lacking in scientific credibility, and we believe we share some understanding of the response that his appearance has caused us to our own conscience," felt that his presence on this campus was an insult to them."
Shankel cited the many programs oriented towards minority students, including the office of affirmative action, the office of minority affairs, Supportive Educational Services and efforts made to hire minority student recruiters.
But Balfour said that because of its predominantly white student population, the University's efforts towards racial equality were sometimes "lackadaisal."
Bonnie Patton, director of the office of Bonnie Patton labels and programmed it to help solve the problem.
But she said, "They may get attention.
And sometimes that's necessary."
Millions of TV viewers Saturday heard ABC sports commentator Chris Schenkel welcomed them to the color and pageentry of N.C.A.A. college football, when ABC's live television coverage of the Kansas-Colorado game began.
"Sometimes it's necessary to hit the old bone in the head to get his attention," she added.

It's nothing new. Football games have been televised for years. The instant replay, the slow-motion shots and the split screen, which allows viewers to see two different teams in real time, are all parts of a televised game that sports fans have come to take for granted.
To give the audience what it has come to expect, however, takes an extraordinarily efficient effort by an ABC team 32 students from the University of Camerun and, of course, announcers.
Preparations for the game here began on Thursday afternoon when the equipment trucks and the mobile control unit arrived. Technicians immediately picked the best places for them to use the cameras and then moved them to the control truck with hundreds of feet of cable.
Every man on the team must be able to communicate with every other member of the team. This is done by the local telephone company. The telephone company also was responsible for hooking up the equipment that transmitted communications to the rest of the country.
Friday afternoon the producer, the director and announcer Lee Grosscup arrived to tape two segments for inclusion in The Big Bang Theory. Coach Bud Moore and one with Chancellor
By Friday evening, most of the equipment and communication lines were ready for the broadcast. The control unit and a smaller truck containing the slow motion equipment sit side-by-side near the entrance to the press box on the west side of the stadium.
Archie R. Dykes and David Shapiro, Student Senate sports committee chairman. Individual shots of p'ayers from both teams were also tapped.
Another important part of the ABC operation, the graphics room, had been set up in a room inside the stadium. It consisted mainly of a TV camera that was trained on a black board where information such as players' names and team statistics was placed. The camera relayed the picture of the board to the control unit. There, by an open door, you could see words and numbers only were superimposed on the TV screen during the game.
Saturday morning was spent making final checks on the equipment. Cameramen practiced following play action by televising the play of a group of students on the field who had been hired for that purpose.
Two hours before kickoff the pre-game show was rehearsed.
Grosscup looked seriously into the
hand of one of the teams going to a bowl game.
of one of the teams going to a bowl game.
"The team that wins here today stands a good chance of winning a trip to the Toilet Bowl in Flushing, New York," Grosscup said in his best broadcast voice.
The director in the control grimaced. Seconds later one of the main monitors in the control room turned a vibrant shade of orange.
"what the hell's goin' on here," the
director director asked as he fiddled with
his gun.
In the announcing booth during the game, the atmosphere was almost as relaxed and informal as it looks and sounds on TV. Schenkel and Grosscup bantered back and forth with each other and members of the crew and they showed genuine enthusiasm for their work. One could tell they were enjoying themselves.
intricate game
The control unit, however, filled with tension and the sound of doom of decisions before they were made.
At the main control console, facing a wall covered with about 20 TV monitors, sat the director, the producer and the technical director. They are the men that make a sports broadcast come together in the way the audience sees it.
"I have 164 ways to bungle the show sitting in front of me," the technical director said Saturday, referring to the number of controls at his console.
ABC coordinator Gary Ponser said he liked the excitement and the challenge of the work and he enjoyed the opportunity of meeting new people in every town.
