Banquet laughter
By BILL SNIFFEN and LYNDA SMITH Stuart Writers
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said last night that he expected charges would be filed soon against the demonstrators who spoke in a speech by William Shockley Thursday.
Dykes said that there were two factors involved—whether individual students in the demonstration could be identified, and whether they violated any University of Kansas regulations.
Charges could be filed by anyone, Dykes said, "not necessarily the administration."

Gov. Robert F. Bernett, Chancellor Archie R. Dykes and Ed Rolfs, student body president, spoke about the benefits and need for support of higher education to a crowd of 550 persons at the Higher Education Week Banquet last night.
BENNETT said the public's lack of enthusiasm would be the biggest problem in getting legislators to continue to consider new legislation as priority in upcoming budget hearings.
Teh 60 days left before the beginning of the 1978 session of the Kansas Legislature can best be spent building public support for higher education, Bennett told the crowd of students, faculty, legislators and members of the Board of Regents.
"This is no time to shortchange the state. It's no time to shortchange the state of engineers when we're in the midst of an energy crisis. It's no time to shortcharge the state of agriculturalists when were in the midst of a food shortage." Bennett said.
The crowd applauded Bennett's remarks about the priority of higher education in Kansas and his pledge to push for most of the net requests submitted by the Regents.
"It is the repository of our national heritage, the source of our intellectual progress and society's only institution that provides us with a critical thinking as a way of life," he said.
Dykes also stressed the importance of continued support of higher education.
Higher education needs continued support he said.
over—in better health care, improved education at all levels, in the conservation of energy, but especially in the unquamoral realm, in the enrichment of the human spirit," be said.
Rofs said that higher education was essential for the future.
Dykes called higher education the special sanctuary of reason and reflection. /
"Higher education is not a pressing need, in that its expense cannot be totally justified in tangible units of production," he said, "but rather, it is a vital need in that it examines and charts the long-range course society in which we will live and prosper."
"IT IS SOMETIMES that no state can afford the luxury of higher education, but, in truth, no state can afford to do so because of a lack of higher education returns many, many times
Bennett presented the University's bicentennial flag to W. Stitt Robinson, chairman of the University of Kansas Bicentennial Committee. Robinson spoke about the University's plans for commemorating the nation's 200th birthday.
The University was officially recognized as a bientemcal campus and various academic units.
THE BICENTENNIAL Universities Program, Robinson said, is intended to recognize American colleges for their past influence on the nation and to encourage continued contributions to society by the academic community.
The Higher Education Leadership Prize was presented to Henry Bubb, member of the Board of Regents. According to Dykes, the award was in recognition of Bubb's accomplishments in teaching and brief about the "incentive system" as a base for America's greatness.
Eileen Greenawalt, administrative assistant to the chancellor, and Robert Foster, director of bands, were recognized as part of the university's Higher Education Service Awards.
Mark Pennington, Bogue junior, received the Rusty Leifel Outstanding Leadership Award. The award is given to a student who has demonstrated concern for furthering the ideals of the University and higher education.
But Dykes wouldn't rule out the possibility that the administration would file charges.
William Balfour, vice chancellor for student affairs, said he assumed that if any charges were filed, the protesters would be charged with a violation of Section C, paragraph 1 of the Student Code of Rights, and Responsibilities, which reads:
"A STUDENT who intentionally causes a substantial disruption or obstruction of (a) teaching, research, administration, management, or university activities; or (b) other authorized, permitted, or constitutionally protected activities on University premises, including employment, recruitment and training; or (c) a suspension not greater than suspension."
Dykes said charges would be filed through the University Judiciary.
The demonstration was organized by the February First Movement (FFM), named after the first civil rights sit-in Feb. 1, 1960, in Greenbrook, N.C.
FFM spokesman couldn't be reached for comment last night about Dykes'
THURSDAY, a group of about 50 students, most of them black, disrupted a speech given by Shockley in the Military Science building.
Shockley, who espouses the theory that blacks are genetically inferior to whites in intelligence, was escorted off campus by University police.
The crowd moved to Strong Hall, forced
its way into the chancellor's office complex and shouted its protections for about 20 billion dollars.
On Friday about 100 demonstrators, carrying placards and shouting, "The people, united, will never be defeated," the crowd sang. "We are the protest of protests of Shockley's presence here."
The protesters, gathered in front of the union at 11:30 a.m., Friday and marched on the city hall.
A spokesman for the FFF, Austin McEilroy, Port Arthur, Tex. freshman, told the protesters and onlookers at Strong Hall here there to show our disgust to the University."
"The University, when he (Shockley) came, said they didn't know anything about it. But they knew about it beforehand. They are tired of being led to," McErydon said.
Shockley, had been invited to speak here Thursday by the history of science program committee and Sachem, a senior men's honorary society. Invitations to Shockley had previously been canceled by two other campus organizations, the SUA Board and
ACCORDING to Gilbert Brown, a member of FFM, the rescheduling of Shockley's appearance was a result of administrative "double-dealing."
At Friday's demonstration, equal education opportunities and increased faculty representation of minorities were also demanded.

New budget priorities worry administration
The fiscal 1977 budget priorities and the effect of the William Shockley disturbances on that budget are concerns of University of Kansas administrators.
Gov. Robert Bernett said last night that he didn't think the Shockley disturbances were a threat.
Walter Hiersteiner, a member of the Board of Regents, said "Sometimes it is often better to air these issues in the market place and let the people make up their own
"YOU CAN'T make the whole University responsible for what 99 people did," Bennett said. "I don't think it'll have any adverse results."
Hiersteiner said he didn't think the

The crowd-control measures appeared to have worked because the post-game beer-drinking crowd came and went with few problems.
After weeks of problems with large crowds that spilled from taverns and inundated the streets in the 14th and Ohio weeks, Saturday was a welcome relief.
FOLLOWING A REQUEST last week by the Lawrence City Commission that the three taverns close at noon on the days of home football games, the owners submitted a compromise proposal that would give them another chance to tighten and
publicize security measures and avoid problems. The city agreed to try it.
Sgt. Ron Dalquest, Lawrence police department, who was in charge of five officers assigned to the area, said there were no reports of vandalism of any kind.
The taverns involved are the Wagon Wheel Cafe, 507 W. 14th, owned by John Wooden; the Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio St., owned by Ken Wallace; and the Bierstube, 140 Tennessee St., owned by Whit Shea. The Wheel Cafe is centered on the Tile and the 'Hawk'
Dalquet said that there was virtually no beer in the streets and that the crowd was weak.
"You could have counted the number of
(beer) violations on one hand," he said.
He expects a larger crowd this weekend for the Missouri football game here, Wallace said, but he doesn't know if any extra measures would have to be taken.
Wallace said there had still been a good-sized crowd although he estimated it to be about half the size of the crowds that came after the K-State football game.
Shockley events would affect budget considerations.
1975 HOPE Award goes to professor of journalism
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said, however, that he thought the Shockley incident could have a detrimental effect on the budget requests when they reach the Kansas Legislature next year. Dykes compared the situation with similar hurdles to demonstrate that the legislature could be affected by campus unrest.
Mayer Barkley Clark said yesterday that he had spent about two hours talking to the tavern owners, students and politemen in his bar. He said he was well-used with the results of the new measures.
The fence around the Wheel, which had been erected to keep people from pouring into the street, served its purpose, Clark said.
HE SAID that the 300 to 400 patrons inside the fenced-in area were very orderly. The police, who blocked off the streets and watched the area, were able to open them

and leave early because of the lack of problems, he said.
Dykes said, however, the events probably

Clark said he had noticed neither rowdiness nor disrespect for neighboring homes.
"It's all very difficult to determine at this time," he said.
The 1975 HOPE (Honor to an Outstanding Progressive Educator) Award was presented to Pickett at the halftime of the 2014 All-Star-University of Colorado football game.
Calder M. Pickett, professor of Journ-
alism, waited a long time to win the HOPE
award.
Dykes said that the first two items to be presented at the budget hearing would be a request for a 10 per cent merit salary increase in unclassified position salaries (Lawrence campus) and a request for a 12 per cent increase in other operating expenses.
James W. Bibb, director of the state budget division, reviewed KU's budget and recommended that the requested 12 per cent increase be cut to 5 per cent. The 10 per cent merit salary increase was one of few items Bibb left uncut.
A SUPPLEMENTAL request to meet utility costs for the 1976 fiscal year budget will be among the first items presented, and the request from $1,029.010 to $499.590

"I talked to all the police there, and they indicated that it was very, very quiet and
"I DON'T want to sound silly or pretentious but I think that you have to be interesting to keep students from being bored, and students feel that some teachers have more of an interest in helping them," Pickett said.
"R is one of the things I am most proud of." Pickett said Saturday.
Pickett has been a finalist for the HOPE Award five of the past six years. He said that he had first been nominated for the award in 1961.
He said that he had worked hard in the hope that students would become interested in a course and that a good teacher should have enthusiasm for his subject.
Pickett said he didn't know to what he could attribute his success.
The HOPE Award. Pickett said, is the
"It is an award that has so much prestige," Pickett said, "because it is the award that means the most to the students."
Pickett said college students were at an impressionable age and could be influenced by what a teacher did. However, Pickett said, he had learned from his student*
highest honor that students can give a teacher.
An engraved desk set and a check for $100 were given to Pickett by members of the HOPE Award Committee and Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor. Pickett's name will be engraved on a plaque on display in the Kansas Union.
The other finalists for the 1975 HOPE Award were: Allan Cigler, assistant professor of political science; J. Hammond McNish, adjunct professor of business; Dennis Quinn, professor of English, and Lee Young, professor of journalism.
Tom Decourisse, chairman of the HOPE Award Committee, said 451 seniors had voted this year but wouldn't reveal the margin of Pickett's victory.
"I THINK that's what education is," he said. "You learn from the students, too."
