reminded him of the demonstrations of the late '60s, although he added that he felt there was considerably less hatred in yesterday's demonstration.
But a person should have the right to argue that matter how controversial they might be.
Shankel he was planning to distribute a statement today to "restate some of our commitments as to the ideals of free speech and sensitivities of all our students."
N. S. HETHERINGTON, assistant professor of history and one of the faculty members who invited Shockley, said that he was very disturbed at what happened, but that he hated to see anyone be stopped by the threats of a few people.
He said he felt a reluctance not to invite sneakers because of a threat of disruption.
"men still believe," she said, "they decided they didn't like." Heatherton said.
Hetherington said he sympathized with the blacks because they had a principle at stake, but said he thought their tactics were counterproductive.
LEWIS McKinney, associate professor of history, said the history of science program he co-founded professors had contributed to hear about Shockley's contributions to science. He also said the history professors would have given instructing questions" to challenge his ideas.
--shouting it down," he said. "If there isn't a free floor, we'd walk as well and we would. And waw, waw."

Ed Rolfs, president of Sachem, said Shockley was invited to speak to Sachem members and several professors. The speech was cancelled because it would have been impossible for him to speak yesterday afternoon, Rolfs said.
Five protesters contacted after the demonstration refused to comment. They did say, however, that another demonstration protesting Shockley's appearance here was scheduled for noon today in front of Strong Hall.
Shockey said that what he regretted most about the demonstration was that the was unable to "warn the black community of the threat facing them."
He said he noticed one or two black disrupers in the crowd who were interested in what he was saying, but the others wouldn't let him speak.
SHOCKLEY SAID that the security when he left the Military Science building was "not as close as it might have been," but "if I had not been there, we were 'just in fun and games.'"
In the 20 speeches he has given this year, Shockley said, this was the first one in which he was actually prevented from speaking.
"The potential hazard was greater here, but the current security was not as great if there were any hidden danger." The night had been

"This is a yielding to force, a yielding to the weight, which not in keeping with the octagon rule."
SUA had scheduled a debate here yesterday between Shockley and Richard Goldsby, a black professor of chemistry and microbiology at the University of Maryland, but canceled the debate Oct. 2 to prevent possible divisiveness between blacks and whites, according to Greg Bengston, SUA president.
"I've been through this before. I don't think it's their fault. I think they're acting in a logical way, in a courageous way in terms of the premises they have to go over." When I first met her, when they got into the act, it was a mob spirit sort of thing. They got carried away."
Another campus organization, KU-Y, also considered inviting Shockley, but ruled out the idea because it thought sponsorship of Shockley might be viewed as contradictory to KU-Y's goal of the elimination of eletric power to Steve Leban, KU-Y board member.
At the KU-Y meeting in which the invitation to Shockley was discussed, three members of the February First Movement, a group that says it opposes racism and imperialism, said they would organized a protest if Shockley appeared on campus.
Ideas vary on student alcoholism
Members of the movement declined to comment when contacted.

Tom is, by his own admission, a student alcoholic.
He said this week that, as a freshman, he would go out at night to drink and would occasionally grab a beer between classes. Later, he said, he found himself drinking more and more between classes. Eventually, he started going to class drunks.
According to Martha Toole, a counselor at the Douglas County Committee on Alcoholism, Inc., alcoholism is a definite problem among young people.
She said that although only about five students had come to the committee's office seeking help, there had been a real growth in the number of problem drinkers in the 18 months.
Toolet said she thought students drank because of peer pressure and the need to escuse herself.
2 commissioners on committee
City Commissioners Marleie Argeringer and Donald Blins were selected yesterday as the two city commissioners for a com-mitigation investigate Lawrence city management.
The committee will also include two citizens at large, who will be selected by the council.
The United Public Employees Associations (UPEA) of Lawrence announced Wednesday that Dennis Smith, president of the Lawrence Sanitation Workers Assn., and Samuels, president of the Picea Fire Department would represent the UPEA on the committee.
She said she didn't expect any difficulties in selecting the private citizen represent-
The UPEA had recommended the committee to the city commission Tuesday, and the commission approved the recommendation.
The committee will investigate 24 charges of mismanagement leveled by the UPEA involving failure to account for the one-half hour of unpaid work that have helped the working conditions of city employees.
Arngersinger said she hoped that a meeting with the UPEA representatives to select the two private citizen representatives would be set up by this weekend.
Argeringer said she hoped the first week committee could take place within a week.
"I don't think there any sense in getting together a committee like this and then making some plans," he said.
Richard Rundquist, director of the University Counseling Center, said he thought drinking among college students was a kind of experimentation.
"A lot of drinking goes on among the population, but it's mostly of growing up.
"I'm not aware of people drinking any more now than in the past. I think it's just reporter's more and talked about more. It's about a kind of kinds of problems, not just alcoholism."
Rundquist said counselors didn't see many people with drinking problems. He said that students with serious problems usually ended at Watkins Hospital and that he had heard of one or two cases of students being treated for delirium tremens.
Delirium tremens, commonly known as the "DTDs", is defined as a form of insanity caused by alcohol poisoning. It is marled by alcohol and hallucinations, among other things.
"At this age, people are still in the process of developing drinking habits," Kerman
Dean Kerkman, clinical psychologist at the Mental Health Clinic at Watkins, said students with alcohol problems had been exposed to alcohol and the extent of the abuse wasn't alarming.
He said student drinking problems are the difficult to define the extent of the abuse.
tundquist said he thought drinking
problems students developed now would continue after they were out of college.
A problem drinker, Kerkman said, is one who lets alcohol interfere with other aspects of his life. He said a student who missed classes because of excessive drinking or suffered memory lapses regularly because of alcohol had a drinking problem.
Some people, he said, start drinking to become more alcoholic and then find that they become socially debilitated.
Raymond Higgins, assistant professor of psychology, said the majority of students who drank were social drinkers. Higgins is working on a study of alcohol use that examines the conditions and motivations for its consumption.
He said college students lived in drinking environment but he said he couldn't define the extent to which alcohol was abused by students.
sure Kirkman said alcoholism was sometimes a sign of other problems, such as depression. The Mental Health Clinic tries to treat the psychological aspects of the problem and also refers patients to Alcoholics Anonymous, he said..
An Alcoholics Anonymous (AAA) spokesman said there had been a definite increase in the number of young people coming to the group's meetings.
The spokesman said that the 15 to 25 age group was the fastest growing group of alcoholics in the country and they were coming to the organization with drinking problems.
--fuel our economy.
In this world there is no perpetual motion. if anything moves, there must be an energy move it make. The energy source of our economy is wealth. So far we have chewed our way through a whole continent of new wealth we took from the Indians and we have gone through several hundred billions in bonds in order to stoke our economic bills. Even our government is priming the pump with another hundred billions of printing press wealth but the well is dry.
The American people today are asking where we are going to get the energy to run our machines. They should be asking where we are going to get the wealth to buy new equipment.
We can no longer fuel our economy by taking wealth from the Indians for we have already taken most all their wealth. Neither can we go on forever printing more bonds for everything in this world has its own price. Bonds are more inflation. Eventually, when we are offered a hundred dollar bond to us where we are going to get the钱 to fuel our economy when wild inflation makes it impossible to create this wealth with the printers press.
