'Pertinent discussions' held for two days

KU administrators retreat
The mystery of the loss of academic administrators from the campus last Wednesday and Thursday has been solved.
Francis H. Heller, acting Provost and Dean of Faculties, said 20 KU administrators were bussed to the Elms Hotel at Excelsior Springs for an academic retreat.
Those included were Chancellor Laurence Chalmers Jr., Council of Deans, the Director of Libraries, the Director of the University Extension, the Director of the Computation Center, the Academic Deans and the three assistant Dean of Faculties.
Heller said the academic retreat idea was not new to the KU campus. Chalmers saw the need for a similar retreat with a similar group of administrators when he first arrived on campus prior to the fall semester of this year. Initiative for this particular retreat, said Heller, was suggested about six weeks ago by the Council of Deans.
Round - the - clock discussion from noon Wednesday to late Thursday afternoon included a broad range of topics and was of concern to all in attendance, Heller said. Assessment of the present state of the University and the prospects before it were of major priority.
Heller said it is almost impossible to accomplish pertinent discussion while at the University proper. Administrators are regularly called out of meetings at
five minute intervals and with such interruptions a steady train of thought to the discussion topic is next to impossible, Heller said.
For this reason, a retreat seemed necessary, said Heller, and it proved to be a very useful and worthwhile experience.
Six veterans related Vietnam experiences
Six Vietnam war veterans related their experiences to 40 KU students Friday as part of the December moratorium.
The Student Mobilization Committee sponsored the four hour meeting in the Kansas Union. "They didn't discuss any controversial issues about the war—such
as whether it was right or wrong. Each just told about his experiences," said John Krebs, Wichita senior and SMC member.
One of the ex-G.I.'s had been a Green Beret and others had spent most of their time on bases and not in actual combat, Krebs said.
