Council of Deans' meeting and spoke with them.
After about 20 minutes, the group quietly left the office.
Chalmers said after the meeting that the discussion centered on the recruitment of black students and faculty, and the implementation of instructional programs for blacks.
The students had also requested that equal time be allowed for the crowning of a black homecoming queen.
"I said this was not possible," Chalmers said after the meeting, "because selection of the queen and the crowning ceremony represents the total University community. This group involved only a small portion of that community."
He said he expected a black queen to be crowned despite his statement.
Chalmers said he had been presented a list of requests at Friday's meeting with the BSU. He told the group then that he would bring the requests to the attention of the appropriate University officials and reply in ten days to two weeks.

NO FAT IS A DISEASE
LOS ANGELES (UPI)—To adherents of the slimming diet cult, total lipodystrophy, which is the complete absence of fatty tissue in the body, may sound like a dream come true. Hardly. Such a condition is a disease and, fortunately, it is relatively rare.
Dr. Richard L. Wesenberg, Dr. John L. Gwinn and Dr. George R. Barnes Jr., radiologists at the University of Southern California School of Medicine, studied four children with the disease and their x-ray findings showed a striking lack of fat, easily discernible on x-ray film; advanced bone age; over-development of sinuses and mastoids in the skull; and sometimes a slightly larger heart and almost always larger kidneys.
have - to - discuss - it - with - the-other-deans procedure," he said.
Bright said Chalmers agreed to work with two members of the BSU to seek a settlement.
The BSU, Bright said, wanted these students included in every administrative meeting for interpretation, so that none of the demands would be misread.
Bright and Spearman returned to ask the Chancellor for a statement in the next 24 hours concerning the homecoming queen
"Ive given the final word," Chalmers said.
Spearman asked why the Chancellor had gone to the meeting of the deans without notifying the black students.
Chalmers replied that he had not understood the students' request included sitting in on every administrative council which met.
"You have to. We don't want your interpretation and his interpretation and his interpretation," Bright said, pointing to faculty members present in the room. "You might think it was a good program but it still might not be what we wanted."
Bright said after the meeting that the black students were in the process of electing a homecoming queen to be chosen Thursday or Friday.
"We will ask anyone to nominate any black girl who fills this position," he said, explaining the selection process.
Asked if students planned to carry out their own crowning ceremony at the game despite the Chancellor's statement, the BSU president did not comment.
Although he expects black students to sit together at Saturday's game, Bright also did not comment on the statement made at the meeting in Strong Hall concerning those without game tickets.
Nixon rejects hasty pullout

were his alone to make as President.
Speaking midway between nationwide antiwar demonstrations, the President told the nation's youth: "I respect your idealism. I share your concern for peace. I want peace as much as you do."
Then, the President said, "To you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans, I ask for your support."
"Let us be united for peace. Let us also be united against defeat. Because let us understand: North Vietnam cannot defeat or humiliate the United States. Only Americans can do that."
Despite fruitless U.S. diplomatic efforts in Paris and elsewhere, Nixon listed areas of success in de-escalating the conflict and
carrying out his announced intention on Guam last July of turning more of the burden of the fighting over to South Vietnam.
The President said we must "persist in our search for a just peace through a negotiated settlement if possible, or through continued implementation of our plan for Vietnamization if necessary—a plan in which we will withdraw all of our forces from Vietnam on a schedule in accordance with our program, as the South Vietnamese become strong enough to defend their own freedom."
Nixon said his course "is not the easy way, but it is the right way."
Despite his "discouraging" report on diplomatic initiatives, the President indicated strongly that
secret U.S. probings were continuing in the hope of some sort of breakthrough.
At one point in his speech, he said: "We have taken other significant initiatives which must remain secret to keep open some channels of communication which may still prove to be productive."
Yet, he said, "there can be now no longer any doubt that progress in negotiation depends above all on Hanoi's deciding to negotiate seriously."
