First in series of five in November
Frizzell to hold unrest forums
The first of five forums initiated by Kansas Attorney General Kent Frizzell will be held at 7:30 Nov. 20 in the Kansas Union.
Frizzell will be accompanied by six Assistant Attorneys General.
After opening remarks by Frizzell on the legal aspects of University autonomy, the University's relation to the state and legislature and legal rights of individuals involved in campus dissent, there will be an open discussion and question-and-answer period.
The non-partisan forum is sponsored by the College Republicans (CR) and was initiated as a result of Frizzell's last visit to KU. At that time he was to address the Collegiate Young Republicans (now the CR) about a campus dissent bill that was to be presented to the Kansas House of Representatives.
The discussion was dominated by questions and accusations by members and sympathizers of the
Students for a Democatic Society, who were strongly opposed to the bill. Frizzell left the meeting dumbbounded by the depth of bitterness evident in a number of students, said John Ruth, Topeka junior and CR president. Now he is trying to establish a communication link between the state of Kansas and KU students.
The Student Senate has endorsed the forum series as an educational opportunity for diversified student participation, after a resolution in support of
the series was presented by Mark Edwards, Emporia senior.
Assistant Attorneys General who will accompany Frizzell are Dick Foth (graduate of Yale), Chief of the Civil Division; Dick Seaton (Harvard), Chief of the Criminal Division; Rich Hayse
(Washburn); Ed Collister, Ernie Ballweg, and Lance Burr, head of Consumer Protection, all graduates of KU.
The second forum will take place in February 1970, followed by a forum per month for the remainder of the semester.
Von Ende, group, consider reasons
Unrest cause suggested
One of the most significant causes underlying campus disorders is the discrepancy students observe between American ideals and promises and the way in which they are lived up to.
The American Council on Education's Special Committee on Campus Tensions learned this Thursday from Bill Brock and two other Republican members of the House of Representatives.
Committee member Rick von Ende, Abilene, Tex., graduate student, said Brock, Lou Frey and Bill Steiger, three of the 27 Republican Congressmen who compiled the Brock Committee Report, gave concern about the growing power of the military and the problems of living in a post-industrial revolution technological society as major reasons for campus unrest.
The Brock Committee Report was written after committee members talked informally to college students across the nation to determine the causes of turmoil on campuses.
Scholarships given by Kansas Press Women
Two KU coeds received scholarships at the fall meeting of the Kansas Press Women Oct. 25 at the Ramada Inn.
Linda Stephens, Edgerton junior was awarded the $350 Kansas Women Press Scholarship. Ruth Rademacher, Arkansas City senior, was given the $150 Mamie Boyd Scholarship.
Mrs. Mamie Boyd, Mankato, who was the National Federation of Press Women woman of achievement in 1968, presented the scholarships.

"Sometime around 2 p.m. Thursday we ceased being a collection of individuals and became a group," von Ende said of the committee. The group discussed the status and problems of college trustees or regents and agreed that, under the right circumstances, trustees can be a very effective "insulator" for the university.
They should function as a bridge between the state and the university, von Ende said. Problems begin when the bridge fails
to reach to the university, he added.
The campus tensions committee also discussed the issue of faculty tenure. Von Ende said the blanket of tenure was most particularly used during the McCarthy era for protection against ouster due to political beliefs and teachings.
The committee will extend an invitation to an as-yet unnamed high-ranking member of the Nixon administration to attend their next meeting Nov. 21 through 23, von Ende said.
