Exhibition attracts students
A puzzled student paused to admire a new exhibit while attending the 16th annual Designer-Craftsman Shop exhibition. The exhibition which is now on display at the KU Art Museum in Spooner Hall will continue until November.
Future of ROTC
(Continued from page 1) presently constituted.
The report compiled by the committee contained testimony from students and faculty members, a history of ROTC at KU and an evaluation of the course work in the ROTC program.
The ROTC turmoil at KU developed when approximately 100 students succeeded in forcing the cancellation of the annual ROTC Chancellor's Review last May.
Oldfather said the specific recommendations submitted by the University Council and the report of the Senate ROTC Committee will be discussed at the University Senate meeting.
A recommendation by the Calendar Committee proposing a slight variation from the calendar approved last fall will also be considered by the University Senate, Oldfather said.
Approval of a policy statement on classified research is also included on the agenda.
Academic credit for ROTC was supported by the Special Committee on ROTC in a report to the Secretary of Defense dated Sept. 22.
The committee recommended that ROTC continue as the primary source of military officers
The committee, composed of six university administrators and three military officers, stated support for the officer training program in an assessment of ROTC effectiveness.
The report said that ROTC "supports American concepts of civilian-military relationships" and "provides a blend of civilian and military background for many young officers."
Academic credit, an issue which has been contested at KU since last spring, was recommended by the committee where appropriate.
The three services were commended for their critical evaluation of their instruction and the increasing use of civilian personnel to teach nonmilitary subjects.

The committee said that ROTC units should have the right to decide how much drill is appropriate (although such drill should not receive academic credit), be able to wear uniforms on campus, have the designation of department within the university, and insure each service head an academic rank commensurate with his position.

Satellite Union downed
(Continued from page 1) in light of the Senate's own
in light of the Senate's opposition.
Marilyn Hall, Frontenac graduate student, accused the Operating Board of approaching the Senate for merely a "rubber stamp" of approval. Balfour agreed that the Student Senate "morally" has responsibility for a Satellite Union decision.
The Senate Committee on Finance and Auditing allocated $675 to the BSU in place of the $10,000 they had requested. The money was earmarked for recruitment and office supplies.
Darryl Bright, Maywood, Ill., senior and president of BSU, said the group has established a Black Studies program and is attempting to make it a University department. They are trying to induce black students and professors to come to the University of Kansas and are planning an exchange program between students in Africa and America. Bright said BSU also acts as coordinator of the Midwestern Conference of Black Students.
"You have told us for year after year that education is the way we have to do things," Bright reminded the Senate.
Another BSU member told the Senate, "We come to you with words. We are trying to solve a problem that other people are trying to solve in the street."
"I am in a position to see how blacks are being isolated in communication and University activities," said Sharon Baucom, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore. She attended an all-black high school and was startled upon arrival at KU to look around and see only "a dot here and a dot there" in the crowd.
Miss Baucom continued, "I refuse to drown in a sea of white faces. Why is it every time I walk in a class I am the only black there?"
It is essential, she said, that
blacks be taken "out of an all-

black situation so that they can compete" with the rest of the world, "Nobody's asking for handouts," she said, and earnestly added that, "I don't want to see this university turn into a Cornell."
Jon Christian Suggs, Lawrence graduate student, said, "We're not going to sit around here and pretend to bring about social change with $675." He proposed that the Senate "put pressure" on the administration to underwrite some of the BSU's programs.
Miss Hall, a member of the Finance and Auditing Committee, said BSU's request was cut because their programs, like those of many other organizations, were "vague." After BSU members
left, she said it was wrong to give the group money because of "several emotional appeals."
The Senate voted to give the BSU the amount they had originally requested, then they voted to reconsider. Their final decision was that BSU be "allowed up to $10,000 for programs, when it is shown that they cannot implement them through any existing University facilities."
