Wright told the assembly that peace workers must not abandon the society and its institutions, even though they may seem to be impervious to change.
"Be abrasive, be demanding, be a thorn in society's flesh," he said. "Use infinite tact, and don't resort to easy arrogance."
Two more faculty members participated in a debate before an audience of more than 1,000 in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Robert A. Burton, assistant professor of oriental languages and literatures, and Carl Lande, associate professor of political science, argued the effects of a Communist takeover in South Vietnam.
Chancellor E. Laurence Chamers did not accept an offer by fourteen members of the KU faculty to make a gift to the University of a day's salary.
The offer was not accepted by the Chancellor for two reasons.
the Governor for two reasons. He stated that the members of the faculty and administration were on a contractual basis for the academic year, therefore, a leave of absence is the only way that the contract may be terminated for a period of time.
Since the Moratorium was not designed to curtail the semester work, Chancellor Chalmers said that the faculty had earned their salaries whether or not they rescheduled their Wednesday classes.
At the University of Kansas
Medical Center, the moratorium was observed with a television teach-in and a silent vigil.
Between noon and 3 p.m., the teach-in was broadcast from Wahl Hall-East Auditorium to Bailey Hall on the KU campus.
At 3 p.m., more than 50 social workers, students, faculty members and sympathizers listened to a memorial service and held a half-hour silent vigil.
The largest, and perhaps the most impressive, of the anti-war demonstrations was the peace march down Jayhawk Boulevard. More than 3,000 participants, in a line 20 abreast and more than 100 yards long, marched along Memorial Drive, West Campus Road and down Jayhawk Boulevard

One of the sign carriers yelled to a woman standing in front of Haworth Hall, "That's right, ma'am. Just a real small group of hippies want the war ended."
A splinter group of the peace march continued on an impromptu march through downtown Lawrence.
Moratorium activities continued into the evening, with a final discussion session on U.S. involvement in Vietnam at 7 p.m. in the main lounge of Ellsworth Hall, and even longer, as private discussions were carried far into the night.
