Walkout Now A 'University Problem, So Malott Invites Seven for Talk
Seven persons representin and the student body will associaion of Chancellor Deane W. confronting the University as Monday." In a letter to Man president, the chancellor invited one delegate from each of three student organizations, the All Student Council, the student court, and the Kansan Board, to sit on the walkout committee with a representative from the faculty senate and a member of the administration. Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, will be an ex-officio member of the committee, said the chancellor who will be present at the meeting himself.
This is the first time in University history that students will help decide a disciplinary action of all-University scope, Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, said today.
Chancellor Malet said today that he was not prepared to enumerate the "problems" which he referred to as arising from the walkout demonstration. He said he could not predict the trend of the committee's discussion tomorrow.
Guy E. Ashercraft has been elected by the All-Student Council as its representative on the committee. The council directed Ashercraft to suggest either a planned program to cover such incidents in the future or the definite delegation of power enabling the Council to call appropriate holidays.
Students will have the same voting power as faculty representatives, Dean Werner said. The walkout took place on the first school day after K.U.'s Homecoming football victory over K-State.
The faculty and administration representatives had not been named early this afternoon.
Appointments of representatives from the Kansan board and the student court were to be confirmed this afternoon.
Following is the letter written to Miss Cox, Council president, by Chancellor Malott suggesting possible action to close the incident of the student walkout of last Monday:
"The small group of thoughtless students who acted as leaders to disrupt the work of the University of Kansas Monday, behaved in such a way as to affront the majority of students, and the faculty, and staff brought discredit to the entire institution.
"But it is not alone my problem. It is to a considerable extent a problem for the students, and for the faculty. It is both the decision of the Student Council and the vote of the senate which create the calendar which was violated.
"From the point of view of the inevitable responsibility which I bear as head of the University, I intend to act in the matter, and to prevent, if possible, the occurrence in the future of such activities. I am ashamed, as I know you are, of the actions of this group, who after an entire week-end given over to the events of Homecoming, feel they must continue into a working day and to disrupt the activities of others who are here for more serious purposes.
"I therefore propose to create to handle the matter with me a committee including representatives of the senate and of the students, one Student Council member, one member of the court, and one member of the Kansan Board to act energetically and rapidly to close the incident.
"Let me emphasize again that this
ing the administration, the faculty, assemble tomorrow upon the invitaW. Malott to discuss "the problems as a result of the student walkout Mary Jo Cox, All-Student Council
is an all-University affair. When classes are disrupted, and the actions of the group are of such a nature as to attract attention throughout the state, it becomes more than merely an affair involving one group in the University.
"I am eager to have the counsel and judgment and active help of the students in taking whatever action is warranted and in assuring the University of orderly procedures in the future." Deane W. Malott.

Five New Dorms To Be Built For Students
Four University-owned dwellings east of Memorial stadium will be converted into women's dormitories, and a men's dormitory will be constructed under the stadium, as soon as materials and labor are available, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said today.
The housing projects, approved by the state board of regents at a meeting in Topeka, Friday, will accommodate 48 women and 64 men.
The cost of remodeling of the houses and construction of dormitory is subject to the approval of the state architect and the state business manager. Mr. Nichols said.
"Because of the shortage of materials and labor, we cannot estimate when construction and repair can be started," Mr. Nichols added. "The projects are designed primarily to alleviate another housing shortage next fall."
The houses at 712, 716, and 716 McCook street and 1112 Illinois, now occupied by private families, are to be vacated by Jan. 1, Karl Klooz, bursar said.
