Chancellor E. H. Lindley, in expressing the policies of the administration outlined for the new council the diff that will be met in the coming year.
"The state of Kansas, the Chancellor explained, 'is pledged to endorse the fact that universities should mirror the opinion of the state which supports it.

Continuing, he said that he knew of no injury to the University more serious than his students and those students. He also brought out the fact that freedom and toleration in every form reach a higher peek at K. U. than at almost any other.

Strobel Wants Co-operation
The college, all are honored, said Strobel, president of the new governing body, as he took over the office from McCurc, "not because they were more interested in their friends to guarantee their election, or because of their election itself, but rather because of their experience and counsels and because of the fact that each successive body has recognized that they were not members of the institution but were nen entrusted with the government of Kansas University, and as such have been entrusted with the schools as a whole."
Other speakers were Dean Henry Werner, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Raymond Nichols, Phil Cook, Max Hamilton, and Maurice Lampel.
"It is my hope," he declared, "that we can work together, independent of power, in the fight against oppression. The program was brought out in the light of 'The Machine Age,'" and the program also bore a harmonious with this theme. Charles Hassett, chairman of the election committee, said.
