At Rockhurst College
Humphrey urges involvement in party
By JUDI DIEBOLT Kansan Staff Writer
Hubert Humphrey yesterday urged politically disenchanted students to return to the parties and become actively involved in the "Humphrey college of political participation."
As thousands of students cheered in the definitely pro Humphrey crowd at Rockhurst College, Humphrey said students cannot "opt out" regardless of the outcomes in Miami and Chicago.
"You've set in motion reforms for major political parties. If you opt out, you will betray everything you ever worked for."
Amid the homemade signs and wild cheers, one heckler made himself very distinctly heard. The heckler, screaming "We want Gene," was quickly silenced by Humphrey's reply "I do too. See how quickly we resolve these things."
Humphrey said he'd know McCarthy and had been with him longer than the students. "I am confident we'll be together
soon." Humphrev said.
He told the students they were the hope of the political future. "I'll make a bargain with you. You work with me and we'll wake this nation up. This will not be the year America lost its faith. We'll make it the year that America found its conscience."
Humphrey's later remarks were devoted to slamming the opposition. Referring to the Wallace-LeMay team as the "Bomb-sie Twins", Humphrey called them the greatest threat to true democracy in the U.S.
Humphrey also touched briefly on his reasons for not accepting the minority plank in Chicago.
"Because of the unconditional cease-fire clause, I could not accept the plank. It did not strengthen the bargaining position in Paris. It was no really better for peace. The majority plank called for a cease-fire but only with some response from Hanoi, for the safety of our troops," Humphrey said.
"I have been accused of being unclear on Vietnam. I have always said I'd look for evidence by word or deed from Hanoi to restore the DMZ to its original

shown that day in the Union Forum Room.
On the subject of law and order Humphrey said, that while Nixon thought the answers were in better jails and better penitentiaries he saw the answer in better neighborhood housing.
Humphrey concluded his morning at Rockhurst by introducing all Democratic candidates for office present.

with the RENEGADES
Among the films being shown in the morning and afternoon in the Forum Room of the Union are "Southeast Asia: The Other War" and "Inside North Vietnam."
The theme for the week beginning next Monday will be "Challenges to a New Administration." The four-day program is sponsored by Student Union Activities.
Bond, the first Negro to be nominated for vice president on a national ticket, led an integrated group which challenged the convention delegation led by Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Convention delegates voted to divide the Georgia delegation between the regular forces and the integrated group.
Later, when Bond was nominated for the vice presidency he asked that his name be removed.
At 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Union Forum Room, six KU faculty members will discuss "Dimension of American Foreign Policy."
He was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1965, but his statements on the Vietnam was caused him to be banned from the house. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1966 that Bond's rights were violated by the ban, and he regained his House seat.
The theme for Monday will be "Challenge of Foreign Policy."
The program will also feature a discussion of "Black Survival" on Oct. 22, by Leonard Harrison, director of the Ballard Community Center in Lawrence, and a panel discussion on Oct. 21 given by six KU political science professors.
Clifford Ketzel, professor of political science, will lead the discussion. Appearing with him will be: Roger E. Kanet, assistant professor of political science, Africa; Malcolm Barnett, assistant professor of political science, Latin America; Carl Lande, associate professor of political science, Far East; and Roy D. Laird, professor of political science, Eastern Europe.
"Challenge of the City" will be the theme for programs Oct. 22 and 23. Films will be shown in the Kansas Union Forum Room both days. Harrison's talk on "Black Survival" will be at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 22 in the Union Forum Room.
