Greeks ask SDS'ers to visit house
By Gracie Nelson Kansan Staff Writer
The sockless fraternity man in the penny loafers raised his hand, and the SDS'ers turned to look.
"I've come here with a completely open mind," he said. "In fraternities and sororites, you're unheard of. I wanted to see what you guys stand for."
Across the room, the youth with a hole in his black T-shirt scooted forward in his seat to hear the Greek.
"They'll listen to you, but I don't know what they'll think," said the fraternity man.
What followed was a good-natured exchange of quips between the meeting's leader and the fraternity man, during which someone suggested that SDS visit a Greek house.
After the meeting, four participants gathered in the back of the room, where they talked about the presence of the ten Greeks at the meeting.
"At least they were here, and that's something," said the bearded graduate student who earlier said he once belonged to a fraternity.
"You know, I wonder what happens to these kids," he said.
"A kid from western Kansas comes to KU with an open mind, thinking what an exciting place this is, and then phfft! Something happens. He gets his degree in business administration and goes home."
"Well, I was the same way—super-patriotic, the whole bit—until this professor started talking about why we shouldn't be in Vietnam . . ." said a blond whose hair touched the back of his Ivy League sweater.
"Exactly," said the graduate student eagerly, as a man who had been at the meeting in a dark business suit walked by.
"It doesn't even occur to these people that we might not have been called into Vietnam, that it could have been a manipulated situation. When they say, 'Hey, I never thought of that!'—you're getting somewhere."
His Mia Farrow-ish wife exhaled a cloud of cigarette smoke, grinned brightly and said, "That's when you've won the first big battle."
"Yeah, yeah, but someone
comes to a meeting like this tonight, wanting to know what SDS does, and they'll go away thinking all we did was sit around and talk," said Black T-Shirt.
"Maybe, but that guy was right when he said that when someone asks you what the hell you're doing on that picket line, you'd better be able to tell him." a graduate student said.
At some point in the animated discussion, one of the leaders sat down with the group, and the drifted to SDS ideology.
"We don't have to be doctrinaire," someone said.
"After all," said a man with a mustache, "the American revolutionists didn't have goals that were more specific than peace, freedom, and equality."
Students to attend council
chairman of the College Intermediary Board.
Aldon Bell, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, announced Friday that he will attend the third National Collegiate Honors Council, Oct. 18, 19 and 20 in Seattle, Wash.
Moments later, a self-proclaimed Marxist asked another man what his philosophy was.
"Well, I'm not a Marxist," was the answer.
"I feel, these three students, who are all members of KU's Honors Program, will be able to participate in all levels at the council," Bell said.
The National Collegiate Honors Council was organized at KU two years ago. Its purpose, Bell said, is to concentrate attention on college honors programs and discuss new programs or approaches.
"For the first time we will be taking students with us to the council," he said. "From now on I hope at least one KU student will always attend."
"We will help set up honors programs at other campuses, if asked," Bell said.
Accompanying Bell will be John Coyle, Coffeyville senior and vice chairman of the College Intermediary Board; Joe Goering, Moundridge senior and vice president of ASC; and Gary McClland, Topeka senior and
The conversation continued a few more minutes, and then they left.
Weather forces Percy to cancel Saturday speech
Rain forced Sen. Charles Percy, R.-Ill., to cancel his Saturday appearance at KU.
The senator and several Republican dignitaries, speaking along with Percy, were stranded in Manhattan when weather conditions grounded all planes.
The Illinois senator and other Republican candidates in the group traveled by automobile to a fund raising dinner in Salina.
Mark Edwards, president of the Collegiate Young Republicans announced that persons having tickets to the event could receive refunds from the Republican county headquarters.
