One-sided panel discussions seem to be common at KU now, Miss Mildred Dickeman, assistant professor of anthropology, said Monday in a KU-Y Current Events Forum.

STOKES SAID the statement issued by the Chancellor aided the cause of civil rights on the KU campus. "This put the University in the place of making a policy statement."
Miss Dickeman, the Rev. Donald Conrad, adviser to the Lutheran Students of America, and Sim Stokes, Mobile, Ala., senior and president of the Civil Rights Council, were the speakers on the subject of discrimination on campus.
He said the CRC would continue to strive for the rights of all students using "influence when possible and force when necessary."
Stokes spoke first. He emphasized the active function of the CRC. "Because of the demonstration we got action from the administration." He listed the grievances which led to the March 8 sit-ins in Strong Hall.

In his remarks he spoke of the policy statement required of all fraternal and campus related organizations. He said the part which forbade discrimination on religious grounds was not "a real problem" because religion could be changed.
"THE ADMINISTRATION will find that the very nature of some organizations makes them violate this rule."
6 Groups Lose KU Recognition
He emphasized that attitudes would have to change before prejudice could be wiped out of the organizations.
"TLL TAKE THE parallel a step further. We have the policy statement like legislation, but we don't have the implementation."
She said students should be interested enough "to investigate violations and report them to the UHRC."
She also asked, "How far should businesses and organizations have to go to 'prove' lack of discrimination?" She urged the students to look into organizations on campus and school districts where student-teachers were assigned.
She said the University Human Relations Committee had been set up but there is a "difference between policy and implementation of the policy."
the UHRC is clear but "we would like to know what UHRC is doing."
IN A DIALOGUE or rebuttal period Stokes said, "Rev. Conrad and I differ in method. . . . Take a way the demonstrations and what would we have."
She said Stokes had made a parallel between the local and national situation. "His parallel of the need for action is important.
