"So what is our Governor doing about it? He is conferring with our abic?? (sic) legislators and the Board of Regents on how we are going to raise an additional 15-million dollars in tax money to support these crackpot professors and their ilk next year.
"People seem to forget. We are at war with Communists. They are killing our sons and friends and neighbors. They are furnishing the 'propaganda' these crackpots are feeding to our students. A professor guilty of this type of action in World War II would have been shot for treason!"
CARLYLE'S REFERENCES to the Kansas Free Press concerned the Aug. 28 issue, which featured articles on the Viet Nam crisis written by Wilcox and by Dr. John M. Swomley Jr., professor of theology at the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
Questioned at his home at 14011' New York Street, Wilcox said, "Obviously Mr. Carlyle hasn't read the issue of the Kansas Free Press that he refers to in his column. I suggest that he do so and then go see his lawyer because we're going to see ours."
The special Viet Nam issue of the K.E.P. certainly does not represent the so-called 'Communist line'' Wilcox said.
"BOTH DR. SWOMLEY's article and my own editorial state our reservations on Communist double standards," he said. "My own opposition to totalitarianism is a matter of public record and I'm sure the same is true for Dr. Swomley.
"Furthermore, I challenge Mr. Carlyle to name one Communist at the University of Kansas. I suggest that he put his money where his mouth is."
In a telephone interview Sunday night, Carlyle said he would not elaborate upon his charges, "other than what might appear in subsequent columns."
However, Carlyle estimated the number of student Communists at KU as "less than one per cent of the student body." He said that he wouldn't care to pin down a total number of Communists in the faculty.
"I DON'T WANT to paint everybody with one brush," Carlyle stated. "I am not so alarmed with the numbers of Communists at KU as I am with their activities and the directions they have from people of the same philosophy."
CARLYLE CALED the Kansas Free Press "one of the most left-wing publications I have ever read. I find that its views and content has followed specifically and almost exactly, on specific issues, the same line as does the Daily Worker, the official publication of the Communist Party."
CARLYLE ALSO VOICED concern over the activities of the KU Minority Opinions Forum.
11 has been my observation that the overwhelming percentage of the speakers presented by the forum has been in favor of leftists and Communists," he said.
Chancellor and Mrs. W. Clarke Wescoe will head a party of 20, leaving Wednesday on a five-day trip to the West Coast to report to alumni on future plans for the University.

REFERRING TO the general charge of Communist activity at KU, Ketzel said, "Obviously he (Carlyle) knows more about it than does the administration, faculty, or friends of the University."
Clifford Ketzel, associate professor of political science and past faculty advisor to the Minority Opinions Forum, commented on Carlyle's statements.
Ketzel described Carlyle's column as an "outrageous statement."
Ketzel said that nearly the reverse of Carlyle's charge against the Minority Opinions Forum is true. He estimated that at least 60 per cent of all past speakers were politically conservative, "unless Bob Love of the John Birch Society or Robert Depugh of the Minutemen are leftists."
their support of the University," Chancellor Wescoe said. "The centennial year makes a tour such as this particularly important."
THE ITINERARY INCLUDES overnight stops at Phoenix, Ariz., and San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco, Calif. The trip ends Saturday after the KU-California football game at Berkeley.
Robert Woody. Bartlesville, Okla., senior and senior class president, will open each program.
"I want to express the student's appreciation to the alumni for their support of the University," Woody said. "Then, because of the considerable publicity given the various student demonstrations last year, I want to try to give them a more complete picture of the student body and its activities."
THE MAINTENANCE OF channels of communication between student and faculty in a rapidly expanding university is the theme of Cancellor Wescoe's address.
"I will place particular emphasis on supporting the Council for Progress," the Chancellor commented. "Supporting ideas for the October 29 meeting of the Council are vital to success."
The Council of Progress, a special committee of the Alumni Association, is composed of more than 200 alumni and friends of the University. It was created this year to inform alumni of the growth and needs of the University.
Larry Colburn, Lawrence senior and head cheerleader, will end each meeting leading the alma mater followed by the Rock Chalk vell.
An attendance of around 500 is expected at Berkeley and around 100 at each of the other stops.
THE OFFICIAL PARTY ALSO includes Arthur H. Cromb, Chairman of the Board of Regents; Stanley Learned, former president of the Alumni Association and a present member of the Board of Directors; Clarence McGuire, national president of the Alumni Association; Mrs. Thomas Lillard, former vice-president and Board Member of the Alumni Association.
Wade Stinson, Athletic Director; Dick Wintermote, executive secretary of the Alumni Association; Vince Biltota, field secretary of the Alumni Association; Jerry E. Hutchinson, assistant secretary of the Alumni Association; and Maurice Barker, executive secretary of the Greater University Fund.
Role of KU Law Professor Is Defined
What is the role of the professor on the campus?
"Professors are here to make the students think," Arthur R. Travers, one of the two newly appointed professors at KU's school of law, commented.
"To do this, you have to stimulate their interest and provide a framework in which they can learn," he said.
"IN THE PAST, law courses were sealed," he added. "Each student was provided with law cases which he had to wade through. It was a sink or swim situation."
"Most law courses now are taught to let the student find and extract most of the rules and truths from the framework of instruction that the professor sets up." Travers continued, "and students are free to retain a high degree of originality and open-minded.

The court must be careful in its decisions for if it tries to do too much without public support, it loses its prestige and power, Travers claimed.
Travers said the Supreme Court is, and will remain, a force in our society but only as long as it considers "logically and carefully its analysis of a case."
THE PUBLIC MUST have confidence in its courts," he added. "It is very important that no segment of the public feels it has been prejudged."

TO SHOW THESE virtues are important in a lawyer, he pointed to the U.S. Supreme Court where the justices must be able to persuade each other—not decide cases on the basis of their prejudices.

Graduate Study Trend Continues

The current trend towards postgraduate study appears to hold true at KU.
Nearly 70 per cent of the 1965 liberal arts seniors planned to continue their academic pursuits, according to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Catalog for 1965-66.
Of these, about 44 per cent planned to attend graduate school: 41 per cent
Lawrence, Kansas
Approximately 21 per cent of the senior class members planned to go directly to their positions after graduation. Another 4 per cent headed for military service.
in the United States, and 3 per cent abroad. The remaining 24 per cent had professional schools in mind, with law and medicine being primary choices.
Unlike other branches of the federal government, the court, in the final analysis, must maintain its moral position by the force of its reasoning. "Reasoned opinion is the only weapon of power that the court has." Travers concluded.
