Tuesday KU Was Hectic—
(Continued from page 1)
"Each of you is to the University and to me, an individual." Wescoe said. "The hallmark of KU is its concern for the individual, not for the mass, its desire to see each of you grow in maturity and enlightenment."
Wescoe said that even though students were assigned a number for ease of identification and rapidity of communication, this did not result in a loss of a student's individuality or personality.
SPEAKING before the new students and their parents, Wescoe Bisted four r's which the students would be expected to fulfill by the University and the world.
"The first is that you will accept individual responsibility. This is perhaps the most difficult of all things to learn. The fact that you are a member of a large group, soon to be associated in many ways with smaller groups, does not remove from you the necessity to be responsible solely for your own actions." Wescoe stressed.
The second of the expectations was the development of "reasoned judgment."
The chancellor warned of "pired pipers who would have you believe that channels (of communication) do not exist.
"There is on our campus a multitude of opportunities to communicate. There are channels of communication between student and student, student and faculty, student and administration," he remarked.
"The channels are easy to identify and they should be used. I know of no campus where communication is easier to achieve, or where greater emphasis will be placed upon keeping it that way."
Respect, which Wescoe termed as a corollary to the second expectation, included respect to the University, oneself and others.
"The wise man knows that it is always possible for there to be held honestly two divergent opinions and many variations between them." Wescoe said.
"He knows as well that it is his responsibility to respect opinions, honestly held, even if they differ significantly from his own," he added.
WESCOE CITED the absence of any simple questions and "most assuredly no simple answer.
"In the midst of complex situations, then, be certain that you continue to respect the opinions of others."
The Chancellor expressed last the expectation that ladies and gentlemen conduct themselves beyond reproach—"personal rectitude."
Wescoe, speaking to freshmen in the group, called them the "pivotal class" of the University.
"YOU HAVE the distinction of being the last to enter the University's first century. You thereby represent a human bridge that will span the last of the old century and give life to the even greater University of the second century." Wescoe said.
Chancellor Wescoe told entering students "the only limit set upon your growth is that set by your own ambition and your own sense of purpose. Make the most of your opportunities, let your ambition be unbounded."
In the University's 100th year, the Chancellor told of new opportunities facing the students in a campus that is "alive."
"ALL AROUND you will be signs of feverish activity. The campus is alive. New buildings will rapidly take shape in the course of this year; even before they are completed still others will be started. All of these are being built for you, to enlarge your opportunities, to provide you with the best," the chancellor said.
Meanwhile . . .
Discovering the functions and frivolities of campus organizations, hundreds of KU students windowshopped at the Campus Activities Forum Tuesday night in the Big Light room of the Kansas Union.
The forum, formerly the SUA Activities Carnival, was sponsored by Student Union Activities (SUA) with 107 organizations represented.
Each organization decorated a booth and displayed literature concerning their special interests. Students were also able to talk with representatives of the organizations.
Expressing his delight in the turnout, John Garlinghouse, Salina senior and president of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS),

said, "Students seem very interested and a lot of people are picking up our statements of policy."
Garringhouse said SDS plans for this year include finding constructive ways of influencing Viet Nam policy, capital punishment, and the House Un-American Activities Committee.
At the student government booth, Bill Robinson, Great Bend junior and student body vice-president, said he felt his booth was obtaining a good response from students also.
"It looks like we're going to have an interested and active student body in student government this year," he said.
Roger Williams, member of the geology department staff and huckster for the Jayhawk Sports Car Club booth, said, "We're not trying to sign members here, but trying to get people out for our next meeting."
Booth chairmen estimated decorating time from four hours to a swift 15 minutes.
