our coach with expediency. He was given a choice of resigning or being fired. He chose to be fired and stand on his record." Santee continued.
Santee told the group the best thing they could do would be to send letters and telegram. "If you feel strongly about this, you will wire or call the governor and have your parents do the same."
Easton had told Santee earlier in the evening that he (Easton) would do whatever the administration asked him to do to keep things at Kansas in an orderly fashion. Santee expressed hope that the University officials would be willing to negotiate and that further action such as rallies would not be necessary.
Santee answered some questions from the group before they broke up. The group generally remained
orderly and quiet but punctuated the talks with bursts of applause. Wednesday night's rally was merely another link in the explosive chain of events that began with the announcement of Easton's dismissal Tuesday morning.
THE FIRING provoked bitter comment from Easton, who felt he had been treated unjustly at the hands of the administration. Comment from members of Easton's squad and track fans ranged from the sympathetic to the incredulous.
Comment from University officials was sparse. James R. Surface, vice-chancellor in charge of the University while Chancellor Wescoe is on vacation, has said that Easton has tenure as an assistant professor in physical education but his status as a coach is strictly a matter for the athletic department, including the Athletic Director and the Athletic Board.

Cervantes Day Set Saturday
The 41st annual Cervantes Day program at KU Saturday will present a variety of activities involving Spanish literature and culture.
Cyrus Decoster, professor of Spanish and head of the Spanish department, is chairman of the program. Prof. Decoster said he expects about 500 students and teachers throughout Kansas to attend.
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616), whom the day honors, is the pope of Spanish literature. Commenting on the relation of Cervantes with Saturday's program, Prof. Domingo Ricart of the Spanish department said Cervantes Day actually symbolizes Spanish literature and culture in general; however, there are occasional direct references to Cervantes.
"What is desired above all is that interest in Spanish culture and literature be stimulated through the activities on the program." Prof. Ricart said.
ON SATURDAY MORNING tours of the foreign language sound laboratory and demonstrations showing how the equipment is used will be conducted.
At 10 a.m., Prof. Ablardo Bonilla of Costa Rica will speak on "Profiles of Spanish Literature in the Work of Cervantes." Prof. Bonilla has written many books on Spanish literature and has won distinguished awards, including the Alfonso X Award for outstanding work in literature.
Following the lecture, there will be an annual meeting of the Kansas
