"We will return as long as it's necessary," he said.
YESTERDAY AN estimated 110 Civil Rights Council (CRC) demonstrators and sympathizers were arrested, charged with disturbing the peace, and suspended from the University for refusing to leave Chancellor Wescoe's office in Strong Hall when it closed at 5 p.m.
For approximately two hours last night, about 400 students marched past the Chancellor's home to protest the arrest and suspension actions.
According to university regulations, the suspended students will not be allowed to attend classes until they are reinstated. Donald Alderson, Dean of Men, said.
BEFORE THE ARRESTS yesterday, students were told the doors to the chancellor's office would be locked at 5 p.m., according to Pamela Smith, Kansas City sophomore and CRC secretary. She said the group was warned that all students who remained in the office would be subject to arrest.
Mike Miner, Lawrence senior and ASC chairman, said this morning legislation will be proposed tonight at the ASC meeting asking that the students be reinstated.
He said that anyone representing CRC, who had consent of the Council, would have speaking privileges at tonight's meeting.

"The doors were locked and campus and Lawrence police were called to arrest us," Miss Smith commented in an interview before CBS television cameras last night at the demonstration.
Tuesday, March 9,1965
Police began escorting the students from Strong Hall about 5:25 p.m. The students were loaded in buses and were taken to the Douglas County jail at 6 pm. Another bus load of CRC members and sympathizers were taken to the Lawrence City jail after the county jail was filled.
The demonstrators were removed from the buses in groups of six and taken into the jails, where they were booked.
AN HOUR AND A HALF later, it was announced that the students could be released if they paid a $25 bond. It was stipulated that students who were residents of Douglas County could sign for the bond. The students could also arrange for people from Lawrence to sign the bond for them.
We've got it!
Students received help from Marvin McKnight, past president of the Lawrence branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). McKnight enlisted the support of two local ministers, Garnett Henning of St. Luke's African Methodist Episcopal church, and the Rev. Harris of the 9th Street Baptist Church.
Between 8 and 9 p.m. the students were released from jail in pairs. They then marched to the Wesley Methodist Student Center, 1144 Louisiana, for a meeting to plan further demonstrations. The meeting began in the basement of the center, but had to be moved to the main floor because of the crowd.
ABOUT 400 students attended the meeting.

That's right. We've still got the most popular men's slip-on to ever hit the college scene. Just look around you. Bet most of your friends already have a pair. How about you?
Sims conducted the meeting. He offered three proposals for further demonstrations:
that the group stage an all night vigil in front of Strong Hall, asking Lawrence citizens to supply hot coffee and blankets for the demonstrators;
- that the group go home and sleep and resume the demonstration in front of and inside Strong Hall in the morning;
that the group stage a march on Chancellor Wescoe's residence for about two hours.
THE PROPOSALS WERE discussed and the third adopted.
The marchers left the Wesley Foundation, 1144 Louisiana, walking 25 feet apart and 3 abreast. They circled Lilac Lane in a peaceful and orderly fashion.
The marchers were prohibited from coming any closer than about 100 feet to the Chancellor's residence.
Marchers carried signs reading "Equal Opportunity," "Civil Rights, Not Civil Wrongs," and "Discrimination Hurts."
Leaders of the demonstrators stood around the path saying, "We must keep moving. We must not stop."
Midway through the march, four loud explosions were heard. These
were "cherry bombs," large, illegal firecrackers.
"THIS DEMONSTRATION is already a great success," Sims said. He walked with the marchers and gave directions.
One of the demonstrators, Chris Hood, Joplin, Mo., senior, said, "Our spirits are very high. Even the news that the students arrested have been suspended hasn't dampened our spirits.
"I believe the marchers were more
orderly than the spectators," he said.
orderly than the spectators, he said. The students arrested yesterday were the second largest group of demonstrators jailed in the nation this year, according to Sims. The largest group demonstrated with Dr. Martin Luther King.
AS THEY MARCHED, many of the demonstrators called on spectators to join them.
Traffic around the area became heavy as many people came to watch the march.
Ad Fraternity Rushes Tonight
Alpha Delta Sigma, professional advertising fraternity, will have a rush smoker tonight featuring Ray Turpin of the advertising department of Modern Handcraft.
John Pepper, Lenexa senior, who is in charge of this semester's rush said, "Last semester we had approximately 30 rushees and we were able to take only about 22 of them. This semester we are expecting about 40 rushees, and because a large number of men are graduating we will be able to pledge 27 to 30 men."
The purpose of Alpha Delta Sigma, Pepper said, "is to bridge the gap between the classroom and the actual field of advertising. Even though many of our members are
advertising majors, we have men from fine arts, business, psychology, and even engineering. All of them have one thing in common-an interest in advertising."
John Suhler, Cross River, N.Y., senior and president of the organization said, "We will have several fine programs during the remainder of the semester and we will also sponsor a field trip to the Kansas Color Press. Advertising Day on Campus will be the biggest feature on the remainder of this year's agenda."
"I hope the men that we have not been able to contact personally will come anyway, since they are more than welcome," Pepper said.
Ford Motor Company is:
responsibility
Stephen Jaeger
B.B.A., Univ. of Pittsburgh
A key dimension of any job is the responsibility involved. Graduates who join Ford Motor Company find the opportunity to accept responsibility early in their careers. The earlier the better. However, we know the transition from the academic world to the business world requires training. Scholastic achievements must be complemented by a solid understanding of the practical, day-to-day aspects of the business. That is the most direct route to accomplishment.
Stephen Jaeger, of the Ford Division's Milwaukee District Sales Office, is a good example of how it works. His first assignment, in January, 1963,
was in the Administrative Department where he had the opportunity to become familiar with procedures and communications between dealerships and the District Office. In four months he moved ahead to the Sales Planning and Analysis Department as an analyst. He studied dealerships in terms of sales history, market penetration and potentials, and model mix. This information was then incorporated into master plans for the District. In March, 1964, he was promoted to Zone Manager—working directly with 19 dealers as a consultant on all phases of their complex operations. This involves such areas as sales, finance, advertising, customer relations and business management. Responsible job? You bet it is—especially for a man not yet 25 years old. Over one million dollars in retail sales, annually, are involved in just one dealership Steve contacts.
As a growth company in a growth industry, Ford Motor Company offers an exceptionally wide spectrum of job opportunities. The chances are good that openings exist in your field of interest. See our representative when he visits your campus. We are looking for men who want responsibility and will be ready for it when it comes.
