Committee of twelve
Publicity policy is told
During the student demonstrations last spring a committee of six students and six faculty members was formed to settle the differences of the protesting students.
The committee has now met four times in trying to bridge the gap of misunderstanding. Last Tuesday the Kansan's editor, Robert Stevens, quipped about the effectiveness of the group.
The following letter has been received by him as to the exact publicity policy of the committee. It is printed in its entirety and was signed by the two chairmen of the committee.

Summer Session Kansan
Dear Bob:
We were somewhat distressed by the paragraph in last Tuesday's Kansan regarding the allegedly secretive nature of the 12-member Student-Faculty Committee on University Governance. It was never the intention of the Committee to conceal itself from an interested public. The Committee had early expressed the desire for an orderly method of publicizing its work during the period of its deliberations. One of us (Ambrose Saricks) will assume responsibility for the misunderstanding reflected in the Kansan comment on Tuesday, June 11. This misunderstanding may well have developed from an informal conversation between you and this co-chairman, who, since he had been unable to attend the second meeting of the Committee when the matter was briefly discussed, was not thoroughly cognizant

At its fourth session on Thursday, June 13, the Committee instructed us to write to you regarding the issue of publicity on its work while that work is still underway. The co-chairmen have been authorized by the Committee to issue periodic public statements and summaries of the status and nature of the Committee's deliberations during the period before it completes its report. From time to time, therefore, we shall be providing you with information on our work and hope that you will find it worthy of publication. This information will be available to any interested persons or news media.
Dean Logan borrows stamps for campaign
Yours sincerely.
The work of the Committee is demanding and time-consuming, as one should expect from the potential importance of what it is attempting to do. The Committee expects to issue a full, formal report near the beginning of the Fall semester. Meanwhile, however, we do intend to keep you and others informed of our efforts.

University Governance
With his political hat in the ring only four days, James K. Logan, dean of the Law School, already met the political critics and came out without a scratch.
In the Thursday issue of the Junction City Republic, a weekly newspaper, Editor E. L. Kessinger mentioned he had received campaign materials earlier in the week from Dean Logan in University envelopes with perforated KU stamps.
KESSINGER DESCRIBED the literature as a news release announcing the dean's plan and a biography on him. Kessinger, who is a Republican representative from Geary County, said Friday that it concerns him when any public official uses government material for their private purposes.
Dean Logan pointed out that he had made his decision to run for office on Saturday and that he could not buy any bulk quantity of stamps. He consulted with Lawrence Postmaster John Harris, and was advised he would have to wait for stamps until Monday.

Logan to speak here Thursday
The KU Students for McCarthy will host James K. Logan, dean of the school of law, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Dean Logan, who is also a candidate for the Democratic nomination to the U.S. Senate from Kansas will answer questions concerning the perils of the United States. The public is invited.
The envelopes and stamps for the mailing were borrowed from the Law School so that Dean Logan would not have to announce his candidacy without publicity.
ON MONDAY Dean Logan paid the Office Supply Store $62.50 for the used postage and also reimbursed the Law School for the envelopes.
Since that time he has ordered his own campaign stationery and envelopes and is making plans to set up a headquarters in the Eldridge Hotel.
Dean Logan terminates his duty on June 30, when William R. Scott, professor of law, becomes acting dean.

He had served as president of a number of organizations including the Larned Rotary Club, the Larned Community Development Corporation, the Santa Fe Trail Highway Association and the Barton and Pawnee Counties Banker Association and the Kansas Flying Bankers.
