One of those present said he was afraid that a sit-in at this time would only result in "sterilizing the whole movement." "Public dialogue with university officials would accomplish more," he said.
"We shouldn't picket, and then say, 'Let's talk,'" chimed in another protestor. "We talk, and then if we have something to protest, we protest." he said.
"Fun and games are great, but the senior class can work on productive things too," he said. For instance, the coalition plans to have representatives from the senior class serve as a reviewing body for university issues. Possible changes could then be recommended to the Council on Student Affairs (COSA) or other
After a Friday meeting with Heller, the "movement" organizers concluded the University administration is not getting "distressed" about the situation.
The group therefore agreed to organize a public forum for debate between university officials, faculty and students, which is planned for the first week after spring break.
Hitchcock's coalition would like to institute a senior class "winter weekend" if elected. The weekend of fun, which would be held at Mount Bleu, would be capped by a party in a heated carnival tent, he said.

In his campaign for president, Tom Hitchcock, Overland Park junior, is talking to "as many of the class of '69 as possible."
"We get a lot of feedback from talking to the students, and so we will know more about what the class wants if our coalition is elected." Hitchcock said Monday.

It was the concensus of those who have talked with members of the administration that the University says it does not take a stand on such "moral" issues.
university groups. Hitchcock said.
Another state school, the University of Pennsylvania, has established a precedent which KU would do well to follow, the students added. This institution has chosen to ban all military research projects from the campus.
When asked about campaign progress, Hitehcook's opposition, John Hill, Prairie Village junior, replied, "We're still waiting for returns from our Gallup poll."
He continued that "the chances for our entire coalition to win are very good if we've been able to successfully indicate to people that we work well together and have fun as a team."
If elected, his coalition plans to help the senior class "play hard and work hard," Hill said.
