The UDK will not say 'Hooray'
I'm leaving Lawrence in the morning
Ding dong! the carillon will chime
Boys you'll just miss me
Girls you can kiss me
But get me out of town on time.
I'm gonna be gone in the mornin'
Hooray the UDK will say
Let's all be happy
Let's make it snappy
Please help me to get under way.
If I am weepin'
Rap on the door
If I am sleepin'
Wake me with a roar.
For I'm leaving Lawrence in the mornin'
Ding dong! the carillon will chime
Soon we'll be parted
Let's get this started
And get me out of town
Get me out of town
For Pete's sake get me out of town on time.
Another summer... Another editor...
The Summer Session Kansan is not similar to the University Daily Kansan. Although it may look the same, it is not.
The summer version of the Kansan is published two days a week instead of five. The paper will be distributed early Tuesday and Friday mornings, which means it must be printed the day before. Therefore, we will be hard pressed to cover news of national and international importance as during the regular terms. We will, however, attempt to keep you, our readers, informed on developments in news of the "outside" world as best we can.
Our main goal this summer will be to cover news and events which happen at KU.
Next week, students in the senior division of the Midwestern Music and Art camp will invade the campus. Among them will be more than 90 eager
journalism campers who will become the reporting staff of this paper. They will attempt to cover campus news somewhat in the manner Reporting II students do during the school year. As past years have indicated, the news writing may not be as professional as the Kansan has offered, but the job of reporting will be thorough. These campers will be guided by Professors Calder M. Pickett and Lee Young.
In each Friday issue of the Summer Session Kansan will be four pages called the Kamper Kansan, which will feature news of the camp. The rest of the Kansan will be devoted to the news of interest to all readers, from the two-day preview visitor to the eight-week summer school student.
As always, the Kansan will print letters to the editor. They must be no longer than 300
words in length and must be typed or neatly printed. All letters must be signed by the writer or they will not be accepted. Names will be withheld only if the writer presents a legitimate request.
The Kansan staff (namely the editor) will consider any and all contributions readers may wish to submit for publication. Items of legitimate news value will be welcomed with open arms.
Three times each year, the news editor presents statements of his general policy and the outlook for the paper during his term. This has been one of those times.
The Kansan has always been a paper of the students, by the students and for the students, without control or censorship from anyone. That tradition will continue.

To the Editor:
I was thoroughly disgusted with the administrative handling of the S.D.S. demonstration at the scheduled Chancellor's Review. When the boisterous demonstrators gathered on the parade field and then failed to respond to university requests to vacate the field so that the review would begin, the event was abruptly cancelled, leaving the cadets with a sense of disbelief and a feeling of having been sold out by the administration.
I would hope that before long our university will realize that it is time to quit giving in to the demands of blatant minority groups of agitators such as the S.D.S. To demonstrate is one thing, but to interfere with the rights of others is quite another. The ROTC cadets had scheduled the review as an official university function. To have such an event interfered with and ultimately cancelled is not only disgusting, it seems to me to be also illegal. If force was necessary to control such lawbreakers, then force should have been used.
Something is seriously amiss in our university when groups such as ROTC cannot be allowed to demonstrate their allegiance to the university and our country without being jeopardized and foiled by a group of unruly, poorly-organized agitators who call themselves, among other things, the Students for a "Democratic" Society. If this is "democratic," perhaps we should find another adjective that can be used to describe our way of life.
Sincerely yours,

To the Editor:
The events in Memorial Stadium were disgraceful for a university academic community. The disruption on the field was a flagrant violation of the rights of all students of the University of Kansas and a direct defiance of the policy regarding the review as stated by the University Senate Executive Committee (SENEX).
The Chancellor made the only decision he could to avoid physical confrontation and possible bloodshed on our campus. Rather than call in outside law enforcement agencies, he placed the responsibility for dealing with the disruption on our student and faculty governing bodies as established in the Senate Code.
If the Senate and the University Disciplinary Board fail to
deal with this issue, all internal systems of order will cease to function, and our University will be controlled by outside authorities. This would be its destruction.
The disruption was a direct attack on our right to exist as a University. We must answer that attack immediately and firmly through the imposition of penalties on those individuals involved in the demonstration.
A university can assess penalties varying from a simple reprimand to suspension or expulsion from the institution. In a violation such as this, any penalty less than suspension would be compromising the integrity of our university community of students, faculty, and administrators supposedly dedicated to decision making based on fact and rational discourse rather than disruption and intimidation.
However, if we are to use the force of our governing structure to penalize those who seek change in an undemocratic way, we must be sure that constructive change can be realized through active participation in this system we support. We must see that our University has open channels for involvement in positive change both in our university and our nation.

To the Editor:
With all the trouble being caused here on campus by the SDS and the Anti-SDS factions why has no one arrived at the obvious solution?
Not so many weeks ago the Black Student Union also raised a cry over some "campus injustices" the University knuckled under and we have not been really bothered since then. The reasonable thing to do concerning the SDS is to give them three red girls on the pom-pon squad.
With such a diversified line, our only cheer must be very noncommittal. Perhaps "Lean to the left, lean to the right, stand up, sit down" will do.
The precedent has been set and all the Administration has to do is to follow it. Perhaps with more minority groups showing up, Kansas can develop the largest pom-pon squad in the Midwest.
Respectfully.
