Incidents disrupt hearing
(Continued from page 1)
"As a member of the oppressed people of the world, I feel that I have no more obligation to respect any of the rights of the oppressors. Your attempt to censure I find a laughable, despicable insult to justice," Jenkins said.
When Jenkins finished his speech, Berkowitz began to read his presentation.
Berkowitz had barely begun when Gordon Wiseman, UDB member and professor of physics, started to interrupt and was shouted down.
Wiseman then attempted to leave, but witnesses say he pushed Anne Lynne Cobb, Independence, Kan., senior, out of his way.
The defendants and their supporters became incensed.
decried his violence, and demanded to know his name.
Miss Cobb later said she would press charges against the professor.
After this incident, Donald K. Alderson, dean of men, stood up and the other members of the UDB started to leave.
Emily Taylor, dean of women, said she was physically restrained repeatedly when leaving the room. She also said that she would press charges.
About half the people in the room left, but Alderson and an assistant who were apparently barred returned to their seats.
While walking to his seat, Alderson asked Atkinson if he had a presentation he wanted to give. Atkinson nodded.
and he began by denouncing the University as a "slum lord and napalm factory."
Atkinson's speech was short
"Our goal as revolutionaries," he said, "is to expose to the people of this country the existing and potential reality of oppression and exploitation in America."
The Disciplinary Board adjourned to the Regent's room in the Chancellor's office suite for further discussion in a closed meeting.
After the meeting which lasted about an hour, the members refused to give the press any information, saying that they decided that only the chairman of the UDB would be the source of information.
The chairman, Bradt, had hurriedly left the UDB meeting to go to a closed meeting of the
new University Council in Blake Hall.
Bradt has been unavailable for comment.
Four student opinion referendums may face delay of immediate action
Immediate action may not be forthcoming on the four student opinion referendums provided on the April 23-24 general election ballot.
All four of the proposals passed by large majorities, said Chuck Loveland, Riley senior and former All-Student Council elections chairman.
The referendum calling for more student representation on University Senate committees received 3,737 pro votes and 1,210 con. Another proposal, which would change the student calendar, moving finals to
20 KANSAN May 9
1969
precede a lengthened Christmas vacation, received 3,753 yes votes and 1,194 no votes.
A referendum proposing both academic and residence representation received 3,386 favorable votes and 1,347 negative votes.
Probably the most controversial of the referendums, the proposal to allow 3.2 beer to be sold in the Kansas Union, passed with 3,128 yes votes and 1,978 negative votes.
State Atty, General Kent Frizzell said early this week that it would not be against the law to serve 3.2 beer on campuses of state universities. At the
moment the future of beer on campus awaits the decision of the Board of Regents.
David Awbrey, Hutchinson junior and student body president, met with Frank Burge, Kansas Union director. As Burge put it, they "discussed the referendum in a constructive sense. If the students want beer in the Union, we will explore the ways of providing it for them."
Awbrey said Student Senate leaders will be working over the summer to decide how best to increase student representation in the University government, and on the changeover to representation both academically and residence based.
