Presidio march peaceful; reenactment draws many
(Continued from page 1) demonstrators stream from around a building.
Waving the peace sign as they filed past the Military Science Building, the demonstrators reached their destination at Wescoe Hole where the campus "mutiny" was staged.
After the "mutiny," Dave Awbrey, Hutchinson junior and student body president, commended the committee on its action.
"KU students are no longer interested in parties only, but also in presidential campaigns. They are no longer interested in going out and drinking, but in going into ghettos and programs like the New Jersey Project," Awbrey said.
Awbrey urged all those present to recommit themselves by showing up at the 1:30 p.m. Saturday march.
The march will begin at the
Federal Building in Kansas City, Mo., and will be joined by student groups from other area colleges and universities, said Ted Steiner. St. Louis junior and coordinator of the Committee for the 27.
Steiner said the group is demonstrating to inform people about the alleged unjust treatment of the Presidio 27; and to demand congressional action in three areas:

"We can only speculate about the results and what, if any, effects they will have on University policy. But we must credit student opinion and try to make some necessary improvements or changes in the future."
Student opinions on the survey ranged from ideas on student government to general student satisfaction with classes, extracurricular activities and professors at KU. Some asked about student satisfaction with political and social climates on campus; others were concerned with student evaluation of the classroom atmosphere.

Both Baumgartel and Skidmore emphasized the purpose of last night's "interim report." Skidmore, said the committee wanted students and faculty to be aware of test results and any implications from them that might arise. But he added that the committee would not attempt to evaluate the results, or to make value judgments and correlations until much later.
"There are many difficulties with preparing and evaluating such a survey," Skidmore said. "There are such theoretical obstacles as the differences between expressed and real attitudes. What is an attitude? How is it measured? These are questions which must be answered to make the survey relevant.
- Drop the charges, reverse the convictions and grant administrative discharges for the men.
- Investigation into the death of Pvt. Bunch, of the Presidio stockade and of all military prisons.
"We must further be sure that the subject is allowed to answer the questions without bias from outside sources. We must maintain anonimity, we must insure non-coercion," he said.
- Reforms of military judicial processes.
"If demonstrations are necessary," said William Balfour, dean of student affairs, "I think this is the kind we should have."

ISP confusion
(Continued from page 1)
name-calling. The meeting broke up, elections were rescheduled for a later date and diZerega and George both described the atmosphere of the meeting as "disgusting."
Late Wednesday night, Bill Hansen, Kansas City first year law student, resigned from ISP. Hansen had been elected to Senex that night. When asked why he had resigned, he said, "no comment."
By the time of yesterday's ISP reorganizational meeting, ISP's future was uncertain.
The meeting began with a statement by George as acting president, saying he was opposed to the thoroughly pragmatic politics which seemed to be influencing ISP through the last week. He ended by asking that next year's ISP be more open to influences from its members.
George opened the floor to a discussion of idealism versus pragmatism and a flurry of discussion followed.
Scott Nunley, Ashland, Ky., graduate student and ISP worker, said he thought idealism was valuable as a source of energy, ideology as a set of goals and pragmatism as the method to achieve the goals.
Marilyn Bowman, Merriam junior and student body vice-president, said the ISP
campaign had been run by idealism and against pragmatism. She said she thought any confusion was ridiculous.
After arguments endeea,
Awbrey arose to restate his
affiliation with ISP and to
thereby deny any fears
concerning dissassociation.
Nominations were then opened for chairman of the party. Although in a state of division, members agreed that a president who could act as mediator had to be elected.
John Berthrong, Norman, Okla., senior, was nominated and elected by acclamation. Berthrong said election by acclamation demonstrated support. He immediately asked to adjourn the meeting to allow for a cooling-off period before other ISP elections.
