Confusion ends Nigerian symposium
The "America for Peace in Nigeria" symposium Friday was highlighted by an interruption by a pro-Biafran activist, the resigning of a panel member and a Nigerian diplomat's denial of
genocide and starvation in Biafra.
The symposium, sponsored by the Nigerian Student Union in America, considered the Nigerian Civil War issues and
Undergraduate men who fail to report their enrollment in school to their draft boards may face reclassification to 1-A, Kenneth Ivers, assistant to the dean of men, said yesterday.
Draft materials needed by boards
The machine-printed schedules included in the University fee statement and blue slips available from the dean of men, at the Kansas Union information desk and in men's living groups must be included in the student's report to his draft board, Ivers said.
Oral speech test fills requirement
KU students do not have to take Speech 1.
The speech exemption examination is designed for those students who have had previous experience in debate, high school speech courses or in student government. The exam fulfills the University requirement, a spokesman for the speech department said Monday.
He explained the examination is offered on a pass/no credit basis and meets the student's fundamental speech requirement. It also allows the student to enroll in courses which have a speech 1A or 1B prerequisite.
"During the fall semester 117 students took the examination and 79 were designated as 'pass'," Bobby Patton, Speech 1 director, said.
This semester, examinations will be administered Saturday mornings from 9 to 11:30 a.m. through April 1. Students must register in 6A Lindley Annex before noon Monday of the week the exam is to be given, the spokesman said.
Install new officers
Patton said the exam is oral and is based on a case study given to the student for evaluation. The student is allowed 30 minutes to prepare a 4- to 5-minute speech. The speech is then evaluated by three faculty members, and the student is questioned for two minutes about the speech's content and presentation. Results are later mailed to the student.
KU's chemistry fraternity, Kappa chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma has announced the installation of new officers.
Since the speech requirement is necessary for graduation from the College, and the Scolools of Business, Fine Arts, Journalism and Education, the examination will allow those students competent in speech to take another course, explained the spokesman.
They are: Dennis G. Morrell, Prospect Heights, Ill., senior, master alchemist; Bob Franzen, Webster Grove, Mo., junior, vice master alchemist; David Ballard, Carlsbad, N.M., sophomore, reporter; Richard Hoover, St. Louis junior, treasurer; Kwong Ching Li, Kowloon, Hong Kong, junior, recorder and John Gorman, Oradell, N.J., junior, historian.
arguments for the unity of Nigeria.
"If no one can speak for the other side, I refuse to participate in this symposium," said Roger Kanet, professor of political science and member of the symposium panel.
"The Selective Service Act," Ivers explained, "provides for deferment of undergraduate students upon request, to continue until the registrant completes the requirements of the baccalaureate degree, fails to pursue satisfactorily a full-time course of instruction or becomes 26."
Ivers commented that draft boards will soon begin wondering about men's status with the University. "They react in one of two ways," Ivers said. "Either they send a letter asking, 'Are you still in school?' or they slap you with a 1-A."
Ivers asked that men with draft problems visit him in his office, 228 Strong Hall. Ivers said he handles only draft counseling for the dean of men.
Kanet walked out when Howard Kahane, professor of philosophy, and his wife, Judith, both active in organizing a KU chapter of the Committee to Keep Biafra Alive, were refused permission to present the Biafran viewpoint.
Mrs. Kahane reminded A. Oruambo, Nigerian consul, of a previous agreement he had made to allow the presentation of the Biafran viewpoint.
Oruambo replied the decision should be left to the Nigerian students who had sponsored the symposium.

During the confusion after Kanet's walk-out, Kahane spoke of the food shortage which reportedly claims 10,000 lives daily in Biafra, genocide and the various prominent supporters of Biafra.
starvation and genoide were Biafran propaganda tools to get sympathy and assistance. When asked about pictures of starving Biafran children, he said the photos were of children in the Congo.
Oruambo previously said the Biafran situation "only exists in TV, radio and the movies."
The diplomat said the pleas of
