Symposium on Dissent receives 'OK' at UMKC
KANSAS CITY - The University of Missouri Board of Curators voted 7-1 yesterday against calling off the first Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Symposium on Dissent scheduled for Feb. 13-14 on the UMKC campus.

The objecting curator, William H. Billings, Kennet, Mo., is opposing the symposium because of the liberal and leftist views held by some of the speakers.
Among speakers scheduled to appear are Dr. Benjamin Spock, Vietnam war protestor, Staughton Lynd, New Left writer and professor; the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Southern Christian Leadership Conference; and Pete Seeger, folk singer-activist.
"The symposium will take place barring further litigation by Judge Billings," a student representative said. "As you know, the Judge previously disclosed he would take legal action to prohibit the symposium if the board of curators did not vote to prohibit it."
Crawford and Mrs. Ann Boees served as committee advisers.
Billings, judge of the 35th judicial district in Missouri and vice-president of the curators has mounted a one-man campaign to prohibit the use of University buildings and facilities and University money, including student activity fees, for the symposium.

'The University administration has received many letters of protest from individuals and groups with the majority objecting to the symposium,' said Harry Widmar, associate dean of students.
Widmar said this was usually the case, however, because those who approve make up the silent majority.
Among the groups protesting were the Heart of America Conservative Club and the Republican Club for Business and Professional Women.
"We wanted to do something valuable so we chose the Labor Department because this is the only area where legislation could begin. We want people to be aware that the condition exists." Miss Elledge said.
The Rev. Raymond B. Bragg, pastor of the All Souls Uitianarian Church of Kansas City, Mo., said he would recommend his church board offer its facilities if the University of Missouri Board of Curators banned the symposium.
Rep. Allard K. Lowenstein, D-N.Y., keynote speaker of the symposium is a member of the New Democratic Coalition national steering committee.
Newsletter chairman Harriet Lawrence of the New Democratic Coalition of Kansas City, Mo. said a letter was sent to the UMKC administration officials supporting the symposium.
Other speakers include Tom Hayden, founder of Students for a Democratic Society; Charles Evers, field secretary for the NAACP in Mississippi; Irving Howe, English professor at Hunter College; Martin Griglak, labor leader, who has served on the campaign committees of the late Kennedy brothers and Sen. Eugene McCarthy; and Harry Edwards, organizer of the Olympic boycott.
The report stated that college-educated women with
10. 5 years of service earn $480 per month, whereas the average college-educated man with slightly fewer years of service (9.3) makes almost twice as much per month ($724).
Elledge, Mason City, Iowa junior and committee chairman accompanied Emily Taylor, dean of women to the state-wide commission meeting in Salina. At this time they volunteered to take on the study.
"Our goal is to make people aware the commission exists," Miss Elledge stated."We wish to get University women involved.
The fall Miss Elledge chose six other KU women through interviews to comprise the committee. Miss Suzanne
Where does an engineer intern?
Before you decide on the job that's to start you on your professional career, it's good to ask a few point blank questions . . . like:
- Will this job let me rub shoulders with engineers doing things that haven't been done before, in all phases of engineering?
- Will I be working for an engineering oriented management whose only standard is excellence?
- Will I have access to experts in fields other than my own to help me solve problems and stimulate professional growth?
- Will I be working with the widest range of professional competence and technological facilities in the U. S.?
- Are engineering careers with this company stable . . . or do they depend upon proposals and market fluctuations?
