Faculty Senate Approves Minority Speakers Code
The Faculty Senate has reaffirmed the right of campus speakers to express controversial ideas, excepting only "the speaker who would use the free expression of ideas in such a manner as to inite to immediate riot or rebellion."
THE SENATE also expressed its desire that the faculty retirement age of 70 be retained. The Regents had asked the Senate for an expression of sentiment on a proposal that 68 be made the retirement age for both teaching faculty and administrators.
Elected to three-year terms on Senate committees were:
The Senate yesterday adopted a "policy statement on campus speaking" as recommended by its advisory committee.
Advisory committee: Charles K. Warriner, associate professor of sociology, and Alvin H. Schild, professor of education.
Committee on committees; Arthur W. Davidson, professor of chemistry.
Athletic board: Charles A. Reynolds, professor of chemistry, and William A. Conboy, professor of speech.
Text of the policy statement on campus speakers;
David Paretsky, professor of bacteriology, was appointed to the advisory committee to replace Prof. William Albrecht, who will be ineligible as dean of the Graduate School; Eldon Fields and Jacob Kleinberg, professors of political science and chemistry respectively, to substitute for Professors Louis Dellwig and James Seaver, on leave next year.
Edwin Elbel, professor of physical education, will become a Senate member of the athletic board to replace Prof. Charles Oldfather, who becomes the Chancellor's appointed chairman of the board.
Free trade in ideas is the fundamental operating principle of our democratic society. It would be expected that educational institution would support that principle. Such support, while only to be expected of educational institutions generally, becomes
ROTC Scholars Receive Awards
Four University of Kansas students are among the top scholars in the 400 schools offering ROTC in the nation.
Fred K. Green, Prairie Village senior, received the National Defense Transportation Association award given to Army ROTC students who studied in a related field of transportation. Green is majoring in international relations.
William M. Textor, Leavenworth senior, received the gold medal of the Society of American Military Engineering (SAME) given to Army ROTC seniors in engineering, Textor is majoring in architecture.
John T. Wettack Jr., Coffeville junior, also received SAME's gold medal as one of the top 20 junior engineering students in Army ROTC. Wettack is majoring in civil engineering.
Henry M. Dodd Jr., Independence, Mo., junior, received the SAME gold medal given to the top 15 junior engineering students in Naval ROTC. He is majoring in architectural engineering.
however, in the case of The University of Kansas, mandatory. Precisely because the University is a public educational institution, a branch of the oratory profession, it is a member society; it is incumbent on the University not merely to support but indeed to foster the fundamental principles of that society. So The University of Kansas must, at times, make of itself a marketing place for the free interchange of ideas.
The assembly places of the University must, therefore, be open to any properly spoken speaker who can respond to persuade by the expression *speak*. Or the speaker who would use the free expression of ideas in such a manner as to intimidate, discourage, or rebellion could reasonably be excluded.
While it is theoretically conceivable that some administrative screening device could be set up to exclude only those who show symptoms for inclusion in immediate breaches of the peace, recorded history, and experience as well, indicate that such an institutionalized screening device cannot readily identify groups or exclude speakers who express ideas currently out of favor with such groups. The danger to the free operation of the marketplace presented by such a screening device is that it would not provide it might provide on the rare occasion in which it could justifiably be used. That the University is a public institution inevitably prevents the rabite rouse from being excluded on a moment's notice by the appropriate use of administrative power,

It should be remembered that the question of campus speakers is only a part of the broader question of free exchange of knowledge and performance performances (plays, concerts, films, symposia, forums, etc.) as well as speeches, which any staff member or any registered and recognized studentUP students may attend. Permission is permitted on University property under such sponsorship. Adequate facilities should be provided, and University communication media for announcing such events are made available, and used when appropriate. This applies, for instance, to notices in the *Daily Kansan*; to announcements over the University radio station; and to notices on the general bulletin boards.
In opening its doors to any performer or speaker thus sponsored, the University may be obligated by approval on the quality of the performance or the reasonableness of the ideas expressed. Since however, the university may be obligated associated with that quality of performance or reasonableness of ideas, the University may be obligated by permission to domon of the sponsoring agency will be accompanied, as any freedom must, by a corresponding responsibility, to the undersigned in any case which will be made a refuge for intentional violators of public or private law.
Over the years, The University of Kansas has generally operated in accordance with the principles stated in the charter, and has sponsored for a wide variety of voluntary and officially sponsored forums, speeches, and performances. It is the hope of the university that its speakers may further strengthen the University's zealous dedication to them for the future.
