Kent State professor speculates
There is an atmosphere of despair and apathy among the faculty and students that are left in the community. Many of them feel something needs to be done, but have no idea what to do. As it stands now, the university remains closed by a court injunction enacted by the Portage County Prosecuting Attorney. He has total say over the university at this time. Once again, as when the National Guard was called in, the university was not consulted at any level. The state police have totally cut off access to the campus except for one entrance. The only people who can enter are full-time faculty members who may come on campus between 8 and 5 to get grades out. The hill of the murders has been roped off and is being combed by a large number of F.B.I. agents.
which would make it "unlawful for Kansas men to fight outside the boundaries of these United States without an official declaration of war by the Congress of the United States."
The atmosphere is one of total polarization and fear throughout the community. The fear is mainly centered around what would happen if the campus was reopened. The feeling is that the university will never again run normally.
A "Pleading Kansas" assembly will be held today on the south lawn of the capitol building in Topeka at 1:30 p.m.
Student peace marshals will accompany the delegates from the colleges and universities. Over 200 peace marshals from KU have volunteered to help maintain order and to fulfill the peaceful intentions of the assembly. Marshals will wear white arm bands, Head marshals, who will be in close contact with police, will wear yellow arm bands. Participants in the rally are expected to number over three thousand.
Spokesmen for the "Pleading
Kansas" committee from KU are Ken Cummins, Bill Ebert, Dr. Robert Shelton and Dale Olen. Dale Olen, speaking for the committee, said, "We believe the only way to achieve peace is to be peaceful ourselves. Aside from applying political pressure on our state officials, we hope that this rally will generate interest and enthusiasm among students across the state to take a more active part in the peace movement."
