George reported on the last meeting of StudEx which presented its recommendations on the recent referendum to Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers. The committee's findings were that there was not the 10 per cent election turnout required for the referendum's legality on the Wescoe Hall question. Therefore, the Senate's previous passage of the $7.50 increase in student activity fees is still valid.
The Senate empowered StudEx to act upon three resolutions on the agenda, because of lack of time. Those resolutions were an expression of sympathy to the students of Kent State University, a protest of the war in Vietnam and Cambodia; and commendation of SenEx, the Chancellor, the representatives of the armed forces, and administrative personnel for the cancelling of the ROTC review.

"We will continue to approach the problems of potential disorders responsibly."
"Today, we can perform no more urgent duty than to convince our young people and our adult citizens that we still have change in our society through our traditional and legislative processes. Violence only begets violence."

In a paper signed by Rae Sedgwick, Bonner Springs graduate student, the group was described as "committed students who are deeply concerned about the problems and issues which manifested themselves during the past few weeks." The paper also said there was a need of identifying the issues which are currently dividing the community.
The paper stated four points in achieving the Committee's goal. They are:
- Form interest groups comprised of concerned members from the community and the university to identify problems.
The committee hopes to work with the community of Lawrence to identify the specific issues contributing to dissension and disorder.
