Regents reluctant to give views on Velvel-Litto promotion issue
SUA Minority Opinions Forum and the Lawrence Peace Center national Affairs representative.
"I think there are ways to settle issues other than rioting and destroying property," Basham said.
In Kansan interviews this past weekend most members of the Board of Regents were reluctant to discuss the outcome of the Velvel-Litto promotion vote scheduled for the next regents meeting April 24.
SUA to interview for committees
The only regent willing to discuss the issue, Jess Stewart of Wamego, indicated that Velvel and Litto would receive their promotions.
Henry Bubb and Paul Wunsch, the two regents who wanted to deny promotions to Velvel and Litto on March 21, were unwilling to discuss the issue.
"Personally, I feel that the problem will be resolved and promotions will be recommended," he said.
The Student Union Activities association will be holding interviews for committee chairmen starting Thursday evening and scheduled for evenings through next week. Applications are due in the SUA office by 5:00 p.m. the day of the interview. Each interview is five minutes long. For further information, contact SUA board members or call the SUA office, UN4-3477.
The promotions for Lawrence Velvel, associate professor of law, and Fredric Litto, assistant professor of speech and drama, have been delayed since March 21
pending the regents evaluation of additional information concerning their academic qualifications. The delay was prompted by political controversies concerning the two men.
Stewart, like most of the regents contacted, felt the April 8 student strike was "very calm."
"It looks like they had fun," said William Danenbarger of Concordia. "I thought the students handled themselves real well and I'm pleased at the way things went," he pointed out.
"I'm pleased at the way the students handled themselves," Stewart said.
"I think the least you (the Daily Kansan) say about it, the better," Wunsch said.
Elmer Jackson of Kansas City, Kan., said he felt that it wasn't really a strike.
