Velvel to speak on 'Seven'
Lawrence Velvel, professor in the KU School of Law, will speak before the Faculty Forum meeting tomorrow at noon. His topic is the "Chicago Seven" trial.
Copies of petition backing the right of a faculty member to say what he believes were presented Tuesday to Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr., legislators and the Kansas Board of Regents.
Petition supporting Velvel presented by law students
The Faculty Forum meets at the Westminster Center, 1204 Oread.
Tom Ashton, Lawrence second year law student, said he presented the petitions to Sen. Glee Smith, R-Larned, president pro tem of the Kansas Senate; Sen. Reynolds Shultz, R-Lawrence; Sen. Lester C. Arvin, R-Rose Hill, and to the Board of Regents and Chalmers.
The petition was circulated in support of Lawrence Velvel, associate professor of law, after Senators Shultz and Arvin called for his dismissal following Velvel's speech Feb. 17 in which he addressed participants in a demonstration protesting the "Chicago 7" case.
Ashton said the petition contained 190 signatures, an estimated 80 per cent of the students in the KU School of Law.
