A proposed Reserve Officers Training Corps Board, recommended by the University Council at KU, was designed to give students a stronger voice about the role of ROTC on the campus. The 12-member board would have appointees by both the students and faculty. There was Vietnam War-era debate over whether the ROTC programs should be retained and given academic credit.

The city commission was forming a screening committee to pick a successor to Ray Wells as city manager. He was leaving to take a Muskegon, Mich., county administrator’s post.

Support for the Oct. 15 National Moratorium on Vietnam seemed to be gaining momentum across the country as well as on the KU campus.
