Landon Lectures,Convocations present current issues Appearing as a Landon Lecturer, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren told K-Staters that domestic peace in the United States is dependent upon the realiza- tion of the nation ' s 200-year-old promise of equality for all citizens. Otherwise, he said, the alternative is chaos. University Convocations, in addi- tion to the Landon Lectures, also of- fered students an opportunity to hear outstanding speakers. Akabar Abdul Haqq, an associate of Billy Graham, spoke to K-Staters on Man ' s Struggle for Relevance, explaining it in terms of man ' s con- tinual search for God and the spiritu- al part of himself. Other convocation speakers relied on diagnosing the ills of society. Shir- ley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to Congress, expounded on the social revolution in America as minority groups demand their rights in society and reject tokenism as a substitute for equal opportunity. Imperialism as an instrument of world politics was castigated by V.K. Krishna Menon, former Defense Minister of India, in a discussion of the rise of Asian nationalism and the political situation in Asia. Bill Russell, basketball star, spoke on the racial problem. He urged ev- eryone to work together. Shirley Chisholm Bill Russell 26

I hope he came for the students rather than to use the students. On the whole people supported what he said. Welcome secret police. I liked the points of his speech. I didn ' t agree with everything he said not enough solutions. I feel the student body was responding to the charge to work out solutions to our own problems. We were duped into a good PR job for him. Yet we can maintain a free society only if we recognize that in a free society no one can win all the time; no one can have his own way all the time; and no one is right all the time. But we cannot stand successfully for the rule of law abroad unless we respect the rule of law at home. ... willingness to listen to others without trying to shout him down. 25
