This letter is directed to all students
at K.S.U. who organized. supported or in any way
participated in or observed the recent tragic
events on campus. The entire nation was shocked,
frightened, and appalled at these events but
probably none as badly as you were. For many of
you this was your first close encounter with
sudden. violent death.

But death.is not a new arrival on the
K.SOU. campus. Remember. Just last month Jerry
Rubin came to Kent and told you that you should
the ready to kill your own parents in support of
"the revolution."

Unquestionably a few were glad this tragedy
took place and will seek to cause others. But for
the majority of you who were saddened--if you
donft like the heat perhaps now is a good time

to get out of the kitchen.
