The piece condemns student demonstrators who canceled Friday’s chancellor review of the ROTC program at the University of Kansas. It laments weak university leadership and urges authorities to stand firm against dissidents, arguing ROTC is an approved curricular element by the State Board of Regents. The article questions who truly runs KU as radicals gain momentum.
The speaker argues that disrupting the ROTC review on campus harms students and demands the governor deploy state power to ensure the review proceeds. He calls for arrest and court action against any disruptors, asserting that only lawful enforcement preserves university rights and national law.

A 236 mile Kansas Turnpike from Kansas City to the Oklahoma line showcases Kansas life from industry to agriculture.
