Several SDS members have been suspended or expelled from such universities as the University of Missouri at Columbia, Missouri, the University of Missouri at Kansas City, and Kansas University in Lawrence, Kansas. The authorities in Kansas City, Missouri, decided against taking legal action against the SDS members at the University of Missouri at Kansas City who disrupted classes in view of their expulsion from school. A member of the SDS in Kansas City, Missouri, was dismissed from his job as a teacher from the Kansas City, Missouri, School District which resulted in considerable publicity in the Kansas City area. Efforts are presently being made to have this individual reinstated. It is believed by the Kansas City Office that in view of the present interest in this matter and the fact that the local school board and local police department are involved in this matter that the Kansas City Office should avoid any involve- ment in this matter at this time. 2 1-717 A - Bureau (100-449698) (RM) REC-3100-449698-23-14 2- Kansas City R JPH/swb (4) F212 59 MAR5 1970 EX-111 MAR 2 1970 RESEARCH SECTION KC 100-12478 The Young Socialist Alliance is currently attempting to recruit additional members in Kansas City, Missouri, and Lawrence, Kansas; however, during the recent months, they have been relatively inactive.
