Europe impresses Watson
City Manager Buford Watson returned to Lawrence Sunday after spending four weeks in Europe studying city governments in England, Holland and Germany.
Watson said Monday that what impressed him most about the cities he visited was the development of the transportation systems, parks and downtown areas.
Wednesday, March 31, 1976
"They've done a good job," he said. The police kept the private population in the cites.
Watson was one of eight city managers in the United States chosen to participate in an urban government study project sponsored by International City Management Association
Watson said that the purpose of the project, which was funded by the Charles F. Kettering Foundation in Ohio, was to study the administration, politics and urban development policies of city governments in Europe.
"GOVERNMENT POLICY determer-
mentation influenced by political
policies," he said.
A report on the project will be released by the International City Management
Association in September, Watson said, and agreed to improve planning in the United States.
'Many of our cities have already dispersed here. Where there are still sites where this could be built.'
WATSON SAID ONE reason that the transportation was thriving was the transportation system.
"The public transportation system is expensive, but it gives better opportunities to get around. It has also been said." They rely strongly on the use of public transportation to the center of the city.
For example, Watson训引, Cologne, West Germany has 1,000 trains training in and out of the airport.
"it isn't even the largest system," he train are electric, quiet and in good condition.
In addition to the railways, Watson said, Europeans travel by bus and private car.
"One out of every four people in Germany has a car," he said.
Watson said that the downtown business
Sachsen chose a month ago to sever formal ties with KU rather than admit women, which the University administration said Title IX guidelines required.
Ounicron Delta Kappa will decide at its national convention April 2-4 whether Sachem Circle, a senior men's honor society no longer officially supported by KU, can remain a member of the national organization.
Sachem, founded in 1910, affiliated with Omicron Delta Kappa in 1947. Ed Rolfs, Sachem president, said yesterday that losing university support didn't hurt Sachem, and that Sachem would continue to lose its Omicron Delta Kappa affiliation.
Sachem's fate up to national body
"Regardless of what happens, Sachem will go on." Roffs said.
Hofs said Donald Alderson, dean of men,
still served as adviser to Sachem and Owl
Society, the junior's honor society,
which also has refused to admit women.
He was adviser on his own time,
however, instead of as part of his work
as dean of men.
Rolfs said KU was the first university he knew of to push its honor societies to go coed, which would make Sachem the test case for other Local Omicron Delta Kappa affiliates that refuse to go coed and lose university support.

"After World War II, they were practically startling over because many of their cities were 90 per cent destroyed," he said. "So they rebuilt and tried to relate that to the past." He added that the areas with pedestrian malls and plenty of parking spaces that are easily accessible.
areas of the European cities had been redeveloped to accommodate the public and reduce their reliance on the suburban area, which will become so popular in the United States.
