Local election plans overshadow primary
By RENE BELL Staff Reporter
While the rest of the state concentrations on the first Kansas presidential primary, city commissioners and Lawrence residents have another election on their minds.
After the primary polls have closed tonight, the Lawrence City Commission will meet and elect a new mayor.
During the past week and a half, two different proposals, one submitted by Mayor Barry Clark and one by Commissioner Ed Carter, have been presented for changing the mayoral selection process. They have drawn criticism from Lawrence residents.
Carter's original proposal calls for an commissioner, a secret ballot of the commissaries. There are three tions, one for mayor and one for vice mayor, and two nominations would be required for the commissioner.
He changed his suggestion, however, from secret balloting to open balloting so the plan would not conflict with open meeting laws.
Clark said he plans to withdraw his proposal in favor of Carter's.
The current selection process, based on addition, calls for a rotation of the office manager to a new commissioner who received the most votes when he or she was elected to the com-
Trom Gleason, president of the Oread Neighborhood Association, expressed concern that the public would have little to learn from the mayor or the new selection proposal passed.
He said he also wondered about the proposal's timing, as did Barbara Wilkins of the East Lawrence Improvement Association.
Wilkins said that changing the system would amount to changing the rules in the middle of the game because present participants were elected under the present system.
According to the present system, Carter should be elected mayor tonight.
Three neighborhood association presidents will turn to Lawrence citizens this week in continuing their resistance against the decision to allow development of the Bluffs.
Bluff rezoning contested
The presidents will place ads in the University Daily Kansan and the Lawrence Journal-World to solicit donations. The president Richard Spear said yesterday.

The money, which must be collected before the developers present their site plans to the commission, would be combined with the money left in a fund for the city so that no other city plans to build a garage in the Pineville neighborhood, he said.
SPEAR SAID he saw no recourse other than a lawsuit for Pinkney residents who could be harmed by the development neighborhood at S13th and Jowa街 sites.
The fund would be available to residents who wanted to contest irresponsible zoning decisions, he said.
The three neighborhoods, along with Old West Lawrence, had asked the commission not to approve the development last month, arguing that the city should respect the Pinkney recommendation that the Bluffs be preserved.
Tom Gleason of the Oread neighborhood and Dick Dunhaupt of the East Lawrence neighborhood are helping with the fund drive, Seaar said.
However, city officials said the commission's decision not to buy the land for a park invalidated the neighborhood plan's proposal and called for regoning.
"They're entitled to do that," he said, "but I think they've got a loser."
"I think the courts generally support the rights of the cities to make zoning decisions."
Gleason said the commission's failure to give more consideration to the Pinkney plan would be the main legal argument against the city.
But Clark said he thought the commission had acted fairly.
LAWRENCE MAYOR Barkley Clark said he was not worried about the possibility of a lawsuit.

By the time he makes full lieutenant - age 24 or 25 - an officer can have more managerial experience than most civilians do at thirty.
