Eleven of 14 candidates for the Lawrence City Commission and members of Local 1596 of the International Association of Fire Fighters for met for more than four hours Sunday in what local 1596 President Alvin Samuelts termed an informal meeting.
Candidates Address Firefighters' Meeting
"We invited them to our meeting to tell us their platforms and what they intend to do if we succeed."
One question that arose at the session involved two sections of the city employees manual, one which restricts city employees from taking part in politics.
"You could say that we're definitely thinking of holding a public meeting after the primary," Samuels said. "It will be the day we get back to work and this time, but with the public invited."
Each candidate limited his talk to about five minutes to allow time for questions from firemen, Samuels said The meeting was in the Douglas County State Bank, Ninth and Kentucky streets, and was not open to the public.
Robert Haralick, associate professor of electrical engineering and city commission candidate, told firemen that he would be able to re-commission meeting the section be changed.
"There are a couple of things in the manual that should be changed," Haralick
"One section has to do with city employees not being allowed to talk to city commissioners unless they have the expressed permission to be bigger." That's bad management of the city.
"The other section has to do with city employees' not being able to take part in

School Study Plan Set Up
At Monday night's Lawrence Board of Education meeting, Williams outlined the program that the Lawrence school district and the Kansas University of Kansas School of Education.
A form of behavior modification called contingency management is being applied on an experimental basis at East Heights and on the campus to Ira Williams, East Heights principal.
Williams presented a slide show to the board that explained the program.
The program operates under the assumption that a student will be more likely to study if he is allowed to do things he prefers to do only after he finishes studying.
Rick Garland, Lawrence graduate student, proposed the program to the district. Garland said that this program was successful at the University of Southern California.
KU became interested in the program along with other universities across the Western United States and is participating with some of these universities, through an organization known as Western Interlock, in experimenting with the program.

that the system required more teacher participation with individual students. She said that it was sometimes difficult to help all the students who needed help.
Despite this problem, Richardson remained committed to the program. She said she would find a solution to this problem so the program could be continued.

Carl Knox, Lawrence superintendent of schools, said that curriculum planning was in the best condition it had been since he came to the district 11 years ago.

Richardson said that her classroom was divided by a partition into a "task" area and a "recreation and entertainment" area. Her students are given a set amount of work to complete based on their ability. When they complete their assigned tasks, they are allowed to move to the recreation area until all other students are through.

In 1972 roughly one-third of the Senate Public Works Committee meetings were held in secret. The figure for the Senate Agriculture Committee was 59 percent of the total committee meetings over 90 percent. The House Ways and Means Committee, which drafts the laws governing every federal tax dollar you and I pay, is notoriously secret. Security is so light that even the staff assistant of a Conference on Energy must not attend the closed meetings. What are they hiding?

One of the weird and nonsensical facts about our government — at all levels — is that much of the public doesn't know what they are doing. Citizens assume that only questions of national security and some aspects of criminal justice are dealt with in secret. Little do they know Most of the time citizens ask questions to them they conduct our business is none of our business.

THE SCANDAL OF SECRECY
All sessions of congressional committees — and records of all votes taken at such sessions — should normally be open to the public. Committees should be allowed to close a meeting only for considerations of security, confidentiality of personal privacy, and the procedure for closing it should be carefully protected against abuse.
John W. Gardner, Chairman Common Cause Former Secretary of Health, Education and Wellness
In the Executive Branch, virtually everyone associated with national security acknowledges that the system of classifying documents to preserve secrecy has been badly abused — all too often for the purpose of concealing bureaucratic error. And the zeal for secrecy extends to every government agency uninterested in what happens. Many agencies often meet behind closed doors, omit public hearings, and suppress reports the public should see.
Of course, the secretry involved is only secret-from-front of the desk. You can't well what goes on in those hush-hush meetings. Quite often they're right in there with the decision makers. The only one who has splashed in his Iowa from bumped into a fight at the university.
Now there is a resolution before the Senate — sponsored by Senators Humphrey (D., Minn.) and Roth (R., Del.) (plus 11 other sponsors) which would open all Senate committee meetings. A bill (S 260) recently introduced in the Senate by Lawton Chiles of Oklahoma, would open all Legislative and Executive Branch meetings except those dealing with national security or involving personal privacy.
Information is power, and secrecy is the most convenient means of keeping that power out of the hands of the people. What the people don't know, they can't object to.
It's time to cha age all that. And you can help. Write your two Senate, s and your Congressman. Tell them you want them to open up the system. Or join Com-Transact. Or do any of these (20037) and ally yourself with 200,000 other members in getting these changes made. We're going to give you the membership rate is $7.00. Don't use stand there!

Samuels said that local firefighters were considering a move that would bring a city to the center of the country.
