Commission Hears Agencies Plead For City-Wide Transportation Here
By BOB MARCOTTE
Representatives of five local service agencies strongly urged the Lawrence City Commission yesterday to investigate the possibility of a wide public transportation to Lawrence.
Marilyn Bradt, 2013 Naismith Dr., president of the Lawrence League of Women Voters, urged the commission to consider a comprehensive transportation
"Whatever the short-term outcome of the current energy crisis, transportation in Lawrence is a continual problem," she said. Public transportation, she said, is usually a "classic bus system" that offers a set schedule of routes and times.
"Perhaps our approach to public transportation needs to be a little more imaginative than in the past," she said. "Encourage people to use public transportation requires having that transportation available when and where it is needed."
CAROL WORTH, 2427 Harvard Road, of the Human Relations Commission, said that the HRC had been approached by several groups asking for help with transportation
Those groups include Haskell students, people who have been unable to accept jobs in outlying areas because of a lack of transportation and parents in the Hope Plaza area where children had had difficult access to school and to recreation sites, she said.
Representatives of Headquarters, a crisis referral center, the Douglas County Council on aging and Penn House, a community self-help organization, outlined the goals for providing transportation, especially for the elderly and for people with lower incomes.
Commissioner Fred Pence cautioned, "It's going to be a problem not to lose a whole lot of money" if the city provides public transportation. He suggested that it should first be determined how many people need to travel by bus or car and where the service is most needed.
COMMISSIONER BARKLEY Clark said that "one of the best surveys you can make is to run buses for a while on a test basis" to facilitate a useful bus system in Lawrence would be.
But Commissioner Jack Rose disagreed. The city attempted a three-month trial in North Lawrence earlier, he said, and found that the short-term service hadn't lasted
long enough to change the transportation of residents and give accurate results
City officials will meet tomorrow with a representative of the Department of Transportation to discuss the possibility of receiving fees for public tram travel. Lawyers
The commission approved plans and specifications for the third phase of the project.

Ingmar Bergman's 'Shame' Excels Technically, Is Easily Understood
By JEFF LOUGH
Kanaan Reviewer
"Shame" will be shown at 7:30 and 9:30 in woodward Auditorium. Admission is free.
Tonight the SUA Classical Film Series begins its semester's offerings with a 1968 film directed by the Swedish master, Inmar Bergman.
'Shame' is a film that should appeal not only to those who are members of the
dramatize the characters' emotions and their problems with the environment occur throughout the film: a close pyramidal shot of the husband and wife holding his old violin while they talk of their past musical lines; the long stretch of shore, like the edge of a river; and the scene by the side of a fast-flowing stream when the rushing water mutes the voices.
The young married concert violinists are found isolated in exile on an island near their homeland. They have escaped a wartorn fatherland and are trying to make a living raising flowers on a dead relative's farm.
AS WAR ENVELOPES their lives, critical features in their personalities undergo sometimes grotesque and always believable changes.
Striking visual correlations mirror the subtle psychological changes of the man, played by Max von Synd, and his wife, played by Liv Ullman.
Although some of the earlier reviewers of this film saw it as a comment on Sweden's neutrality throughout contemporary periods of war, the film probably is best seen as a striking visual portrayal of a few extremist problems that man has created for himself.
Bergman cult or who try to understand significance to contemporary works of cinematic art, but also to those who are less famous and demanding vision.
"Shame" combines the traditional Bergman excellence in technique with a theme and story clearly presented and understandable.
PERIHAPS THE FILM could be thought of as a grammar for a special language of the cinema. Like other linguistic grammars, it is used with symbols assumed to be already understood by the audience. More specifically, the human experiences of war, jealousy and desperation are reinterpreted in film. The novel is created by the cameraman, Sven Nyklut.
