"When I ran, I considered being on the city Commission as a civic duty," Carter said. "I felt like, with the operational problems the city was facing, that it could serve as a businessman could be very productive."
"I think we've been extremely successful in the operational area. We've got the trash department straightened out, and we've really tightened out the contract and labor problems that we're facing." We've got an employee relations ordinance and our negotiation process is much smoother.
"When you get down to it, that's what city government's all about—police and fire, trash service, water service, things like that. If you don't have those, you've got serious problems."
CARTER SAID that he thought the issues before the city now were primarily political and social, but not economic.
"We've been able to split the politics and the operations pretty effectively," he said. "Consequently, the last two years of my term have been marked by a new emotional and political issues, such as the mail."
Carter said that despite the time he had
undergone changes in the department, a commissioner
end mayor, had bad records.
"The job requires a lot of patience, a lot of understanding, and it gets hard sometimes," he said. "But, it's nice to know that you've gotten a lot accomplished."
"There are a lot of things that most citizens would never recognize that have happened over a period of time that has made the city government a lot more effectively. I feel good about that."
of role for myself at all. I think the new commission will be finer. They're not going to need my help.
WHEN HE LEAVES the Commission, Carter said, he plans to devote more time to the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the United Fund, two groups he has been active in for years.
"As far as being directly active in the City Commission," he said, "I don't envision that sort
Carter said that, as mayor, he'd had the opportunity to meet people and do things he probably wouldn't have been able to do otherwise, "but I don't think I'll miss that."

Morris said that he wanted to help the city and offer it his best.
If a parking lot is really what you want then what you want is the best parking for your day.
HE PROVIDED STATISTICS for the commissioners that showed their projections for the rupture risk.
Morris said all 12 spaces were occupied nine hours a day, six days a week, at 10 cents an hour, the idle would earn $7,863 a year. With the other hours dedicated to work, it would take almost 32 years to pay for itself.
During the disagreement, Anderson sat calmly in the back of the room, smiling. He never added
"We are trying to make this intimation something we never intended to do." Commissioner Marci Piccoli
Mayor Ed Carter denounced Francisco's statement and said the commissioners would not change their minds on the parking lot plans. He also asked them to take bids for the lot until the plan was fixed.
BUFORD WATSON, city manager, asked Morris to help in the design of the lot and Morris accrued the fee.
He suggested that the city consider another lot for parking use and designate the Anderson lot.
"I will help if the city will respond," Morris said.
With the exception of Francisco, the commission did not welcome the suggestion.
IN OTHER BUSINESS, the City Commission voted unanimously to accept the Community Development Grant Advisory Board's recommendations for community development fund use after cutting about $24,000 from the proposed $908,000 fund.
A new $15,000 community development fund program was instituted this year for projects including curb cuts and added accessibility to public buildings and parks by the disabled.
The commission voted to defer funds for Hobbs Park light installation on multi-purpose courts, to asphalt Hobbs Park walkways and to expand the East Lawrence Center Parking lot.
Commissoner Don Bimbs said the cuts were made for the express purpose of the North Atlantic.
THE $24,000 CUT was earmarked for the improvement of North Second Street
The commission plans to raise $10,000 from other budget cuts for the improvements.
Classified Senate to define its legal purpose and identity
By KATHRYN KASE Staff Reporter
The KU Classified Senate, hoping for official University recognition, decided night to draw the floor.
Such a definition would allay KU administration fears that the Senate is a pre-union group, according to Suzanne Cupp, Senate president.
And it may aid the administration in recognizing the Senate.
"The legality of the Classified Senate is just floating out there," Lewin said. "And because of that, the administration does not know legally whom you represent and whom you speak for."
CURRENTLY, the administration cannot recognize the Senate because the group's legal purpose and identity is unknown. David Lewin, director of personnel), said..
While the administration may want to recognize the Senate, Lewin said, the legal question would be resolved.
"Hopefully, such a statement will make us more palatable to the administration," she said.
To resolve the legal question, Cupp said she would consult Vickie Thomas, University counsel.
SENATE PETITIONED the Senate executive committee last month for admission to University governance bodies, but was denied, in the case of the administration had not recognized Senate.
George Worth, SenEx president, also
questioned whether classified employees should sit on academic committees. Worth did encourage classified staff to request non-voting membership on University committees.
"And that's what we've been doing all along," Lewis Armstrong, associate librarian said.
In addition to continuing requests for non-voting committee membership, Joseph T. Collin, vertebrate zoologist, suggested that the Kenns strengthen its relations with the Kansas Legislature.
"I think we will probably have a better chance of becoming part of the University governance system by strengthening our ties with the legislature," Collins said.
SUCH STRENGTHENING would also alter the legislature from cutting the 5 percent cost of living increase requested for classified employees, he said.
"I got a copy of the 'hit' list from Sen. Jane Eldredge (R-Lawrence) and we're right at the top," Collins said. "But Jane Tulsen in her letter said she's grateful that we could save the 5 percent increase."
Collins, who lobbies for Senate, said his intent was to save the increase, not ask for more money.
"Some people call me and say why don't I ask for 15 percent," he said. "Right now, our philosophy is that we're trying to save what we have now. If we can do that, we're winners."
Collin's said he and other senators would contact local legislators today about the in-
