THE GOLDEN LEAVES of autumn decorated the trees on campus for an unusually long time this year, but all good things must come to end. The rain showers and winds of the past few days lossened the trees, allowing them fluttering down to brighten for a moment, the ground.

To many KU students, the sad events of this past summer at KU are still painfully memorable. But how many of these students have actually spent any time at KU? Do they know what problems which confront us?
At least one has. His name is Richard K. Walker. He graduated last spring from KU, and he was shot during the summer. Shortly after the shootings in July, Walker decided that something had to be done to alleviate that type of vulnerability. In deliberation, he concluded that many of these problems could be solved by bettering the relations between the community, with its police groups, and the police department.
According to Walker, he began discussions of this problem with the city council. In a short time, with the indication of support by his friend, he devised a program of police-community relations, Walker said.
Until the 16th of October, Walker said, he had a hope for securing the position, but at that time he was notified by City officials that it would be financially impossible that it would be financially hire him.
He said that his proposed program called for the formation of a police department. The title of this new position would be to lead a police officer. After further indication of support by the city council, Walker decided to turn down his offer and join a graduate of year study in Britain so that he might become the main force for filling this position, he said.
Walker said, however, that at least the city had recognized a need for a change, "but making the change is something else."
Walker gave the following outline of his proposed functions for a police-community relations officer: to serve first as a liaison in at least three areas: between the university and the city; between the high school and the city; and between dissident groups and the city.
He said that the community relations officer should serve as a communication bridge between these segments of the community.
To promote better communication, Walker said, regular contacts between community segments of the community would be established. These would provide great potential for building awareness of the causes of violent confrontations.
The next function of the officer would be to serve as a public relations officer, he said.
"The police-community relations officer would be given special training in community groups, especially those of right-wing leagues, in an effort to better explain the nature of the police department and alleviate some of the pressures these groups bring to bear on the police department for more efficient enforcement."
also educational sessions in which police will be kept more accurately informed of those in such which they will have to cope.
He said that the officer also would serve to supplement police authority and have a chief of police, he said, the community relations officer and the police department prepare all police officers for handling situations of social distress.
Walker pointed out that the officer also could be used as an adjunct to the police department, and bear complaints against the police department, such as alleged police harassment, and attempt to alleviate the problems with the police department, he said, the officer would hear the grievances of the police officers and attempt to alleviate the problems with the officers to cope with them.
He added that this would presumably include more extensive training in the handling of potentially violent situations and
Walker also proposed some special police programs. He included in the outline items like crowd and riot control training for all officers, police officers in the local police force by allowing officers to attend certain policice government related courses such as law enforcement KU human relations department to allow policeman to attend special police units organization of "Street People" peace marshal patrols and the creation of a criminology major
But Rick Walker is a very smart guy. He frustured young man because he and his program have been thrown out of the building. Borford Watson, city manager, said that at the present time it would be financially impossible for him to help the city had already spent $21,680 on the Menninger
contact with each other and the police. Phase 4—Workshops in solving. Phase 5—Evolvement and Reorganization for action, and Reorganization for action, the program ongoing without the assistance of the Meninger member.
Watson briefly explained the engender program he said that in 1980 was used to investigate this community, they had found that the focal point of the investigation was on the relations of the police with the rest of the community and that they were trying to establish the ideas of the police being the protector instead of the detective.
Walker said the main problem with the Menninger program was the need for a separate program, that is, the program to load the data. The professional assistance had given
Watson outlined the program's following phases: Phase 1—High level policy commitment, wherein the police department and community would have to commit themselves fully to the program. Phase 2—Preparatory, wherein the police department has developed the successful functioning of the program. Phase 3—Establish and organize function of a steering committee, wherein the different members of the police and their leaders would come into

Because the city cannot financially support Walker's program, he has been looking for university support.
Although the Meningerin promptly proxies precisely $2,000, Walsh said his program couldn't cost more then $3,000 a year. He added that if he were to prevent another shooting incident like that of this past week,
