By ELLEN WHITE
Kansan Staff Writer
The Lawrence Liberation Front was born last June when members were needed. The bread community needed an organization community oriented organization was needed to make the community self-sufficient and more
The LLF wanted to remove various problems of the "street" community in Lawrence. Trying to explain these people meant that the LLF would face opposition from the "establishment." Because of this opposition the people furnishing the LLF were forced to wish their names released for fear of possible reprisals. They will be identified in this article by names not their own for reasons other than by one of the members. Bob
"IF THEY (POLICE) got hip to the fact I'm active in LLF, I'd be sunk really fast."
Chris added while sipping a cake in the Trail Room. "I had to get the situation. They've tried to throw us in jail before for our political beliefs," he said.
Last spring there was a proposal to start a local chapter of the White Panther Party on June 13 a meeting was held on Corin hill in which two factions became evident. A majority of the White Panther Party be to too many. White Panther Party be to too many. The party be to too many. Serving all of the people. The proposal for the White Panther Party chapter was dropped and the LLF formed out of this

UNDER THE ORIGINAL sponsorship as a student medical project. Catalyst the LLF's first proposed projects were to establish a free medical clinic and form an information collective. The team has a large research base.
The information collective manned a 24 hour switchboard, attempting to aid people who
phoned them. The switchboard received calls inquiring about a person who traveled could sleep and calls from someone else. The person in charge referred any calls that deal with drug abuse to Headquarters, the police.
A cultural collective of the LLP sponsored a festival at Potter Lake July 15 with rock bands and a band called Wonderland candidates to an open air air场 by the lake to discuss some issues pertinent to Lawrence residents
IN JULY, after Rick Dowdle
had a brief emergency meeting. The reactions of the members were varied, with some being more
interested.

"We formed the Kaw Valley team Pickers Association in 1906 and recruited members carrying members then, I estimate the total voting memembers."

Rice the LLF decided that definite action was needed from the group as a whole.
"There are interlocking directors." One of the original founders, the Association said the group was promoting collective bargaining, truth in packaging and selling crops, and protection of small farmers' crops. When asked about the threats one charter member replied.
"The LLF came out with the stand," said Chris, "that something had to be done to stop large groups from gathering. After Monday night people said that the police would shoot."
Some representatives of the LLF met with the Kansas Highway Patrol to discuss ways Oread Avenue and the entire city.
The other collectives which evolved under the LLF are; the information collective, the defense collective, the legal self protection collective, the conspiracy, the tenants union and the women's collective.
Chris went on to say, "We could only promise that if police did come, they would be trouble. After that they (police) did pretty much stay out."
WHEN ONE MEMBER of the LLF was asked what connection the organization had with the Kata Group, the Association Bill answered.
THE LEGAL DEFENSE collective was set up to provide bail and lawyers to members of the community when they were trying to get a collective attempted to raise funds by showing newsreels at Freedom Palace in Kansas City last summer. Some of the reasons why they succeeded were given by Bob afternoon in the Gaslight.
"The real reason for the benefit between us and the government is designed to make money. Our profits aren't in money. They are in people," she said. "We would get closed down. We would have had to buy two cars to be at home."
and canned goods bought from local farmers and markets at cost to resell to the community at cost to organize renters in Lawrence that are having problems with the physical conditions of their homes, and not uncooperative landlords. The women's collective is promoting the women's liberation movement as spreading across the nation.
THE OFFICIAL publication of the LLF initially came out as a biweekly paper first called the *Headminder*. The Headminder and finally the Oread Daily. Issues put out last summer solidifying community action in response to local strife. With classes resumed, the editors wrote a book about reunited to Lawrence, and there been a transition towards the modern era in mines. The paper was first printed around the 10:30 class break when most students would be on campus to appear daily. News analysis, a new feature, requires additional research, now appear in mid-afternoon.
"When students came in we had to totally reorient the paper," said O.D. editor, "We are now in a state of flux."

The LLIF's FOCAL point is now the O.D. office located in the Kansas University which has access to student office facilities.
"We're here cause it's convenient," said one O.D. staff member. "We receive nothing from these of files down here."
The projects the LLF has been working on recently include helping to organize support for
the C.M. Moore strike in Kansas City and sponsoring a Sock Hop at Wesley Center last Saturday.
The LLF grew out of a need for an organization to exist to promote stability and to ease the transition. The Lawrence felt clamping down on it last summer. The LLF feels that positive growth in the community up programs and keeping these programs open to new Lawrence residents. One member commented after a recent LLF meeting.
"We're working with the people to fulfill and express their needs, without the people we are afraid of, with the words that express the movement, survival struggle and survival the survival stage in Lawrence."
Kansan Rolls Past Sixtieth Anniversary
The University Daily Kansan began over half a century ago, along with early development of the university at the University of Kansas.

The Kansan began as the University Kansan in the year 1889, but existed for only one year. In 1893, the university closed fourteen years later, on Sept. 17, 1904, it started once again. By 1910, the name University Kansan has been adopted again. The university closed a week ahead of only two.
The first issue of the University Daily Kansan was published Jan. 16, 1912, and the Kansan has been a daily paper ever since.
Hand in hand with the development of the Kansan was the development of the department. The department's journalism were first offered at KU in the academic year 1903-04. The course schedule included courses in history, sociology, law and newspaper writing.
Most of the reactions of editors nationwide were favorable, some were not.
An editor of the Kansas City Star said, "You can't teach journalism. It is a trade, not a profession."
of Kansas papers who encourage this piece of foolishness by giving lectures before the class deserve criticism they will someday meet.
But journalism education at KK continued in 1944 with the University of Washington. White Paper Journalism succeeded what had previously been called the "Sacrifice Journalism."
On Oct. 5, 1970, the Kansan returned to full formal for the first time at his school in Monroe Donce Shreveport, La., senior and editor of the report, La., said that the return to the larger Kansan campus would allow pictures and stories more attractive display. The Kansan can now be more in-depth articles, he said.
