the Kansas Union and was rent with student demonstrations against the war in Southeast Asia.
MORE TROUBLE developed during the summer when a black former student was shot to death by a Lawrence police officer and another student was killed in a street confrontation
This fall more fighting has taken place at Lawrence High School.
Kay called for "open and free discussion" and said he thought at least six topics should be touched:
BETTER COMMUNICATION and cooperation between the city, the University, and the public schools.
- IMPROVEMENT of police and community relations
- BLACK - WHITE relations.
- CITY-WIDE citizenship promotion.
- ● THE SO-CALLED town-gown split.
- JOB OPPORTUNITIES for the unemployed and the underemployed.
Of the town-gown split, Kay said that some members of the city felt the University was using Lawrence as a laboratory for revolution through the black community and the Indian students at Haskell American Indian Junior College.
Following the opening comments, the meeting broke into ten smaller groups for informal discussion.
Reports by the chairmen of each group said:
- REGULAR MEETINGS must be established between Lawrence and KU representatives to continue communication. These meetings should include conferences with the young and alienated to involve
Vehicle Eases Airport Woes
NEW YORK (UPI)—Plane Mate, a unique 150-passenger vehicle which will transport air passengers to and from terminals and remotely-parked aircraft will be placed in service next year by American Airlines, Pan American World Airways and Delta Air Lines.
Over the past several months Plane-Mate, produced by the Budd Company, has been used at Kennedy Airport here by 55,000 passengers on all operational commercial jets, including the 747. The climate-controlled vehicle reduces walking and, by using an elevated body, eliminates step climbing as it carries people to and from second level terminals directly to the door sill of aircraft.
them in solving problems.
- THERE SHOULD be an effort to attract black business and professional people to Lawrence, to identify the jobs blacks want, to train blacks to fill the jobs and then to provide the jobs.
- THERE SHOULD be an upgrading of vocational training, giving greater dignity and appeal for the young.
- CITIZENS should be given more information on salaries of police, firemen and campus security officers so that the community could expect public service equal to the level of payment to public servants. This might encourage approval of tax increases.
- ENCOURAGEMENT and support should be given to those groups who are reaching young black and white students, such as the Lawrence Branch of the Concerned Black Parents.
THE UNIVERSITY should encourage town participation in its programs so that there would be mutual involvement in all programs and a greater sense of being one community.
After the meeting had adjourned for an informal mixer, Kay gave his reactions:
"Our success today will be measured in time, according to the results it produces. The results, I think, will be long-term, but at least we've started."
Kay said the Chamber of Commerce would review the motions made during the meeting, eliminate duplications and then see which of them were feasible.

pear on the ballot deal with the value of the Student Senate, the degree of involvement an official body of the University should have in political activity, the effect of the actions taken by the Board of Regents and the effectiveness of the Chancellor's actions.
The results of the vote on this group of questions will be released as soon as tabulation can be completed after the polls close, according to Roberts.
Other questions on the ballot are designed to measure the awareness students have of what the Student Senate is doing. The resulting information gained from those questions will be analyzed and released about two weeks after the election.
An opinion poll of the same general design will be employed during spring elections, Roberts said, to determine what kind of shift, if any, occurs in student opinion during the academic year.
He emphasized that the opinion poll was for all students and not freshman alone.
Voting booths for the general student election will be in Strong Hall, the Kansas Union and Murphy Hall.
Polls for the Oliver College Student Senate election will be in Oliver Hall.
Candidates for the Oliver College position are Larry Hampton, Tampa, Kan., freshman, and Craig Parker, Topeka sophomore.
Elections for Student Senator from the School of Education will be Oct. 5 in Bailey Hall.
Gay Lib Hosts Discussion
The Lawrence Gay Liberation Front will host an open discussion session on homosexuals in society at 2 p.m. Sunday. Members from the Lawrence Front and the Kansas City Caucus will be present in an effort to discuss homosexuality with all interested persons. Further information is available by calling 843-7836 or 842-0189.
Free Busing for GSP. Corbin
There is now a free evening bus service for residents of GSP and Corbin Halls according to J. J. Wilson, director of housing. The service will follow a route from Corbin Hall to Murphy Hall, leaving Corbin every 30 minutes from 6:50 p.m. to 9:50 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, said Wilson.
Max Exhibit Sets Record
A record 13,211 visitors viewed the Peter Max exhibit during its 29-day stay at the University of Kansas Museum of Art, according to Lee Schmeil, senior security officer at the museum. Though most of the viewers were students, a number of older people saw the exhibit, which was on loan from the M. H. DeYoung Museum in San Francisco. It was on display Aug. 30-Sept. 28. The show's opening drew 1,145 viewers in three hours, and as many as 600 persons a day visited it the following days. The next exhibit planned for the Museum of Art is a show of new acquisitions. The exhibit is planned for mid-October, according to Bret Waller, museum director.
