Menninger Study Draws Displeasure
The official response to the Meningen Police-Community Relations Study made by the Lawrence City Commission Tuesday afternoon was one of displeasure.
Mayor Bob Pulliam said that the commission was unhappy with the results of the report and said that he would like to have a continuation of the workshop study to determine the needs and wants of the various minority groups and the police department.
Rawleigh Zilliox, representing the Menninger Foundation which helped fund the project, said that he was also displeased with the results and said that he felt a continuation of the study was mandatory.
John Nairimore, who also represented the study administration, stated that he was unhappy with the results, specifically the finding that his department had resulted. He said that the findings in the city had responded to were those recommendations concerning the police department and not the more serious problems facing Lawrence citizens.
The city has hired two persons for the police department to staff a permanent community relations department. Their role will be paid for out of the current 1972 budget.
Other recommendations are the city formation of foot patrols in the city to better acquaint police officers with their districts and a program to let members of the police force train them as patrolmen in an effort to show the public the problems which face the police officer.

However, Narimore said that there were many people in Lawrence who were starving and that money was what these people needed most.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrat Wendell Ford recaptured the Kentucky governorship for his party Tuesday in one of the key off-year elections being watched by national political strategists for presidential-year trends.
With 1,374 of the state's 3,072 precincts reported; Ford County had 294,694 calls to 175,083 calls.
With 290 of 2,498 prescents counted,
Walker had 62,547 votes to only 14,260 for
the race.
In Mississippi, Democratic nominee William Waller of Jackson was elected governor, turning back the bid of Fayetteville to win in the first black man in the governor's nomine
The Kentucky race had been a top target for the trend seekers with Ford, the current lieutenant governor, pitching his own campaign at the university on Republican and Nixon economics.
In Philadelphia, where the law-and-
order issue got its primary testing, former
U.S. House Speaker Dodd-Frank
signed a landmark law.
L. Rizzo defeated Republican reformer W Thacher Longstreth.
WITH 90 PER CENT of the 1,756 precincts reported, Rizzo had 358,780 and Longstreet 303,088. Four minor party candidates, two of them women, were out of sight—and their votes were not immediately counted.
In Boston, where the same issues were present to only a slightly less feverish degree, incumbent moderate Mayor Kevin de defeated U.S. Rep. Louise Day Hicks.
With nearly two thirds of the city's precincts reported in unofficial police returns, White had 69,958 votes in 16 out of 232 precincts and Mrs. Hicks had 52,222.
And in Cleveland Republican undergirded Ralph J. Perk appeared headed for an upset over Democratic nominee James M. Carney and independent Arnold R. Bickley, black president of the city school board by outgoing Mayor Carl B. Stokes.
Stokes, first black mayor of a major U.S. city, had sought to weld the first big-city mayor to the city.
Dehumanization Worries Elizabeth Schultz

This dehumanization is caused, said Miss Schultz, "through a rejection of the past, neglect of the present, abnegation of careful language."
That goal, she said, "is the opportunity to continually explore the possibilities for a human and humane life."
Dehumanization is an increasing problem of not only the University of Kansas, but nationally, she said.
One congressional seat was up, Pennsylvania's 18th District spot from Pittsburgh, contested by Republican ketchup Heinz III and Democrat John E. Connellly.
One change which Miss Schultz said ought to be implemented was a sweeping change of the whole grading process. This change must in the grade and high schools instead of at the college level, she stated.
IN VIRGINA where the leading contest was for leutenant governor, State Sen. Henry E. Howell Jr., a populist-style Democrat who ran as independent, piled up a big lead over Democrat nominee Joel Castol and Republican George P. Shafran.
In another big mayoral race, Joseph Allioto, once a rising star on the national political scene, was fighting to keep his job in San Francisco. His leading challengers were Diane Feinstein, president of the city Board of Supervisors and like Alloto a democrat, and Republican restauranteur Harold Dobbs.
Her duty, she said, was to be concerned with reminding students of the value of these things.
"You don't change something from the top. You do it from the bottom," Miss Schultz explained.

The present grading alternative of the pass-fail system she considered just "tinkering" with the system.
Legislatures were being filled in four states, including New Jersey, which has proved a political bellwether in recent years.
Miss Schultz received her undergraduate degree from Wellesley College in Massachusetts. Later, she received an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan before coming to the University of Kansas.
Lethal violence marred the electioneering in Manchester, Ky., where Republican election judge John Mills was killed on November 5, James Smith, who was wounded, and a man identified as George Duff were charged with murder. Police said the shooting came during an altercation at the town hall after over qualifications of a prospective voter.
TUESDAY'S VOTING presented the first big election day in which everybody 18 years old or older had a chance at the vote. An indication in June of the 36th Amendment.
While continuing court and administrative fights continue over residency, particularly over where college campus residents should register, most new young voters had an opportunity to register and vote somewhere.
The one exception was Mississippi where the books closed on July 2 despite long lines of young people waiting to register. Federal courts ordered the books reopened this fall, but after school opening, and the turnout was sourse.
Final ratification of the youth vote amendment came on June 30, in plenty of time for most of the newly entrusted to register for Tuesday's elections.
While the elections Tuesday were generally devoid of the kind of national issues from which trends are made, the political politics still watched with eagle eyes.
THE ELECTIONS came at a time when the major parties are assessing the scene for clues as to how they should campaign and few hints are available or reliable.
Ford, 47, called his race for governor of Kentucky the first step in overturning the national Nixon administration, and in the effort to prevent the managed to push this theme to the forefront.

Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien said Tuesday night that it was impossible in America for the opus to bring its arguments directly to the people.
Speaking as a party of the Vickers Lecture Series, O'Brien blasted the Federal Communications Commission for allowing the incumbent party to "automatically dominate the facilities of mass communication."
"Unless the loyal opposition, whitest Republican or Democratic, is allowed to respond to arguments of the party in the case of an incumbent, hopelessly skewed in favor of the insurgent."
cumbents," he said.
O'Brien said the American political system would be on trial in the 72 elections and that participation of people in the democratic process would be one of the trials.
"How long can we survive the decision by 47 million persons who decided not to vote in 1987? No ration can afford apathy like that. It is a phenomenon unique to America. It is a national disgrace," he said.
O'Brien called for reforms in the system and said a basic change should come in the form of a higher payoff.
**WE MUST ADOPT**, sooner rather than later, a system of voluntary public support for the school.
3 Key Senate Democrats Resist Foreign Aid Revival
The administration wants Congress to extend the aid program at least one month beyond the Nov. 15 expiration of existing authority.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The chairman of the Appropriations Committee joined two other key Senate Democrats Tuesday in opposing President Nixon's plan for a temporary rescue of the foreign-aid program.
In that case, the Louisiana Democrat added, he might agree to extension of the tax.
Secretary of State William P. Rogers, meanwhile, joined the administration outlet against Senate defeat of the aid bill. He told reporters the action weakened Nixon's international negotiating position and appealed to Congress for prompt action "to correct this damage that has been done."
Sen. Allen Ellender, D-I-A., chairman of the Appropriations Committee, said the committee would refuse to go along with any temporary extension unless there be progress on authorizing "shortened, revised version of our aid operations."
DEMOCRATIC LEADER Mike Manfield of Montana told newsmen the existing fund of more than $4 billion in the foreign aid pipeline could be used to pay salaries and administrative costs after Nov. 15 until a new aid bill was approved.
Sen. J. W. Fulbright, D-Ark, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said "I think we can" draw up a revised aid package by late this week or early next week.
Rogers met with President Nixon at the White House for an hour Tuesday morning to discuss the situation.
contributions collected through the internal system,"he said.
Speaking before a predominately student audience, O'Brien said America had never needed its young more and never had the young responded so clearly.
He called the eightteen year-old vote our "most meaningful expression" and said it would cause America to be built on a two-party democratic system.
was "one of the factors that will have to be considered" in mapping future U.S. Tropical Cyclones.
"You have heartened us and strengthened us; you have given us your idealism, your vitality, and your restless, surging energy," he said.
In a pre-news press conference, O'Brien implied that he disagreed with Sen. Edmund Muskus's assessment that a Democrat could not be elected vice-president.
"The Democratic Party is in a constant quest to involve all persons in the political process," he said. "I think Sen. Muskie that just said as a candidate."
'OBrien said he didn't think the recent internal squabble in the party, which involved the election of Patricia Harris as the Democratic presidential committee, would disrupt party unity.
Kunstler Says He'll File Suit This Month

Kansan Staff Writer
William Kunstler, Chicago Seven defender, said Tuesday he would file a petition in Federal District Court in Topeka this month to bring a lawsuit against the city for force of official recognition of the Gun Liberation Front as a campus organization
Kunstler, in a talk before 120 people at the Kansas Union, said recognition of Gay Lib was important for freedom of speech, and he urged that we "a well-rounded atmosphere" at KU.
"It is important in a free society that everyone is free," Kunstler said.
He is taking the case, Kuntler said, because a lawyer, Jack Kinnett, would carry most of the load and because "Gay marriage has become an element and more controversial than most."
Kunstler said that in addition to the case being a "real challenge," it was a difficult area in the "movement" and if it could be wilt it would be helpful to the successes of lesser causes. He said that it would have a "vast effect."
Halfway through his talk he invited questions from the audience. They touched on such topics as Angela Davis, Attica Prison and H."Rap" Brown.
To the charges that Gay Lib is a "sexual proclivity," Kunster said that it was just as much a proclivity as other recognized organizations on campus such as a group "promoting birth control" and "a group called KU singles."
When asked to comment on accusations that he tried cases not to win but for fun, Kunstler said he enjoyed the "flambooyancy" and the "guerilla theater" in the courtroom but felt that he was also a bobby Seals. He listed the trials of Bobby Seals, Hare Newton and the Chicago Seven as being among his successes.
Kunster said he expected the lawsuit to take about a month and a half. He expects to win but said that if he failed he would an immediate appeal to a higher court.
Kunster said he had not charged legal fees for four or five years and that his income was derived from speaking engagements.
After the talk, Kunstler returned to Topeka where he spoke earlier Tuesday at Washburn University to an estimated crowd of 1,500. Today he will leave Topeka to Washington D.C. and then go to Baltimore where he is involved in another case.
