City's Chance at All-America Satisfying, Says Watson
Lawrence's selection last week
23rd, 2018, and 2019,
All American Cities has
great satisfaction to many people who asure working to create a
future of their own.
The award, said City Manager Buford Watson in an interview Wednesday, honors those cities that involve private citizens helping to find answers to communication problems. The community citizenization is more stressed than the actual finding of solutions.
"It shows that a city recognizes its problems, and its citizens want to do something about them," he said.
Lawrence's attempt to win All-Time No. 1 from minnesota diverse national publicity which the city had received within the last two years.
"Those were serious and trying
times.” Watson said in referring to the events of the spring and summer of 1970. “The racial incidents, the burning of the Union, the fire-bombings—they were one kind of publicity no city wants.”
Watson received hundreds of letters from people across the nation during that time, and most of them were unkind. Mr. community's problems, he said.
Watson said that an industry that had planned to locate in Lawrence was now uncertain if it would be able to manage the county, becoming unstable.
The city manager also said that he was frequently teased about Lawrence's national publicity and meetings across the country.
Two incidents last fall created what Watson termed unfair publicity. These were the election of Phil Hill as justice of the
Senate...
"These incidents show how headline writers and the press can become a little overzealous."
peace, and a CBS television report on Lawrence-based marijuana harvesters.
Watson said that the Lawrence community was no different than the Kansas City area, this size except that it was located so close to the Kansas City area.
Both incidents, he said, failed to present the positive side of the Lawrence community.

voters. Another concern was the
possibility that politicians would
use the money to enlist student
members in a particular political
campaign.
The senate by-laws were amended to allow the required first reading of a bill to come in a StudEx meeting. This would speed up the legislative process that a bill must go through.
"I'm sure that we are somewhat influenced by this," he said.
Lawrence's location near the major route to the east and west coasts was also unique, Watson said.
"So many different kinds of people pass through and decide to stop off," he said.
The selection of Lawrence as a final candidate for the All-America award indicated just how much the community were, Watson said.
Landfill Being Monitored For Pollutants Spread
"More than 500 individuals involved with workshops works with students on social relations, university relations, employment, and other topics," she said. "The community relations program was an especially important tool."
Paul L. Hilman, head of the Environmental Geology department of the Kansas Geological Survey, said Wednesday that there was no definitive evidence to show that the Lawrence lighthouse was contributing to water pollution in the area.
"The program is helping the police to recognize the problems of the community and helping the community," he said.
But Hilman warned that it was too soon to be sure that no ill-timed disposal area near the Kaw River north of Lawrence. He indicated that an danger resulting from a landfill would be detected soon enough for the safety of all residents of the surrounding area.
The monitoring of the spread of pollutants from the site is done by analysis of samples taken from 15 fields in the landfill, according to Hilman.
To aid in this analysis, dye was planted with the first load of water and then sprayed by Hipman said, could be detected if present in approximately one part per billion. Analysis for the presence of the dye takes only 24 hours. Dyes that are quickly detectable substance would allow abundant warming time, since pollutants travel through the earth relatively slowly.
Conductivity tests have also
been used on samples of ground water from the side of the landfill to which underground water systems have located. Tests have located an area where the conductivity of the ground water was considerably higher than that of the air and not indicate the spread of pollutants, he said, but tests are under way to find out the nature of the excess material in the soil.
KU graduate students are working on the study for their theses. Dennis A. Degner, Hillsboro. Wise, is concentrating primarily on the chemistry involved in the disposal of solid waste and microbeats. Armitreth Ablenie is concentrating on the microbiology of landfills.
Hilman stressed that the present location, which drew much local opposition, was only a temporary, and would be closed by 1975.
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) —The executive council of the United Church of Christ called on the congregation to observe Sunday, Oct. 24, as "a time of mourning and remembrance for the 43 persons who died as a result of the 1958 fire in a correctional facility Sept. 13."

He said, "We don't like to do that, but, on the other hand, they have not been entirely honest with us."

The directors in these offices do not feel inconvenienced by not having the information in a case they require them to have more information then the purely academic or financial, as in the case of the financial aid office and have no reason to use such a file.
Kelly said that he thought it was easier for him not to have information on every phase of a student's life. If something would come to his office that could not be handled with the information, he might just go to the office to which it belonged and not worry about it.
MILLER, HE concedes, has succeeded in making him more cautious, "but he is not stopping me."

"He needs the big guys, not us, and he wants to take the drug, but no problem as he says, then he is going to have to be patient and go for the big guys."
Drugs . . .
A senior, who says he smokes marijuana occasionally, thinks Miller is too impatient.
He says the Miller's problem is that he wants to send two banks down here with $2 in their pockets to catch a guy who sells an ounce of cocaine.
One young lady thinks Miller's drug raids will never be effective, because the big pushers "aren't here anymore." They are in Kansas City and Wichita, but they are principally operating out of cities, such as Kansas City and Wichita "Many times the stuff comes directly from the coast," she says, "but it is based in Lawrence anymore."
A lot of the drugs she has bought, a young female user of the drugs, raiding their way through school by selling it. And that is another reason it is not so easy now for her to obtain these drugs of these people have graduated

and have left town,and they have not been replaced.
"They have moved on," she says. "Lawrence simply does not interest them anymore."
Another suggestion is that few people here have a supply of all types of drugs, since almost all are overdose-proven heavier than marijuana depends for his supply on the pushers in Kansas City or another cities.
It is also apparently more difficult to buy hallucinogens. "A lot of the local supplies have gone," one young lady says, "and most people are now only engaged in an investigatory use of them."
Miller Makes Inquest Move
All the users who volunteered information agreed the drug traffic in Lawrence, that is the soft drug traffic, remains the hard drug traffic. It suggests Miller and Elwell are aiming in the wrong direction, grants them one concession: "Everybody around here is still saying they shouldn't say saying it, they are definitely more cautious in what they do."

The order came in the form of a writ of peremptory mandamus.
