City Planner Eyes Future
By GARY PETERSON
Kenan Staff Writer
A city planner must be a dreamer and a do-gooder. Ron Short, Lawrence city planner, is both of these.
It's the job of the planner to look out for the general welfare of the citizens. In so doing, he is tasked with finding things from predicting the needs of the city years in advance, and understanding the city's role in the future, to acting as sociologist, economist and publicist.
Like other growing metropolitan areas, Lawrence and San Francisco have physical rehabilitation and complete renovation in some areas of the city is something that must be made very careful concentration. Short said.
"We have the capability and potential of attracting people to our central location, easy accessibility, good roads and railways and a large labor force. Our city has a good environment with advantageous topography and the accessibility to other cultural centers."
For these reasons, Lawrence anticipates steady growth, he said.
Lawrence is a unique town, situated between important urban centers - Tupqua and Bonita. In this position, Lawrence will become more important in the future as an urban center and a cultural center, and it will probably have a significant impact on the Clinton reservoir project.
He sees the day in the year 2000 when the population of Lawrence is about half as many people. He says if the city doesn't start planning for this now we will be out of business.
--development and re-development and transportation systems.
However some planning has begun. Currently the city is doing studies on neighborhood
Planned living area studies are being made to guardate that they have access about apartment being right next to them in a vacant area, but that a buffer zone is protected their privacy." Short said.
"This has to be planned out to insure a proper ratio of apartments to residential homes and a commercial to other offices." Short
"It's almost a lesser walk from where we propose to have the development of major student centers or private students in our buildings, parking lots such as O Zone. That's a long walk," he said.
He envisions the time when the automobile will play a lesser role in transportation and students. The transportation study being done now indicates this Since there will be a demand for automobiles, the greatest users of automobiles in Lawrence, the traffic must be provided for.
Since there will be new industry coming to Lawrence in the near and far future, Short plans to have pedestrian paths from the residential parks to the industrial parks to encourage walking and cycling. The walkways would not necessarily be adjacent to streets.
Short would like to have University housing on "The Hill" so that there is less need to build student housing complexes so far in town. This would help relieve the flow and parking problems.
In the area of city beautification Short has several ideas. He is the author of the book aspects and safety hazards related to the 25rd street connection.
"Between Iowa to Louisiana streets there are over 200
Honor Students Win Scholarship Awards
Leonard Lewis Wall, Prairie Village senior, has been recommended for the 1970-71 Paul B. Lawson Award. During his three years at the University of Kansas he has accumulated a record of 231. A record with a double major in anthropology and history.
The number of students receiving this award is almost double that of any preceding year.
Fox has also recommended 17 sophomores for the 1971-72 Vet B. Lear Award, given to students who have achieved a straight A record for two semi semesters of KU during their freshman year.
Wall was recommended over several students whose academic records were deemed to his. The recommendation was Eugene Fox, associate dean of honor honors program. The award will be in the form of $100 credit at the university.
The students are: from North College, George T. Budd, David T. Courtwright and Kathy L. Theodore E. Burk, Christina Kaneen and James M. Swafford; from Nunemaker, Cynthia A. Glades, Robert E. Marcotte and John B. Danny F. Watson, Nancy L. Morrow and James N. Sayer; from Pearson, Jananne Heewett, William T. Laaser, Gary L. Leslie J, Meier and James
"It is perhaps not surprising in a freshman class where more than 200 of its members scored

on national exams in the upper one-tenth of one per cent that 17 of these would make all A's,' Fox said.
Only students having at least 30 hours of A work were recommended.
The awards were $10 gift certificates from the Kansas Union Bookstore.
He said he is proposing that a frontage road be constructed with barriers on the main road there. There would be openings in the barriers for access onto 23rd Street. On top of it, a retaining wall would foliage be planted, he said.

There are two problems implem-
tened by the lack of staff in his staff. Not enough staff is the first problem and inadequate revenue to work with is the second.
Because of a shortage of staff members, a burden is placed upon those who are employed to do a job of planning that must be done correctly but invariably fails. The attention it should, Short said.
"We just have a completely inadequate planning staff," he said. "The 5 per cent tax lid is

TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION
As Taught by MAHARISHI MAHESH YOGI
During the practice of transcendental meditation the mind experiences subtler states of the thinking process. The body spontaneously reflects this increasingly refined mental activity. Scientific investigation of this phenomenon has found that a unique physical state develops which involves a combination of physiological changes (Science, March 27, 1970, pp. 1751-54). The combined physical effects of transcendental meditation are unique in that they indicate a fourth state of consciousness which is as natural to the individual as the other three states—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Those practicing this technique report that this state of "restful alertness" is profoundly refreshing physically as well as mentally. This deep relaxation provides a basis for increasing energy and for liberating untapped mental potential for use in daily activity. The possibility of unfolding new intellectual resources in every man is of special practical significance for the university community.
