A University of Kansas student has become the first student to be named to the Lawrence Human Relations Commission.
Tom Beaver. Lawrence
grant me the position
to the post Tuesday at a
city commission. He will
replace Henry Johnson, whose
father was mayor of the city.
Beaver, who will resign from the city park advisory board to take the new position, is a Creek Indian.
Besides his work on the park advisory board, he is serving his second year on the Committee on Indian Affairs.
Beaver was graduated from Lawrence High School and the KU School of Journalism. He is an assistant to William Balfour, vice chairman of student affairs. He received a M.A. from WDAF-Y in Kansas City.
"I WOULD just like to get more understanding of different grenches, and I'd be glad to see the day next. "I'd like to see the board be an instrument of unrestraint."
"Indians in Lawrence are discriminated against somewhat," he said, "but not as much other minority groups."
"Drunken Indians, drunken whites, drunken blacks; they all have their image."
Beaver said that he was especially interested in looking for students who especially jobs in the downtown area, for members of minority areas.
Beaver said he did not think that being a student would be a handicap to his job.
"I don't see how it would at all," he said, "unless someone on the commission is really uptight about me being a student."
THERE WAS some initial apportionment because the city commission failed to inform the Human Relations Commission of the loss.
Claude Norels, chairman of the Human Relations Commission, said Wednesday that he knew nothing about the appointment.

He said, however, that he was aware there would be two vacancies in the commission in
Mayor John Emick and City Manager Buferd Watson were out of town and unavailable for comment.
Beaver will begin his three year term October 1.

Stressing the importance of publicizing the mental health programs in Kansas to the community, Dr. Gerrish Bardahl, superintendent of the Topeka State Hospital, addressed the annual meeting of the Douglas County Mental Health Department on Wednesday night at the Holiday Inn.
Burdik said Kansas was very durkish to have what he termed fine facilities at the Topocha State Lawrence and Douglas County.
Burdizk said, however, that he really should not be talking to groups which already understand the importance of spending should spend his time trying to reach those who are less familiar with the mental health program in the state. He urged those who were still unfamiliar to program at every opportunity.
Mental Health Awareness Urged
Burdalk said the Topeka hospice is able to care for $35 per person, and any patient is far less many other state hospitals. He said one state spends only $6.25 per person.
**HURDZIK GAVE** credit for the funding of the hospital to groups affected by mental health conditions. **Mental Health Association** and **formed 'enlightened insurers'**
The Topeka State Hospital has two locations, different service positions. Burdick said. The largest single group of employees are the aides.
THE HOSPITAL currently has 40 patients and Burdick comments the ratio of employees to patients, inserts the good in hospital health care. He
Burdzik, who has been superintendent of the hospital since February, 1971, said that the philosophy of the Topeka State Hospital was to "constantly improve the quality of care." He said care of patients is the primary goal of the hospital.
"It it shows a great deal about the people to give this kind of support," Burdik said.
ANOTHER FUNCTION of the burdikized deemed important, was the education program. He said that this program had to be hospital with a psychiatric residency program. This type of training, Burdik said, was very valuable.
the number of employees was an example of the peoples' willingness to help.
Burdizk said the research conducted by the hospital was also important, although the program is small compared to that conducted by the University of Kansas. He said the research was based on a study with methods and procedures used in mental health care.
BURDIZK CONTRASTED mental health care of 50 to 80 years ago with care today, saying the institution was "the most of a mental institution was to "keep the patients quiet." He said care consisted mostly of home visits and adequate meals. Patients used to remain in hospitals for years at a time and communities sedumed to see a person released from care.
Burdick stressed the importance of constant review of a procedure and continuing a procedure simply because it had been done that
Patients now, Burdrik said, are different in that they come to the treatment and want to know what treatment and wanting to know when they will be able to return to school. "We say communities no longer expect patients to remain in the hospital," Burdrik said.
BURDZIK SAID emphasis now is on active treatment on a more personal basis. He noted that the Topeka State Hospital's greater number of employees than in the rest is a great help in this aspect.
"People are best helped by people," Burdikz commented, pointing out the difficulty in personal help in years past when as many as 1800 patients were asked by as few as 230 employees.
Burdik cited a specific example of the hospital's success in its alcoholic treatment program. The Topeka State University led an effort to treat all alcoholic patients successfully while the national average of successful treatments is only 6 per cent.
Burdizk said that the average stay of any patient in the hospital used to be 12 years. It is now 4 months.
COMMENTING ON THE future of mental health care, Burdizk referred to an upcoming report by Ralph Nader which Burdizk said would be very important of all phases of mental care.
"A few points are very valid," but Burch said, but the objected to him being a "political figure of Nader's surveys were done in the East. Burdzik said the situation in other parts of the country was quite different from the situation
"What may seem elementary to some is not to others," she said.

Bearing down on criticism of McGovens's proposed defense spending cuts, Agnew said, "America is not going to yield to tempting political blandishisms and will do whatever is responsible, even though the idea certainly has superficial appeal to a war-weary nation."

Before flying to Columbus, the vice president told a Rotary Club luncheon in St. Louis that voters believed the speech "and his goal of lasting peace."
Agnew said McGovin's plan for a $30 billion cut in defense spending is "in fact frightening." He also said the adequate response but nuclear war if U.S. interest and U.S.实力 anywhere are threatened."
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Vice President Spiro T. Agnew Wednesday described Sen. Kirkup's foreign policy proposals as "basically isolationist." He said the positions of the Democratic presidential nominee "are so far away from us that they are almost out of sight."
"We cannot negotiate from a position we came from our responsibility to our people to keep our nation safe and about 800 people at the lunchroom."
Agnew told the Ohio Republican Convention Wednesday night that the GOP this year had "the good fortune to an opponent who has silenced millions in his own party."
"We have not had in recent years a national election in which party affiliations have played as little part," Agnew said. He said he will produce a majority built around principle rather than party.
He said Republicans had a chance to create the kind of new majority President Nixon spoke of in accepting renomination.

"BELIEVE IT or not, my generation has contributed one thing." Hird said. "That is the pill used for contraception. This, more than any other single item, enabled me to fear of pregnancy."
"The exposing of sexual knowledge to the younger people is essential for raising the sexual responsiveness. The more we know and the better we understand, the better we may satisfy sexual desires." Gendel

Approval by 38 states is needed for ratification of the amendment that bans sex discrimination.

Hird said one of the most significant recent happenings in the medical profession was the introduction of therapeutic abortion.
Skirting the previous barrier of having a written statement before the abortion could be performed, patients now are able to have the abortion.
"LIKE OTHER PHYSICIANS,
I also have learned about sexual responses mainly from my patients," Hird said. "You would be amazed at what the younger physicians are doing. This is why we need so desperately to push sex education for the young. Physicians alone
