has every right to decide whether he wants to answer. He said
"WE EVE GOT AN elected commissioner on the
board and we'll ask them anything we goddamn
well."
But Francisco said that disclosing matters discussed in closed session had legal implications, and that commissioners should speak to them as a whole when they revealed such matters.
A commissioner was not on the program to determine that he or she thought as an individual, she said.
Newton disagreed.
"Most of the time commissioners make it clear which hat they're wearing," he said. "Marci Francisco gives her own opinion when she's on there."
Francisco emphasized that she was not trying to change commission policy about what companies should do.
She only wanted to find out what the purpose of the radio orrogram was, she said.
HER UNDERSTANDING of the program was given in a presentation about what happened at the academy at the meeting.
"I don't expect him to talk about what was not on the agenda." she said.
Brian said Francisco restricted public comment at Tuesday's meeting to prevent people from leaving the room.
"Her supporters and Gleason's are the very same people," he said.
"Somebody could have said, 'Let's pass a resolution concerning Tom and his letter,' she said. "If you're going to talk about it, talk about it," she said that the commission as a whole took action.
Francisco said she restricted public comment to matters on which the commission as a whole was responsible.
"I ALWAYS WANT the discussion to relate to what the commission as a whole can do. We have a place for public comments. We didn't even have that before I was mayor."
This is not the first time that commissioners have wanted to make changes in KLWN's leadership.
City manager Buford Watson used to appear nearly every week,be said.
KU car pool helps students find rides
"Woke up one Wednesday morning and no Buford," Newton said. "We asked what happened and they said, "We want to lower his profile."
Binns said Wednesday that he and other commissioners in 1977 removed Watson from the radio program because they thought Watson's role had become too political.
The radio program is called "Guest Spotlight" and features a different commissioner every Wednesday morning on a rotating basis, Newton said.

Car pooling, a system that helps people save gas, swept the nation three years ago, and a car pool program begun then at the University of Kansas remains popular.
Lorna Zimmer, director of the Student Assistance Center, said recently that in the fall of 1978, many students contacted the center to request that a car pool system be started.
"BY THE SPRING of 1979, we at the assistance center, with the help of the SUA, created the Car Pool Exchange program." Zimmer said. "We decided that it would be in the best interest of students to begin with a program of this type."
Zimmer said that the Kansas Union donated material for a rider's board and allowed space in the front of the vehicle.
"The Car Pool Exchange board is split into zones showing the eastern half of Kansas," she said. "There are cards that have information for the students to fill out."
The board shows information such as what days a student wants to go to school, what time he wants to leave and whether the person has a phone that would like to share a ride with someone who does.
Zimmer said that since the program began in 1980, membership has remained constant between 50 and 75 percent.
Zimmer said that occasionally she would send out questionnaires asking students their opinions on the program.
SHE SAID that most of the respondents said they were pleased with the program.
But Oleva Galin, Olahe sophomore, said the program hadn't worked for her this semester.
semester, but so far this semester, I haven't given any response from students," she said.
"I think the problem that I face, that not many others face, is that in this area, the parking is considered relatively unsafe. Many people are also hesitant of whom they contact, because they're wary of getting someone who is unreliable or just plain crazy."
ROBERT LAWSON. Topeka graduate student, has success in this semester with the car pool exchange.
"I have difficulties with it because I have a special situation, not having to leave home until I p.m. each day. It still works for me on one day a week." Lawson said.
"I feel if my situation were more normal, it would work up. Last semester, it worked out a lot."
program. I just wish my schedule wasn't sci tight."
James Bloomar, Topea freshman, said that he hasn't had any contact him to start a car pool. However, he has been commuting with a couple of his friends.
"I haven't gotten any use from it yet, but it's a super idea, and I know of people who've had it done."
WHEN THE program does work, Zimmer
said, benefits can include more than a ride to
cafe.
"If your schedule coordinates with someone else, then there is no reason why it should not."
"An interesting sidelight to this program has been the fact that many people have commented on the friendships they've made with the program," she said.
"Another thing that I believe a program like this does is relieve tension in the student can be fun."

"Many of these people live miles from Lawrence, and they can relate with their driving partner about their problems and feel better when they get home. Many of these commuters have families, and it can be especially helpful if the riders are their friends."
She said that the riders set their rates, and that if any problems occurred, riders were enclosed.
