Lawrence seeks input from KU
by Susan Newburger
Kansan staff writer
Lawrence city officials like KU students. And they want that feeling to be mutual.
City officials urge students to take part in city government
"We want students to like our community," said Shirley Martin-Smith, city commissioner. "The students keep us thinking young."
City officials know that students form a key part of the population.
"The students are important to our economic base," said Martin-Smith.
But officials think that students should play a more important role in the class.
"We make decisions all the time that affect students," said Martin-Smith.
Bob Walters, city commissioner,
agreed. He said that the commissioners
had asked for input from Student
Senate concerning traffic and parking.
KU professors sometimes use city government for class projects. For example, journalism students visit commission meetings to exercise their reporting skills. Tom Mullinazzi, associate dean of engineering, had his students complete a traffic project that mirrored a study being completed by the city.
"Attending a meeting is a really good way to teach yourself about city government." Martin-Smith said.
Lawrence has a commission-manager form of government. The five-member City Commission is elected at large. Once a year, the members elect one commissioner to serve as mayor. The commission appoints a city manager, who is responsible for daily administration of the city.
The commissioners are Martin Smith, Walters, Mike Rundle, Dave Penny and Bob Schumm. Schumm serves as mayor. Buford Watson is the city manager.
Students can express opinions during the public comment part of the meeting, or they can contact the teachers with specific problems or ideas.
The commission meets at 6:35
Hall, Sixth and
Massachusetts streets.
"The commissioners are available to students." Martin-Smith said.
Students also can influence city decisions by joining a neighborhood group.
Sue Comfort, treasurer of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said students were invaluable.
Comfort cited the efforts of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity members who helped in neighborhood projects, such as cleaning up city parks.
Another way students can participate in city government is by registering to vote.
