Dean's home goes to Orange Bowl
By MARLA BABCOCK Kansan Staff Writer
While KU's students were cramming onto Miami-bound planes and organizing last-minute car pools, Miss Emily Taylor, dean of women, was enjoying a leisurely Florida vacation in her "motor home."
The motor home, which accommodates four, is completely self-contained with the motor and driving mechanism in a front compartment. Miss Taylor emphasized the vehicle is a motor home, not a trailer.
After meeting him in Memphis, Miss Taylor traveled to Florida via Atlanta, where they visited friends.
Miss Taylor decided to travel to Miami in the motor home because her nephew, an eighth grader in Memphis, Tenn., wanted to see the Orange Bowl game.
In Miami, Miss Taylor parked the motor home at the home of William Butler, a KU alumnus and vice president of Miami University.
Miss Taylor said Miami crowds presented few problems. Because Butler is an official of Miami University, he had a reserved parking place near one of the gates at the stadium.
While she didn't have a 50-yard-line seat, Miss Taylor said her seats at both the game and the parade offered good vantage points.
Miss Taylor was surprised to meet so many Lawrence residents on the trip. "I met some people who live in the same block as I do on Avalon," she said.
The only mechanical difficulty of the trip was a split tire. Dean Taylor said that was really "no great problem."
KU's Dean of Women purchased the motor home last July with one of her assistants, Mrs. Frank Shavlik, and her husband.
Several members of Miss Taylor's staff have used the motor home since then. "We've put almost 16,000 miles on it since July," Miss Taylor said.

AAUP to create Topeka liaison
Steps are being taken to improve communication between KU employe groups and state officials, Roy D. Laird, president of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), said last night.
AAUP members "are in the process" of exploring means of creating a permanent liaison with Toneka officials. Laird said.
Resolutions passed by the KU AAUP last month criticized the movement of payday from the first of each month to the fifth, and recommended that better communication with state officials be established.
The KU AAUP Executive Board met with state officials December 20 but was unable to secure a reversal of the payroll change.
KU junior elected township official

January is the month for newly elected officials to take office, and among them is a KU junior who will become justice of the peace for Silverlake Township.
Leslie D. Watson was unanimously elected to the office in the township located 11 miles west of Topeka. In fact, he might have cast the ballot to elect himself.
He then went home, he said,
and asked his parents to write
his name in on the ballot.
Watson said he wasn't sure
whether they voted for him, but
he was elected and duly notified
by the commissioner of
elections. As few as one or as
many as three votes elected
Watson.
"When I went to vote, I saw a blank space by the office of the justice of the peace, so I wrote my name in," Watson said.
Watson shouldn't be overworked in his new job since the power of the office was severely limited by a 1967 Kansas statute. The statute gave the county courts most of the
judicial power traditionally held by the justice of the peace. The office itself, though having little power, can't be abolished without a constitutional amendment, Watson said.
"Justices of the peace can still perform marriages, administer some oaths, and deal with civil matters up to $1," Watson said. "He is paid for the ceremonies he performs." he added.
Watson doesn't think he will run for re-election when his two year term of office is ended.
