Owens works for minority groups
Kansan Staff Writer
By JOE NAAS
As a new member of the Lawrence Human Relations Commission, basketball coach Ted Owens has entered the struggle for minority group acceptance.
Owens was appointed to a three-year term two weeks ago.
Rev. Norman Steffens, chairman of the Commission, said its nine members help persons from minority groups
He explained that Owens had written a letter to the city commissioners last year, advocating the passage of a fair housing ordinance. Owens indicated that he was concerned about housing for black athletes.
"We know Ted Owens is concerned about racial harmony," Mr. Steffens said.
Mr. Steffens said this letter was the primary reason for Owens' appointment to the board.
"The Commission also wanted Ted because we had no other members from the academic community." he said.
Owens said he was surprised to hear of the appointment.
"At first I didn't want to accept the appointment, because I wasn't sure if I could make a contribution.
"But they want me to try, so I'll try," he said.
Owens said there is a need for a more common understanding between people from different social, economic and racial backgrounds.
"My hope is that each of us can make a small contribution to bring about this common understanding," he said.
Owens said he has no illusions of bringing about any great changes in the world.
"I just want to do my part to help bring people closer together." he said.
The Commission's monthly meetings will not create any conflict with his coaching duties,
Owens said.
He said he wouldn't have accepted the position if he thought his coaching would be impaired.
"I think a person has certain responsibilities to his job, but as
a citizen he is also responsible for his community," Owens said. Mr. Steffens explained that Owens' appointment was not unusual since many people in athletics have been associated with human relations activities.

It is: Full of new features including bigger outlets for the Astro Ventilation, a 210-hp standard V8, and a lock for the steering column, ignition and transmission lever.
It is: Available with a little device that automatically washes
It is: Still wider and weightier than the rival sportster we're too polite to name.
