Mayor Seeks Patience, Interest
The "town and gown" relationship between Lawrence and KU is a psychological myth, said Ted Kennedy, newly elected mayor of Lawrence.
"Although your (faculty) intellect frustrates those of us at the foot of the hill, the solution is for you to continue to be nice, kind and patient with us," Mayor Kennedy continued.
HE WAS ADDRESSING members of the faculty forum yesterday on the topic, "The Mayor Speaks His Mind."
He explained that the University has to be concerned with the community and vice-versa.
"KU faculty members should campaign for an office in city elections," he emphasized. "That is, run for office as a person interested in the community, not necessarily as an expert from the University."
"IF YOU LOSE an election once, then try again, and again," he urged. (J. O. Maloney, professor of chemical engineering was an unsuccessful candidate for the school board in the last election.)
The mayor went on to say that the problem of human relations will
Mexican Teachers On Campus Today
Twelve top-level Mexican educators will arrive on campus today to study KU's university extension program.
Each of the representatives is a director or subdirector of a particular area of education in Mexico. They are on a six-week tour of the United States sponsored by the Inter-American Education Foundation and the Association Pro Entendimiento Internacional.
The group will observe the bureaus of University Extension on campus and visit the School of Education. Yesterday they visited the extension center in Kansas City and the Truman Library.
Bridges Joins KC Pro Team
The Kansas City Steers of the new American Basketball League today signed Bill Bridges, flashy rebounder and high scorer of the Jayhawk- ers.
The 6-5 forward put his name to a contract in Kansas City minutes after arriving from Denver where he played with the College All-Stars last night against the Harlem Globetrotters, United Press International said.
Bridges, a 22-year-old native of Hobbs, N. M., will be "one of the highest paid college seniors going into professional basketball this year." Steers executive vice president C. W. (Bud) Hoeber, said.
But he wouldn't disclose how much Bridges was to get.
Bridges, named to the All-Big Eight Conference team by United Press International and given honorable mention on the UPI All-America squad, is the only player in Kansas history to have scored more than 1,000 points and made more than 1,000 rebounds in his playing career.
--soon be considered by the city commission. This is not necessarily race relations, but "community relations in general."
"There is always a mob ready to burn a Priestly or an Einstein," he commented. "But I have an idea nothing really changes, and people are no worse than they used to be, maybe even better."
John Barlow, Kansas City graduate student in zoology, was awarded the first prize in the 1961 Taylor Book Collection contest. His collection on ornithology was described by the judges as "ambitious, representative and well balanced within announced limits, containing a large number of specialized and rare items of high quality."
Barlow Wins Taylor Prize
"AS TIME ROLLS by, the cast changes and incidents are different but the problems are the same."
Judges for the competition were Harold Orel, associate professor of English, Raymond O'Connor, associate professor of history and Edward Howard, Lawrence city librarian. The contest was conducted by Watson Library and Mrs. Elizabeth M. Taylor of Kansas City, Mo.
Second place winner was Albert Palmerlee, Lawrence senior, with a collection on Latin American archaeology. Robert L. Cross, Lawrence graduate student in English, won the third award for his collection on the American expatriates in Paris.

The speaker said he wanted to see parts of the community improved and industrial growth continued with the full support of the community.
"Older residential areas could be improved," Mr. Kennedy said. "It is in effect a type of urban renewal, but I hate to use that word for some people associate it with socialism."
IN ANSWER TO a question concerning the election defeat of former mayor John T. Weatherwax, Mr. Kennedy replied:
"John is a fine man, and one of the brainiest people I know."
He said Mr. Weatherwax's association with a local real estate firm caused him to lose, not his support of the city human relations committee.
Peace Corps Blanks Here
Peace Corps volunteer questionnaires have been issued and are now available in the KU Post Office.
The questionnaire asks for information on military service, knowledge of foreign languages, past employment, education, activities and medical history.
The instructions on the questionnaire say it does not "constitute an obligation on the part of either a volunteer or the Peace Corps."
The questionnaire will be used to determine the number of qualified people available for Peace Corps work. They will be used with other tests and interviews to make tentative selections of Peace Corps volunteers for overseas assignments.
