Mayor Urges Citizen Involvement Fall Political Seminar Stresses Knowledge, Technique
By ELISE RITTER Kansas Stiff Reporter
Nancy Hambleton, Lawrence mayor,
explained how citizens could work more
effectively to influence city government.
Hambleton spoke Saturday to a workshop
that was part of the Commission on the
Men's Fail Political Seminar in Wesley Hall.
After determining whether a complaint is really a concern of the city, action should be started by sending the city commission a letter. Humbled said.
A case should be carefully researched by the citizens, she said, because the commission doesn't have enough staff, funds or time to research every issue brought before her.
IT IS MORE effective for individuals to group together to put a concern in front of others.
"Make a good case for it and sell it to us,"
Hambleton said.
She said the commission didn't like to be harrassed, but it did try to be receptive.
"You should be patient to a point, 'she said. 'Things take time.'
The City Commission has become more aware of small groups of ex-convicts, who were as much
progress or response to citizen pressure as there is now, she said.
"Lawrence is blessed with a lot of active groups," she said.
Modernizing the airport wouldn't definitely make Lawrence an in-identified host.
New airport equipment would be much more efficient Hambleton said, and would save much time for businessmen and visitors.
She said that, to a certain extent, Lawrence was soliciting industry. Some industries in Lawrence are becoming obsolete, she said, and others are dying out.
Lawrence wants to be in a position to refuse new industry rather than encountering industry refusals to locate here, she said.
CONCERNING the poor condition of evidence in Hambleton Island, the car had been remarked to the car and it was bereft.
Lawrence has an ordinance that allows the city to maintain public sidewalks and crosswalks.
don't maintain the sidewalks on their property, she said.
She said that Lawrence had started a comprehensive sidewalk maintenance plan but that it would take time to implement.
"People don't like surprises," the said. "When you dig into people's pockeetbooks, they laugh."
"We can get a lot more done if we allow for public reaction," she said.
Hambleton said property should be properly owned to ensure the quality of public housing in Lawrence.
SHE COMMENDED the KU Consumer Protection Association for its interest in off-campus housing conditions and for its housing survey project.
A person who doesn't maintain his property affects the neighborhood and the people in it.
needing responsive to the public is sometimes a trying job, she said. The public cares about little personal things, she said, but not about large measures for the city. For example, she said, the largest number of complaints is about dog ordinances.
She said it was extremely important for Lawrence residents to know their commissioners and what they stood for.
"You as citizens have a strong obligation to be informed." Hamilton said.
THE FALL POLITICAL SEMINAR had 10 workshops in which area officials led them.
Wilkin said Kansas might need a law prohibiting sex discrimination in issuing
Ruth Wilkin, Kansas state representative, said the Kansas Constitution was a liberal one for women. She commanded Kansas for abortion rights and then refuses to rescind it in April.
She also said Kansas should pass a law complying with the Supreme Court decision on abortion. She said she forewash differs in getting such a law passed, however.
JIM HALSIG president of Kansas Young Democrats, said that in a nonelection year campaign workers should identify constituencies, register voters, build club membership, get organized and learn campaign techniques.
Deadline Looms as LA&S, CIS Still Lack Funding Commitment
By JILL WILLIS Kansan Staff Reporter
With less than two weeks to make a decision the student Senate and the University of Kansas administration have yet to make a commitment on the funding of the Liberal Arts and Sciences 48 courses required for the Curriculum and Instruction Survey (CUS).
LA&S needs $9,000 to operate next semester, and CIS needs $10,000.
Canceller Archei R. Dykes met last week with Kelit Nichet, vice掌委 of business affairs, to discuss the possibility of a university budget, but no decision was made.
"If these programs are a vital part of education, they should probably be supported inside the University budget," Nitcher said recently.
June Mundy, women's activity directe and voter registration coordinator for the Kansas State Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, said Kansas ranked in the lower 10 per cent of all states in the amount of money given for workmen's compensation.
"All of these things involve choices," I wrote. "A government a Wiregrass would be more important."
MONEY COULD BE found in the budget for the programs, he said, but if LA&S and CIS are funded other budget requests would have to be denied.
Donald Treffinger, associate professor and chairman of the department of educational psychology and research; Dick Reasonam, instructor in physical education and swimming coach; John Bushman, assistant professor of education; James Boblitt, professor of geology; Boblitt, geologist with the Kansas Geological Survey; and Lynn Taylor, dean of the Kansas School of Religion, will speak to various groups during the convention.
The University would probably support LAKS and the senate would support CIS, he said.
Mert Buckley, Wichita senior and student body president, said Dykes would ask the Endowment Association to finance the programs if chances for finding other funding sources were slim. Buckley said, however, that Dykes was reluctant do so.
"I continue to firmly believe that the University should fund both programs," said Buckley. "However, if worse comes to worst, I will suggest to the senate that we find funding for one or part of one of the programs."
"Although the budget has already been approved, this type of change is usually rubber-stamped by the government," he said.
BUCKLEY MENTIONED a number of sources Wednesday night at the senate meeting that might provide funds for the programs. He said one possibility would be a 5 or 10 per cent cutback in the present budget allocations.
Buckley said another possibility would be to supplement the funding for the programs from profits made by the bus system. But option is not popular with some of the teams.
Rick McLaughlin, Dallas, Tex., junior and chairman of the Student Rights, Privileges and Commissiones Committee, must be made by the bus system should stay in the bus fund.
"CIS would be satisfied by this plan, but it

Profs to Attend KNEA Meeting
Eight University of Kansas faculty members will participate Thursday and Friday in the Kansas National Education Association 20,000 teachers are expected to attend.
Herold Regier, associate professor of education, will speak about "Essential Educational Education Evaluation Law." He is director of the KU Education Placement Bureau for 15 years. He is also the principal of Professional Development Commission.
The KU faculty members will deliver two keynote addresses to the convention on
cultural issues.
would be unfair to other organizations that need money," he said.
Evan Olsen, Salina senior and chairman of the Student Executive Committee, said it was the responsibility of the administration to fund both LA&S and CIS.
"I think both of the programs are worthwhile. However, if it came to raising the student activity fee next semester to test CIS, I would not be in favor of it," he said.
"Nothing would I be in favor of taking
my money out. I can only can you can
be careful to fund CBS."
Steve McMurray, Norton sophomore and member of the Transportation Committee,
"If it looks as if there'll be no other source of funds," Buckley said, "the senate will discuss raising the student activity fee at the Nov. 7 meeting."
This will give Buckley time to present the possible request for the raise in student activity fee at the next Board of Regents meeting. Nov. 16.
He estimated the increase to be from $1 to $1.50 for the spring semester.
The contingency fund usually absorbs all emergency expenditures Buckley said. However, the funding of either program would almost deplete the $11,000 contingency fund, leaving little padding for other emergencies.
KU,Venezuela Plan Joint Bio Research
By ALICE COSTELLO
Kaman Staff Reporter
Three proposals for research projects for joint study between the Universidad de Oriente (UDO) in Cumara, Venezuela, and the University of Kansas were sent to the National Science Foundation recently for possible funding, Richard Johnston, professor of systematics and ecology, said last week.
The proposals reflect a new program of cooperation between UDO and KU, Johnston said. The program calls for cooperative research projects in which participation will help build a graduate studies program in biology at UDO.
A similar cooperative program for undergraduate instruction in biology was started at UDO in 1966 and was funded by a Ford Foundation grant.
JOHNSTON SAID the recent agreement, formalized by a document of intent between the two schools, would help establish a masters and research program at UDO. Because of limited state funds, he said, funding for the project will have to come from other sources. He also said project proposals have therefore been sent to the National Science Foundation.

Identical proposals were sent by UDO to the National Foundation for Technical and Scientific Research, a Venezuelan national science funding body, Johnston said.
BOTH THE National Science Foundation and the National Foundation for Technical and Scientific Research will have to agree to the proposals or part of them, before a decision could be made. He said that a reply to the proposals wouldn't be made for several months.
If the funds for the proposals are granted, Johnston said, UDO students and staff can do research that would otherwise be impossible. KU students, in turn, would have an opportunity to interact with people in a tropical area, so they could do research in a tropical area, he said.
Joinnaton said field work for the proposed projects would be done in enough and the time it would take to do so.
Roberta Sharp, state lobbyist for Kansas women for safety, Safety, spoke on behalf of lobbying.
"We have the computers to process the results," said Johnston.

The Indian problem today is one of land rights, said Norm Forer, assistant professor of social welfare and chairman of the Prairie Bain Potatowater Tribe.
Americans inherited this authority, Forer said, and set up the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to continue administering Indian lands.
The Potawatomi tribe, which once owned four states, has lost all but 559 acres, of its land through transfers said Forer. About 70 per cent of the tribe's land is owned outright by other interests, he said, and the remainder is leased to non-Indians.
Forer traced the history of government control of Indian land to 18th century Spaniards who legalized the transfer of Indian land to early Spanish settlers.
Forer's comment was made Saturday at the first of two discussion groups about the Indian movement at the Commission on the Women's Fall Political Seminar in Wescoe Hall.
Forer said rent for leased Indian land was directly to the BIA. Reservation Inventory and Regulatory Committee must petition the BIA for money, he said. "This explains the locked-in economic burden."
"This explains the locked-in economic condition of the Indian," he said.

The 12 students who attended the seminar also discussed the Indian's lack of civil rights and the conflict that arose between the Prairie Band Potawatomi tribe and the federal government over the right to set up tribal governments on the reservation.
Rorer said the tribe would take its case to court in two or three weeks to resolve the matter.
