Pharmacy profs get political posts
By JACKI CAMPBELL
One associate professor of pharmacy may wear a sweatshirt to class tomorrow—a sweatshirt with "Justice of the Peace" written boldly across the front and "Marryrin' Matt" across the back.
Another associate pharmacy professor may wear his new sweatshirt with Old English lettering saying "Constable" and a cartoon constable on the front and a big star on the back.
THE SWEATSHIRTS are gifts and soon, rumors suggest, the two may have shingles outside their offices in Malott Hall re-emphasizing their newest governmental titles.
Mathias P. Mertes became Lawrence's justice of the peace this morning and Robert A. Wiley, the city constable.
They were elected by write-in votes in last November's election.
"THEY'RE QUITE POLITICALLY minded and very conscientious," Linda Riggs, Mertes' research assistant, said.
"We talk a lot about their future political aspirations in class," Mrs. Riggs said. "We've even considered writing a new book entitled 'The Making of the Justice of the Peace—1966.'"
"Both have flatly denied the use of this office as a stepping stone to higher offices," she added
MERTES' GRADUATE STUDENTS gave him a long black robe for Christmas to wear when performing marriages.
Mertes and Wiley did not seek election, but several of their associates worked very hard for confirmation of it.
Mrs. Riggs had lots of correspondence with D. E. Mathia, Douglas County Clerk, to learn of the election results.
A letter asking the results was quickly answered with a list of those receiving votes in the race for the offices in question. Mertes and Wiley were the winners.
Mrs. Riggs next asked whether the winners had been notified.
The bottom of this letter served as stationery for Mr. Mathia's reply: "Notice of election has been mailed to each. If they qualify by posting bond and take the oath, it will be at 11 a.m. the second Monday in January."
"Dear Sir: As you will recall, I inquired about the results of the November 8, 1966 election in the contest for justice of the peace and constable for the City of Lawrence. Your delightfully prompt reply indicated the names of those elected and that those chosen by the voters had been notified of their election to office. However, after consulting with those individuals which you indicated were justice of the peace-elect and constable-elect, I find that they have not been officially notified of their election. Would you please explain this apparent inconsistency? Thank you."
MR. MATTHIA'S obviously hastily written response read, "Dear Mrs. Riggs: This is to acknowledge your letter pertaining to the constables and justice of the peace for the City of Lawrence. Each winning official was supposed to receive a Certificate of Election, and I felt confident that one had been mailed to each person elected to an office, however I must of been wrong."
The winners were notified, received their election certificates, posted bond and were sworn in this morning.
