City likes KU-Lawrence relations some students not well-satisfied
By GIRMA NEGASH
The city of Lawrence and the University of Kansas complement each other, are involved by common "town and gown" problems and in many ways are of inseparable entity.
City Manager Ray S. Wells, in an interview for "Kansas" magazine, has said, "What we do have is a university-minded city and civic-minded university."
The fact is, beside the 14,000 students who use the city's goods and services, there are nearly a thousand university staff teachers and workers who identify themselves as citizens of Lawrence and are ready to volunteer for civic activities.
The Chamber of Commerce and KU Student Housing Committee have aided in the building of hundreds of apartments and Greek houses. The tax-free university buildings, the student vehicles which require extra city services that are not paid for by property taxes, are plus values for the university.
ON THE OTHER HAND, the university brings a lot of buying traffic to the city's business. The sales to students, the cash spent by visitors and parents who come to see students and to attend cultural and sport events are the blood-veins of Lawrence income.
Mayor James Schubert said, "The university and city have an excellent relationship and make one big family. We in the city are grateful to have the university here. It is our biggest industry and we enjoy the cultural, social and sport events the university provides.

"I don't consider myself a citizen of Lawrence," said Jacqueline M. Resley, Russell junior. "The city and I have nothing in common, except when I shop for things. I do that because there is no other place."
Schubert said, "there are noticeable reductions and declines of business." He added, "It is not as severe as it used to be though, because of the larger summer enrollment."
Keith Winter, Lawrence Chamber of Commerce manager, said the role of the city is "to provide services, create jobs and good shopping areas for students and to provide schools, churches and the like, that will be needed by
the university faculty and administrators."
Winter also said that the university raises the educational level of the community and gives it cultural advancement and civic pride. Winter said that City Commission members confer with the university officials from time to time to hammer out mutual problems.
KU STUDENTS are citizens of Lawrence in a way—at least

The kind of job I want just doesn't exist.

I'm searching for meaning.

The trouble is, I also want a slice of the pie.
