Lawrence, KU ties close, beneficial
By JOHN HILL
"I think Lawrence enjoys being a university city," said Keith L. Winter, manager of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, while discussing the relationship of KU with the city of Lawrence.
"Mutual benefit" appears to be the key to the cooperative attitude between the University and the city, according to Winter.
KU students, whose buying power is of obvious benefit to Lawrence businessmen, are in turn supported by the merchants with advertising in the UDK and the Jayhawker, promotion, and sponsorship of special events, such as float parades, and by the employment that is often available.
"I THINK IT'S a real good relationship," said Winter. "The businessmen have been helpful to the student, and vice-versa."
Quite conscious of the importance of the relationship between the city and the University, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce helped originate the Organization of University Cities.
This organization, composed of representatives from each of the universities in the Big Eight Conference, met last January and plans to meet twice a year to discuss the problems and goals that face all university cities, Winter said.
Each university-city group is represented by their respective chancellors, mayor, and chamber of commerce presidents.
THE LAWRENCE Chamber of Commerce, whose purpose is to create jobs and generally improve the community, often acts as the "common meeting ground" for KU professors and Lawrence residents.
"Dialogue between the businessman and the average professor is difficult." Winter said.
He explained that the Chamber of Commerce hoped to solve any problems along this line.

"SAY 1000 PROFESSORS come in and we get to know 100 of them," Winter said. "We should get to know at least 500. We can use their talents, and they're interested in their community and should support and work for it."
Preparation of brochures and gathering information for industrial use are some of the specific activities in which the University and the city work together.
"We will be the best Chamber of Commerce and the best city in the mid-west," Winter said.
