Professor, Grads Study KC Elections
An investigation headed by a University of Kansas political science professor and two KU graduates concerning the coming Kansas City elections may produce the most intensively studied local election in American history.
The three political scientists who will lead the five-man research team, are John Grumm, associate professor of political science at KU; Howard Neighbor, assistant professor of political science at Park College in Parkville, Mo., who received his Ph.D. from the University in 1982, and Bernard Bray, research fellow and former KU graduate student from Veyay, Ind.
ASSISTING IN THE study are John Snider of Russell, Kan., who received his master's degree from KU in 1962, and Jim Baker of the University of Missouri.
Specially trained interviewers are also working on the study to develop a series of personal interviews with 1,000 selected Kansas City voters.
The interviews are being coordinated to obtain information concerning the various phases of the electoral processes such as the candidates' nominations, campaigns, and reactions, besides the local voting behavior which can be affected by a political party's role or the candidate's personality.
Prof. Grumm explained that in the past, information regarding local municipal elections has not been easy to obtain. He added that the results of the Kansas City study will
Expert to Examine Aspects of Alliance
One of the country's leading political scientists in Latin American government and politics will discuss "The Alliance for Progress" at 4:30 p.m. today in Fraser Theater.
Prof. George Blanksten of Northwestern University, a member of the Citizen's Advisory Committee to the Alliance for Progress director, said he will describe the strengths and weaknesses of the Alliance.
The Alliance is in some ways based on Operation Bootstrap, a series of projects for raising the standards of living in Puerto Rico.
A primary question about the Alliance, Prof. Blanksten said, is "Can it succeed in fostering economic development as an alternative to revolution?"
Today's lecture will cover the transferability of the Puerto Rican experience to the Latin American experience.

"We feel that this is the one important aspect of local elections," Prof. Grumm said, "We want to try and determine how these people are selected, who supports them, and the voters' reaction to them."
INSTITUTE FOR AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES
The data that will result from this study will be analyzed by the researchers in order to gain new insights into the electoral processes at the local level, and also to obtain significant information on the future of Kansas City politics.
Following the study, Prof. Grumm said he plans to collaborate with Prof. Neighbor and Bray this summer in writing a book on the findings.

1. I'll tell you what you have to look for in a job. You have to look for fringe benefits.
That's the big thing today.

You're right-you're right!
5. And you are not going to want to work all your life, are you?
You're going to want to take it easy - you know, travel around, live it up. So you need a retirement plan that guarantees you plenty of dough.
I can see it now.
6. That's why I say you have to look at the fringe benefits when you look for a job.
But don't you also have to look for interesting work, good income, the chance for advancement?
7. You sure do. That's why I'm going to work for Equitable. You get all those job advantages and all the fringe benefits, too. I admire your thinking.
