The plan aims to boost recruitment while addressing concerns that past efforts lacked follow up and genuine engagement with Kansas students and families.

Glover Defeats Harper In Democratic Primary For Prosecutor
In 1984 Lawrence, Mike Glover won the Democratic primary for county prosecutor with 2,923 votes to Jerry Harper's 1,259, advancing to face Republican Jim Flory in November after Flory ran unopposed in the primary. Voters also rejected a half-cent Douglas County sales tax by 5,688 against to 4,512 in opposition. A two day county fair rodeo drew disappointing crowds despite fair weather, casting doubt on the rodeo’s future. Additionally, 1909 notes mention no new decisions on downtown lighting, cement sidewalk contracts to Haskell, and Mayor Sam Bishop's petition against high insurance rates with over 50 signatures in one hour.
