Editorial on Lawrence split in congressional redistricting
The piece questions the split of Lawrence between the 2nd and 3rd districts as a political maneuver. It contrasts Lawrence’s ties to Kansas University with Fort Riley and Junction City, arguing a true community of interest exists within Lawrence and with Kansas City, while officials push a partisan map. The editorial criticizes lawmakers for using politics over meaningful community interests.

Old Home Town Years Ago In 1977 Bond Vote Proposed
The March 8 water bond election that approved an $8.4 million water plant near Clinton Lake faced technical problems in the ordinance, forcing a possible July 19 repeat vote. A zoning revamp by city planner Ray Weiss would affect development rules including lot sizes, parking, flood area zoning, and the board of zoning appeals. YEAR: On June 8, 1902 the Lawrence Journal noted a prohibition raid incident, arguing temperance should mean self-control and that violent efforts to enforce law were nearer to anarchy than whiskey selling.
