An editorial welcomes the Eldridge Hotel reopening in downtown Lawrence as a welcomed historic gem and boutique stay but argues it falls short for large convention groups. It urges city and chamber officials to pursue private development or new projects to fill Lawrence's ongoing need for sizable meeting space amid Holidome uncertainty and potential Holiday Inn loss.

Old Home Town Years Ago
The Douglas County Planning Council on Services for the Aging had a new director, Alex Conchola, 28, meeting the 1980 advisory board and expressing strong optimism. Kansas University Chancellor Archie Dykes supported a committee-recommended policy change on banners, but existing rules would apply at the 1980 commencement. KU student Larry Meeker stirred campus interest driving a restored Model A Ford Deluxe roadster with a rag top. A separate 1905 item notes Snyder, Oklahoma being moved toward Mountain Park after a deadly cyclone and mentions train No 17 wrecks as suspected sabotage, with multiple similar incidents in recent months.
