Foam failure delays Kansas highway interchange project
The South Lawrence Trafficway interchange at Bob Billings Parkway will be delayed for weeks and cost about 2.1 million more after a foam base used in pavement failed to hold. KDOT will revert to earth and concrete methods, remove the foam, and reassess the 18.23 million plan, a lesson learned for future projects.

Parish House Plans In 1915 Lawrence Church Expansion
The Congregational church in Lawrence selects a south side site at 925 Vermont for a new parish house costing 15000 dollars built to harmonize with the main structure. A straight staircase replaces the spiral, and an open arcade will run along the rear. The plan awaits approval and growth with the building. The issue also notes campus fundraisers and Haskell’s football shift. The Fixer will be shown as a benefit for the University W S G A and the Women’s Student Government Association Scholarship fund. The Haskell Indians suspend open style play this season, reverting to the old line smash due to lacking key players.
