Commissioners to decide Sunday liquor sales Tuesday
The Lawrence City Commission will vote next Tuesday on whether to allow Sunday liquor sales in the city of Lawrence.
City commissioners have been addressing the issue for several months. Instead of voting immediately, the commissioners decided to see what happened in the Kansas Senate and surrounding communities.
The Lawrence vote follows Lenexa, Overland Park, Kansas City, Kan., and Edwardsville votes that passed the same law.
Kansas legislators declined to clarify the liquor laws in the state before the most recent session ended in May.
Kansas liquor laws are not uniform throughout the state, which enacts a constitutional provision known as home rule.
This allows cities and counties to determine their own laws, in this case liquor sales laws, through ordinances or popular vote. If the commission passes the law, liquor stores will begin to open Sundays starting in September.
South Korean organizations donate $25,000 to memorial
Members of the University of Kansas Korean Association in Seoul, South Korea, have teamed with five South Korean corporations to donate $25,000 for a KU memorial to people who were killed in the Korean War.
Provost David Shulenburger will return Saturday from a week-long visit to South Korea with the two checks. This tops the $60,000 mark for the proposed $300,000 project.
"It all depends on the donors," he said. "The idea has been around but slow to take off. Hopefully more people will continue to contribute and we can make it a reality."
Todd Cohen, representative of University Relations, said there was no timetable for the construction of the memorial.
The donations follow a $30,000 donation by Yong L. Kim, a Leawood businessman. He said he feels an obligation to honor the U.S. soldiers killed in the war.
About 60 alumni, students and faculty died in the war, which lasted from 1950 to 1953.
The memorial would be built on the hill above Potter Lake along Memorial Drive.
