Don't visit Kansas again Michigan governor advised
Mayor David Longhurst joined many other Kansans by responding to the governor of Michigan's remarks last week on a radio talk show that Kansas was a "boring" state.
Michigan Gov. James J. Blanchard used Kansas as his scapegoat last week after a Michigan caller asked him what Michigan had to offer in return for the high taxes it levied. He said that his state had natural beauty and cultural offerings, and that at least Michigan was not boring like Kansas.
"Their idea of a fancy hotel was a Friday inn, he said of the people of Lawrence.

or Lawrence. Longhurst told Blanchard in a letter last week that he was astonished to hear of the governor's rude and ungracious remarks about Lawrence and Kansas.
He said that he could not understand why the governor ducked the question of higher taxes by taking a cheap shot at Kansas.
"The welcome mat is out in Lawrence, as always, to visitors from all over the world." Longhurst told Blanchard in his letter. "But, quite frankly, I would just as soon you not come here again and be bored."
Vietnam memorial week designated
The Student Senate voted by acclamation last week to declare April 2-6 Prisoner of WarMissing in Action Vietnam Memorial Awareness Week.
Lisa Ashner, student body president, said that activities would include speakers, slide shows by veterans, photo displays and fund raising for KU's Vietnam War Memorial.
Asher also said that Chancellor Gene A. Budig last week had given the Vietnam War Memorial Committee permission to solicit donations off-campus for the proposed memorial. The committee so far has raised $15,000 of the necessary $30,000.
