sidewalk The students involved had succeeded in making their voices heard.
In April 1990, a group of KU students living along Emery Road decided that a sidewalk was built to shake the street safer for pedestrians.
Lacking the authority to build the sidewalk themselves, they petitioned city hall to authorize the project.
On June 12, 1990, the Lawrence City Commission voted to build the
The decisions of the commission affect everyone in town, including KU students. However, few KU students attend the commission's meetings or consider its effect on their lives.
ticed by the average student
Jennifer Ford, Lawrence High School senior and student member of the commission, said the commission's work often unwoo-
need by the average student. Of course, there is some student involvement in city affairs.
Some classes attend commission meetings, civil engineering students study civic design projects and the commission meets with Student Senate at least twice a year.
Shirley Martin Smith, mayor, said she was an advocate of student involvement in city affairs.
LAWRENCE
Continued from p. 1
On their ride through Kansas from Missouri, Quantrill's troops reportedly sacked farmers, stealing food, wages and whatever else they could find.
Quantrill's men rode through the town seeking men. Those men who the raiders found were shot and killed. Little resistance was offered to the raiders, and soon the town was in flames.
A description of the scene is provided in a book by Richard Cordley, a Lawrence historian, entitled, "A History of Lawrence. Kansas."
From every quarter they were being brought in, until the floor of the Methodist Church was covered with graffiti. Then three were buried in one long array.
"Massachusetts street was a bed of embers. On this one street, 75 buildings, containing at least two that number of places of business, were set up on the sidewalk, many of them so burned that they could not be recognized
About 150 people were killed in Quartell's raid. The majority of the town's businesses and 100 homes were destroyed.
The town quickly bounced back from the catastrophe, aided by the arrival of the railroad in 1864.
By the time Lawrence celebrated its 21st birthday in 1874, the town was well on its way to becoming a city of high quality. The city had gas lights like eastern cities.
Lawrence also had a street railway system that opened in 1871. The word PROGRESS was emblazoned on the rear car, which was pulled by a horse.
Another sign that the town was becoming a city was the construction of board sidewalks and a city hall.
Lawrence was expected to develop as Kansas' center of commerce and politics. But when the railhead was moved to Kansas City, and the capital to Topeka, manufacturing quickly took over as Lawrence's economic mainstay. Companies manufactured everything from shirts to barbed wire, including its economic renaissance, which is still evident today in the westward expansion of the city and its flourishing business community.
