From the Lawrence Daily World for Nov. 14, 1910:

• “A girls’ dormitory costing $75,000 and affording a home for two hundred Co-eds during the college year will be one of the greatly needed additions to Kansas university next year if the plans of Chancellor Strong do not miscarry. Kansas has never had a dormitory of any description, having failed to keep pace with the progress of this character made by other schools. A dormitory has a potent influence on student life, tending to establish a standard which can be followed in private rooming and boarding clubs. A dormitory has never met with popular approval among Lawrence residents, as they fear it would have a tendency to decrease the commonly accepted rates paid for students for similar service.”
• “The county jail is crowded to capacity this week. It contains the largest number of prisoners ever quartered there. The cells will only hold sixteen prisoners and that number is now behind the steel doors. The county commissioners are planning to swing hammocks in the cells or construct a second bunk in each. This will double the capacity making it possible to keep thirty two prisoners safely and comfortably.”
• “Tomorrow marks the arrival of the open season on quail. One Lawrence party composed of Robert Manley, Otto Fischer, A. D. Weaver, and Charles Finch are planning to leave tonight for the Walton farm, in order to begin bagging birds with sunrise tomorrow. This group of hunters are always the first out every year.”
