From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 27, 1971:

• Up on Mt. Oread, a wooden walkway had been constructed the previous spring along Jayhawk Boulevard so that pedestrians would have somewhere to walk during the Wescoe Hall construction. After receiving its first fresh coat of white paint in the fall, the wall of the walkway had been informally sanctioned to receive student input in the form of graffiti, art work, and posters. Now at the end of October, there was hardly an untouched area, and a pedestrian with a good bit of spare time could spend it perusing the comments (ranging from kindly to harsh), quotations, pictures, opinions, and personal messages.
• Over at Haskell Indian Junior College, a $112,382 contract had been awarded to Constant Construction Co. by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the building of a perimeter road. The road, to be built on the east edge of the campus, would lead to the printing and graphic arts building and the electronics building, both of which were still in the planning stages as well.
