From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 19, 1972:

• In Olathe this week, the Johnson County District Court had found that the hair code of South Johnson County School District 229 was unconstitutional. Judge Herbert Walton had ruled that the district had not justified the existence of the code, which prohibited hair from covering the ears.
• Recent resumption of bombing by the United States in North Vietnam was expected to give rise to protests in various parts of the U.S., but Chancellor Laurence Chalmers said today that he believed Kansas University would avoid the violence of 1970. “The possibility is present,” he said, “but I don’t see it in the present tenor of the campus. I don’t sense in the attitudes of students the same intense feelings of betrayal that occurred two years ago after the invasion of Cambodia and the killings at Jackson State and Kent State.”
