From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 21, 1973:

• A front-page photo today featured new pedestrian crossings near Lawrence schools. The freshly-painted areas displayed signs marking school zones and school crossings as well as the lower speed limit to be observed when school was in session. Drivers failing to heed the signs and speed limits would have to “stand and deliver,” according to George Catt, municipal court judge. Radar checks in school zones were to occur on the first day of school, and under a new policy, Catt would be assessing $2 for each mile per hour in excess of the 20 miles per hour speed limit in school zones. This fee represented twice the normal amount for speeding. Catt said that he occasionally would vary his policy and charge more or less depending on the circumstances, but he added that anyone trying to talk him out of a fine were likely to receive a stern lecture.
• Enrollment at Kansas University was to begin this week for an expected 19,110 students. Seniors and fifth-year students were to lead the way to Hoch Auditorium for registration and then to Allen Fieldhouse for an alphabetically-ordered schedule of enrollment.
