From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 9, 1989:

• A 76-year-old stone bridge in the southwest part of the county had been nominated for the National Register of Historic Places, according to a Kansas State Historical Society official. The society’s historical sites board of review had voted unanimously to nominate the structure, known locally as Chicken Creek bridge, said Larry Jochims, a society historian.
• Men’s basketball coach Roy Williams, now in his second year at Kansas University, insisted he paid no attention to regular-season polls, so he might have missed the news this week that the Associated Press was ranking the Jayhawks second in the country. The only team keeping KU from the No. 1 spot was Syracuse, who was keeping its ranking for the second straight week.
