From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 22, 1974:

• Inflation was disrupting state-funded construction projects at Kansas University and other Board of Regents schools this summer. The board already had encountered costs 10 to 20 percent above available funding for new School of Engineering buildings at Kansas State University and Wichita State University, and the regents were facing a tough decision about bids $6 million over funding available for an addition to the KU Medical Center in Kansas City. “We’re going to have the same trouble with the KU Law School building — I’m convinced of it,” said Henry Bubb of Topeka, chair of the regents’ building committee. (Construction of the new law school was to begin in April or May of 1975, with the building scheduled for occupancy in fall 1977.)
• Movies showing in Lawrence this week included “Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry” at the Varsity and “Digby: The Biggest Dog in the World” at the Granada. The Hillcrest 3 was showing “Lovin’ Molly,” “The Swinging Cheerleaders,” and “Son of Dracula.”
