From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 23, 1974:

• A group created by the Lawrence City Commission to advise commissioners decided this week that it needed some advice of its own. In its first recommendation to the commission, the Citizens Advisory Council voted unanimously to have the Kansas Center for Regional Progress, Topeka, a division of Midwest Research Institute, help the council develop a goals program. The consultants would conduct a public opinion survey, aid the council in developing goals statements, help formulate short-range steps to achieve the broader goal, and aid in designing an implementation system. Council members were planning to ask the commission to spend $27,500 for the expertise of the consultants.
• Two young men, believed to be illegal immigrants from Mexico, had jumped from a train about 10 a.m. this morning in North Lawrence near the east city limits. One of the men had been injured in the leap and taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he was admitted for observation. The other man had been taken to the police station. Language differences were causing a delay in ascertaining the identity of the men, but police were contacting immigration agents in search of more information.
