From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 30, 1974:

• In the only change proposed so far for school boundaries for fall 1974, about 60 elementary school students living in the Gaslight Village mobile home park were to be asked to attend Cordley instead of Schwegler School. Lawrence School District 497 personnel were to meet with parents this week to discuss the proposal, which had been suggested as a solution to overcrowding at Schwegler and declining enrollment at Cordley. Seventeen kindergarten students living in Gaslight Village had switched from Schwegler to India School the previous fall because of overcrowding at Schwegler.
• Gov. Robert Docking this week signed into laws a bill granting Kansas college faculty pay increases of 10 and 11 percent. The increases, totaling about $7.6 million, had been included in the colleges’ appropriations bill and represented the full increase sought by the state Board of Regents of 10 percent at the University of Kansas and Wichita State and 11 percent at Kansas State and the three state colleges at Emporia, Hays, and Pittsburg.
