From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 8, 1990:

After a battle led by resident Carol Johnson, occupants of Vermont Towers, 1101 Vermont, were to be allowed to purchase cable television. About three years earlier, Johnson had begun questioning why people in the building were not permitted to buy cable TV despite the fact that a survey showed more than 40 of about 60 residents were interested in having the service. After receiving no satisfactory answers, she had written numerous letters to James R. Albertson Jr., the building owner who lived in Wichita, again with no results. Finally, Johnson had petitioned Douglas County District Judge James Paddock for a permanent injunction against Albertson that would force him to allow the installation of cable TV. Albertson had eventually gone to Sunflower Cablevision and told them to go ahead with the installation, according to Dennis Knipfer, general manager of Sunflower. Johnson was happy to be victorious in the fight. “This building is for disabled and elderly people,” she said. “It’s just a matter of people being treated as people, rather than someone in storage for a while until they finally kick off…. We should have all the rights anybody should have; certainly we should have freedom of choice.”
