From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Sept. 3, 1975:

• The Lawrence City Commission was being plagued by public complaints about bars on 14th Street. Lawrence police had been making nightly patrols to control a large crowd of students drinking beer at “two pockets of nonconforming uses,” the Wagon Wheel Cafe and the Jayhawk Cafe, both on or near 14th Street. Area residents had been complaining about large crowds drinking in the street. Neither tavern had the space to accommodate the crowds they drew, and neither could expand because they were nonconforming zoning uses.
• Dan Watkins, 640 Ohio, proved himself better than all his competitors this weekend when he took top honors in the state cow chips throwing contest at Russell Springs. Watkins, like other contestants, was allowed to make a personal selection of his chip from a truckload available. He then threw the chip 185.4 feet to take the title. Gov. Robert Bennett, competing in the VIP division, took third with a distance of 90.6 feet.
• KU sophomore and Lawrence High School graduate Beth Boozer, 18, was one of four finalists in Golf Digest Magazine’s most beautiful golfer contest. Boozer, a four-handicap golfer, had won a number of tournaments in the area over the years.
