Obama coming to Lawrence to visit KU on Friday
LJWorld likes to use Kansas University. They're weird like that. They're the same thing though.

Letter: Offended voter
Perhaps it says something about the society I've grown up in, but I had always thought that you needed to show an ID when voting even before the voter ID law was passed. I'm 21 years old and can't recall a time when I (or at least my parents) didn't need to show ID in an airport. I've had a school ID for the last 8 years. I got a passport at 14 and a learner's permit at 15. Having to show a photo ID to order a drink or when making a withdrawal at the bank has become part of my life. Even showing documentation like my birth certificate or Social Security card seems normal. I understand the LTE's hatred of Kobach, but we live in a society where proving who you are through official documents or IDs is pretty commonplace. The poll workers are just doing the job they volunteered to do. I would even show ID to my mom if she was working the polls. Chuckle about it with people you know. Unfortunately the law is the law, and your life is only worse if you don't follow it.

School board OK's $4.1 million in projects; reorganizes administration
I'm sure they will try their best to block Facebook, but the kids are always one step ahead. They may decide to use Facebook instead of trying to block it out. One of the civics teachers at my high school used Twitter as a classroom tool. And honestly if a kid is on Facebook and not paying attention, his grade will reflect that.

School board OK's $4.1 million in projects; reorganizes administration
I'm ok with tennis courts. Those can be used for not only the school teams, but also gym classes and community use. It's also supporting one of many sports that is often overlooked in favor of football. But of course one might consider that Rock Chalk Park is supposed to have lighted tennis courts. But Title IX and the state high school league or the conference may require new courts for facility fairness and the ability to host matches. Much like KU building a new track, FSHS could benefit from new courts by being able to host events and not face consequences for sub-par facilities.

Construction to reduce downtown Kansas River bridges to one lane beginning Monday
A Minnesota company? Hope it wasn't the same company that was working on the 35W bridge in 2007...

Anti-abortion bill expected to win final approval this week
So basically what you're saying is that as a 21 year old female in this state, the government is going to take a very active (and invasive) role in what goes on in my bedroom. Unfortunately I'm here for the next year to finish my degree before I can escape.

Kansas Senate advances sweeping anti-abortion measure
Nobody is "pro-abortion." We are pro-choice.

KU Wind Ensemble nets New York Times review, plans local encore show
I had the pleasure of attending the dress rehearsal last night. The Wind Ensemble really is a talented group of undergrad and graduate students. They represent KU and the School of Music well!

Lawrence approves citywide curbside recycling program to begin in October 2014
I've heard that the apartment complexes will get recycling dumpsters along with the ones for trash. Our bills will probably go up just like homeowners.

Kansas State Board of Education to review new social studies standards
How is this not bigger news?? And I'm pretty sure even the legislature would have a hard time blocking Common Core. I believe it's one of the requirements for the federal waiver.
