Editorial: Market move
I sure wish we could find a permanent place for a sheltered farmers' market, similar to what can be found in Olympia, WA. It's a very popular place. I'm sure it pays for itself and vendors make money there. In the case of Olympia, it also brings people downtown to shop at the downtown stores or to visit the restaurants on Budd Bay. I like the idea of having the market to the east of downtown north of 9th St. Let's spend some development money in east Lawrence. I would be far more supportive of my tax dollars helping build a permanent farmers' market near downtown rather than some of the other projects we will be paying for in the coming few years at the far fringes of our city, far from most residents.

Mono-dramatic: Jayhawks sloppy in new jerseys
At least the uniforms are KU colors. I'm still a little irked at the black football uniforms worn in that one game. Since when has black been a KU color? Don't mess with the colors!

Writer Evan Connell, who died Thursday, was KU grad
I enjoyed reading Son of the Morning Star. I still need to get Deus Lo Volt! and see how he handled the Crusades. He had a good, long life it seems. Not too bad leaving some good books behind as your legacy... Er ruhe in Frieden.

Heard on the Hill: Congress approves student loan package; new KU Hospital facility opens; KU Alumni Association traveling state, country during the summer
A clarification - while there will still be a grace period, interest will no longer be subsidized during the grace period.

Students might be charged lower interest in the coming year, but they are losing the 6-month grace period to find a job after leaving school, along with now having a stronger limitiation in place as to how many years an undergraduate can get subsidized loans. I'm not sure at all what's really positive about the student loan news.

Town Talk: UPDATE: City seeking to buy Salvation Army building; Minsky's opens downtown; city proposing 4 percent hike in water, sewer rates; city estimates $2.4 M needed for rec center infrastructure
I worked at the downtown Pizza Hut for 10 years from 1976 to 1986. The restaurant opened at the time when the Mass St. Deli was closing for renovation. The lack of competition in the 900 block of Mass at the time along with the the fact that there was only one other restaurant in town at the time with a salad bar (Cornucopia) made Pizza Hut downtown a very popular place, especially since we had a lunch buffet and also a fruit/pudding bar. Lots of good people worked there through the years. It was once one of the busiest Pizza Huts in the nation. That was then. We made our dough fresh every day.
Minsky's tried Lawrence once over near 23rd and Iowa either in the late 70s or early 80s. They didn't stay long back then. Maybe they'll do better now in a new location. I wish them success downtown.
