Lighted courts

To the editor:

Another controversy has arisen regarding lights for the new tennis courts. Why in Lawrence, a town of so many activities, is it so difficult to install lights for the new tennis courts? I recently attended a conference in Farmington, N.M., a town much smaller than Lawrence without a world-class university like Kansas University, where their visitors guide listed 25 lighted tennis courts. You would think we lived in some small burg that rolls up the sidewalks every evening.
