For those not familiar with the lay of the land, Mount Oread is one of just a few bumps in the ground west of the Missouri and is home to the University of Kansas (KU) in Lawrence.

It has generally been a pretty liberal place compared to most of the surrounding areas. Traveling as a young student in the late 60s/70s was "interesting". Friendlies: Denver to the west, Madison to the north, nothing to the south; east - long drive to the coast.

KS - please let me know that this has changed.
