Lawrence, KS
Travel just 40 miles west of Kansas City on I-70 and you'll find a town, Lawrence, ranked by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of the Dozen Most Distinctive Destinations in 2000, touting it as one of the most well-preserved and unique communities in the United States. Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Northeast Kansas, this college town of more than 80,000 is home to the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University.
Founded in 1854 by the New England Emigrant Aid Society in an effort to keep the territory free from slavery, Lawrence is said to be one of the only U.S. cities founded strictly for political reasons. During the Civil War, Lawrence was home to many Abolitionists and Free Staters. It was a town representative of anti-slavery sentiments, making it the target of several attacks by pro-slavery bushwhackers. On August 21, 1863, the infamous Quantrill's Raid resulted in the deaths of more than 150 unarmed Lawrence men and boys and nearly destroyed the young city in what has become by historians as one of the worst atrocities of the Civil War. As a result, Lawrence has evolved into a melting pot of ideas and styles, artists and scholars, past and present.
Meander along Massachusetts Street and you'll soon see why Mass. Street has been called one of America's most authentic main streets. The five-block downtown district is lined with century-old buildings, eclectic boutiques, tempting sidewalk cafes, curious antique shops and a multitude of art galleries and studios. Live music plays along the street every night of the week, from folk to jazz, rock to blues and everything in between.
On KU's scenic 950-acre campus, you will find a treasure trove of things to do and see. At the KU Natural History Museum, you will see nationally recognized exhibits, including Comanche, the only U.S. Army survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn. Benton, Chihuly, Curry, Monet, Rossetti and Wood are a few of the artists featured at the Spencer Museum of Art. With a 23-foot stained glass American flag as a backdrop, follow the path of Bob Dole from a modest home in Russell to his role as U.S. Senate Majority Leader and presidential candidate at the Dole Institute of Politics. Then spend your evening watching award-winning artists from all corners of the globe perform on stage at the Lied Center of Kansas.

So why does Kansas hate Missouri?
It all started with one of the worst laws in American history- The Kansas-Nebraska Act. By the 1850s, many Americans were illegally moving to what would become Kansas. Most of them came for that sweet, cheap, farmland, ignoring the earlier promises to give much of the area to Native Americans who had previously been pushed out of their homes back east. After talks picked up about building a transcontinental railroad through the area, Congress went to work trying to come up with a law to make Kansas a territory and give it the infrastructure it needed to allow settlement. It wasn’t easy. You see, there was the slavery issue. Americans were divided-go figure- about the expansion of slavery out west. According to the Missouri Compromise, passed back in 1820, any new territory created north of the 36°30’ parallel and west of Missouri couldn’t have slavery. So Missouri would be the last slave state north of 36-30. However, pro-slavery folks felt if Kansas was a territory it should also have slavery since they weren’t getting slavery in the desert southwest.
Pro-slavery and anti-slavery members of Congress passionately debated the issue. Finally, in 1854, Illinois Senator Stephen Douglas came up with another compromise, that crappy law I brought up earlier- The Kansas-Nebraska Act. Congress barely passed it, and President Franklin Pierce signed it into law on May 30, 1854. It created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska. It got rid of that 36-30 line of the Missouri Compromise, and it established popular sovereignty in both territories to solve the slavery issue. In other words, it allowed the settlers to decide whether or not to have slavery in both territories. I know, what could go wrong, right?
Well a lot went wrong in Kansas. Remember, Missouri was a slave state. Within days of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, hundreds of pro-slavery Missourians crossed the border into Kansas territory claiming land. They organized and plotted ways to politically influence the region. 11 days after the Act passed, Missourians put together a meeting at Salt Creek Valley, just west of Fort Leavenworth in Kansas, creating the Squatter’s Claim Association, and calling for people to sacrifice their lives by settling in Kansas to ensure it became a slave state.
Not to be outdone, the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Company organized in uh, yeah, Massachusetts, an abolitionist hotbed, to help settlers move to Kansas to make sure it became a free state. It sent its first 29 settlers on July 29th, 1854.
Ice, Ice, Baby Lessons: 2. GLACIER DYNAMICS: What Happens to a Glacier under Pressure?
This demonstration shows students one reason a glacier moves. A glacier is a large mass of ice that acts like a river, flowing downhill under the influence of gravity. As snow layers accumulate and gather weight, the pressure builds up on the bottom layer. This causes the bottom layer of ice to melt and it becomes soft and pliable. This warmer layer reduces the friction with the ground underneath and allows the glacier to move faster. The melting of the ice due to pressure and its refreezing is called regelation. The softer ice moves outward like thick honey. The snow layers continue to compress and add weight and pressure to the layers below which cause continuing relegation, and therefore movement. (

THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
1301 MISSISSIPPI ST
LAWRENCE, KS 66045
Decided to fly an American flag that was turned into an art project by Josephine Meckseper. Meckseper poured black paint on the flag and said it represented division in our country and was hoping to unite people.
To say the least this was an outrage and it was an outrage that the University allowed this to happen. It also makes me disgusted to think that Universities such as this receive taxpayers money in order to help fund them.
