Larryville Gets a Scenic Overlook! / The Boys' Book Club Reads "How To Love Like a Hot Chick!" (Vol. I)

KU architecture students have designed a 400 square foot "viewing platform" located on a cliff at the edge of Rockefeller Prairie (since when do prairies have cliffs?) at the KU Field Station three miles north of Larryville, slated to open early this year and "provide a spectacular view of the Kansas River valley, Lawrence and the University of Kansas" (KU website). The deck "will include a 20-foot-long curving bench, representative of waving fields of Kansas wheat."

Richard: "I predict this spot will be popular for lovers, and if my Chi Omega fountain plan fails, I hope to bang a sorostitute on this wheat-bench while singing the 'Rock Chalk' chant."

Chip: "I suspect this will be a popular suicide spot for leapers who are upset over this year's basketball squad."
