From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Mar. 26, 1971:

• In Houston, the UCLA Bruins put a halt to the Jayhawks’ 21-game winning streak and their hopes of advancing in the NCAA tournament. The Bruins, owners of four straight national titles, had built a 68-53 lead with only 1:45 remaining. Kansas had managed to bring the score up to 68-60 before the heartbreaking finish. Poor shooting had put the Jayhawks behind early in the game as they hit only 12 of 23 from the free-throw line and 40 percent from the field.
• State representative Robert Miller, R-Wellington, had discovered that Atty. Gen. Vern Miller had printed up 700 “commissioning cards” which would deputize citizens as special law enforcement officers. Miller responded that it was within his sphere of authority to issues such cards and that he would continue to do so as he saw fit. “I find the right to bear arms by untrained individuals quite questionable,” said Robert Miller.
