Sound Off for April 2002

Tuesday, April 30

I would like to know why in the 65 teachers cut next year because of budget problems there's not one district coordinator in that list, there's not one administrative service personnel or one administrator in that list?

Sunday, April 28

There were two recent deaths in Lawrence; one was a student in the basement of a dental clinic and nitrous oxide was suspected, and another student crashed his car on campus, and his alcohol level was to be reported. What is the update on these stories?

Saturday, April 27

I read the item about the Lawrence Police officer losing his flashlight in the club the other night, and it raised a couple of questions: Why are Lawrence Police carrying $100 flashlights, and what kind of flashlight does one get for $100?

Friday, April 26

When is graduation at Kansas University?

Thursday, April 25

What did the Kansas Legislature do this year about telephone solicitation?

Wednesday, April 24

There was an article maybe a few months ago that featured a KU student who was doing research on brown recluse spiders. I wondered if you could give me the information that was given, like this student's number and his Web site.

Tuesday, April 23

I noticed while driving on the Kansas Turnpike the other day there were work crews collecting and piling up dead wood on the side of the road and then setting those piles on fire. Is this legal?

Monday, April 22

When did the Earth Day tradition start?

Sunday, April 21

Could you please list the tuition and fee rates for the state universities?

Saturday, April 20

Headed toward Kansas City on I-70 there are signs that say "no jake brakes." What's that mean?

Friday, April 19

How often does Lawrence Fire & Medical hire firefighters? What is the cutoff date for getting their EMT license?

Thursday, April 18

Is the Senior Center, which serves Meals on Wheels, allowed to give away the leftover food?

Wednesday, April 17

I'd like to know what the purpose is of listing the ambulance calls in the paper. Every day it just says "medical emergency," the time, date, and an address. I'd think that space could be better used for more Lawrence news.

Tuesday, April 16

Why didn't Kansas University and the other Final Four universities get TV spots during the games, like they did during some of the regular season broadcasts?

Monday, April 15

What is Kansas University's all-time win-lose record when Ed Hightower has been officiating?

Sunday, April 14

When is the Colorado-KU football game?

Saturday, April 13

When is the paper going to put the real estate taxes on the computer so we can check them?

Friday, April 12

Why are we laying off Lawrence public school teachers based on their seniority in the district? Why don't we lay off the worst teachers based on their evaluations?

Thursday, April 11

Why during the Maryland-Kansas Final Four semifinal game did Maryland wear home white uniforms while Kansas wore blue road uniforms? Wasn't Kansas the higher seed and deserving to wear home uniforms?

Wednesday, April 10

Why don't Lawrence Police officers wear their seatbelts when they drive? Aren't these the same people who give out citations for not wearing seatbelts? Aren't they required to abide by the law as well?

Tuesday, April 9

I was wondering when you were going to publish the winner of the NCAA basketball bracket contest.

Monday, April 8

How much did the B-1B bomber flyover at Memorial Stadium for the Jayhawks' homecoming cost the taxpayers?

Sunday, April 7

My second-graders at Cordley School read the Journal-World every morning, and about a month or so ago there was an article about some missing piglets. We have not seen a follow-up article, and we were wondering what ever happened to the missing piglets, or if they know?

Saturday, April 6

I'd like to know Jon Niccum's background. Does he have advanced degrees in film criticism and music history?

Friday, April 5

Where on the Kansas University campus is Ekdahl Dining Commons located?

Thursday, April 4

What is the name and address of the supervisor of the officials at the recent Maryland-Kansas NCAA basketball game?

Wednesday, April 3

I was wondering how much money Kansas receives from lottery winnings?

Tuesday, April 2

What happened to the Robert Bruss column that used to be in the Home Weekend section on Friday about real estate?

Monday, April 1
