Sound Off for March 2003

Monday, March 31

Has KU's basketball team ever played Marquette before, specifically in the NCAA Tournament?

Sunday, March 30

When will KU decide on its tuition rate for next year?

Saturday, March 29

In an article in Tuesday's paper you mentioned a support group for parents of children in the military. How do we get hold of this support group or join?

Friday, March 28

I was wondering why on Channel 6 the ads come on so loud? Other stations seem to be getting away from that kind of activity where the ads are recorded at a much louder sound and so they come on and practically blast you out of the room. But Channel 6 seems to be going toward that.

Thursday, March 27

I would like to know how many registered vehicles there are in Kansas?

Wednesday, March 26

Has any consideration ever been given to conducting the Big 12 men's basketball tournament in Dallas and the Big 12 women's tournament in Kansas City, then flip-flopping the next year?

Tuesday, March 25

In the weekly TV section, what do the letters "N" and "S" in parentheses mean after program listings? And why doesn't the section indicate programs that are repeats?

Sunday, March 23

Does Kansas University have any international students from Iraq?

Thursday, March 20

How many cigarettes are sold annually in Kansas?

Wednesday, March 19

Monday, March 17

Is it legal for Kansas residents to purchase cigarettes in Missouri and avoid paying the higher Kansas cigarette tax?

Sunday, March 16

How can Centennial School even be called a neighborhood school? Doesn't it have a high percentage of transfer students who do not live in the Centennial neighborhood? What is their actual enrollment, and what percentage of those students are transfer students?

Saturday, March 15

I was wanting to know if it was true if Lawrence taxpayers had paid for that baseball field behind Free State High School and yet they are going to play all of their home games at KU's stadium. It looks like a waste of taxpayers' money.

Friday, March 14

Many Big 12 Conference schools have the league logo painted on their basketball floors. Why doesn't Kansas?

Thursday, March 13

The census map on page 1A of Wednesday's paper appears to be gerrymandered in the Cordley and New York school districts. Where does this map come from and was it rigged to show a minus population figure in the New York district?

Wednesday, March 12

How old is Quin Snyder?

Tuesday, March 11

Why didn't the Kansas University men's basketball band play its tradition foul-out song in the Jayhawks' season home finale when two of the Oklahoma State players fouled out?

Sunday, March 9

How often do they update the crime statistics on the Lawrence Police Department's Web site?

Saturday, March 8

Thursday, March 6

Are there any tickets available for the Big 12 men's basketball tournament?

Wednesday, March 5

Under what circumstances and what law mandates the Lawrence district to pay for the private education of a student?

I would like to know why on Jan. 23, when the temperature was below zero and classes were called off in all major school districts in the state of Kansas because of the frigid weather, the Lawrence school district decided to send the children out in the cold weather.

Monday, March 3

When and where is the Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament?

Sunday, March 2

We received a number of phone calls from telephone solicitors who say they are taking surveys. But as the call progresses they try to sell something. The survey is just a ruse. Are these people in violation of the no-call rule and how can I report them?

Saturday, March 1

I know that Lawrence resident Gladys Johns, who died at age 102, was the first and only female sheriff in Douglas County. I've also heard she was the first female sheriff in the state. Is that true?
