100 years ago: Driver in yesterday's auto fatality arrested

gbulldog, if you really want to know all that, you can go to the library and look up the old newspaper articles...unless they are all in storage during the remodel.

Five years later, organization still keeping its 'promise'

Maybe you guys should learn to read. She has TWO children, plus herself and her partner to feed. Thus the "three additional mouths." Sounds like the partner is stepping up as well. Little as we like to admit it, 15 year olds do get pregnant. In addition, we know nothing about the situation that caused them to go from in a home to homeless, but statistics say that millions of Americans are just a paycheck or two away from being in her shoes. Maybe you should stop judging and just pat her on the back for her willingness to take care of her kids, AND do the work needed to ensure she can keep doing so.

A or A-minus? KU students want a straight answer

This was the part of the story that really caught my eye: " Faculty value their academic freedom, and a top-down edict would not go over well. "

Yeah, I really hate it when my boss tells me what to do, too! Sheesh...

Police officer injured while arresting burglary suspect at T-Mobile store

Apparently some pretty powerful stuff if neither pepper spray nor a taser subdued the guy! Thanks to the officer, thank goodness the injury wasn't worse!

The New Testament does allow for divorce in cases of adultery.

KU student sues Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, alleging underage drinking led to head injury

OK, I can see suing for assault. In fact, if the police responded to this incident, why weren't the assailants charged at that time? But suing because they "permitted" underage drinking? He CHOSE to drink. Unless they held a gun to his head and forced him to consume alcohol, the suit seems baseless on those grounds.

Lawrence man reports guns stolen in burglary Sunday

Don't worry guys, unless the thief took the ammo too, he won't be able to use them at all. Can't find any at any of the local retailers.

Sweeping abortion bill approved by Kansas House committee

I realize that you and other posters are trying to make points by including your comments about miscarriage and infertility. However, to those of us who have suffered from either or both of these, your comments are hurtful and rude. Please think about our suffering and grief before you speak so cavalierly about issues you obviously have never experienced.

Even though I think this legislation is ridiculous, the comments being made here are unacceptable.

Conservatives changing state government

Ya'll realize that any constitutional amendment must be approved by the voters, right? So, when it comes onto the ballot, go out and VOTE AGAINST IT.
