Kansas science and math teachers easily recruited away

We rank 33rd in the country for teacher pay, 49th in teacher funded retirement, but Kansas teachers, (with help from good parents), rank in the top 15, and often in the top 10 year in, year out. Kansas is getting a great bargain, as far as education is concerned. It's public officials? Brownback is rate 46th out of 50.

Top prospect Andrew Wiggins chooses Kansas

There is no comparison, just no comparison. If you have any prior knowledge about Andrew, you'll realize that he's on track to become one of the great basketball players of all time. He's already better, much better than any current college basketball player, a young man who comes around every other decade or so. This is the opinion of every analyst in the country.

Lawrence ranked second-worst-performing small metro area, according to new national economic index

Ha. Ok, ask yourselves this: is there any other way to rank a city? I know that being near to last in an economic survey isn't thrilling, but perhaps the golden lining is that Lawrence then doesn't have to deal with the negatives that come with "progress" and "development." Nearby Perry Lake is a perfect example: it's practically undeveloped, but and because of this is beautiful and has more wildlife and natural habitat than other lakes in other states whose lakes are merely waterhole cash registers.

Building that will house original "Rules of Basket Ball" will be called the DeBruce Center

Call it what you will! It's a great thing that the university rightfully has Naismtih's rules!
Thanks to the generosity of the DeBruce and Booth families! If possible, use a small portion of the money to use a heavy digger to transplant the beautiful trees!

"Rules of Basket Ball" museum to get a name; Burt Hall to be razed

George, let me help you here: Since the dawn of man, competition has heightened men's souls, better this than war. Most games are the vestigial tail of early warfare. Rather Rock Chalk Jayhawk than Cut Their Heads Off.

I played bball for a small town in Western Kansas 35 years ago, and when we stood around the circle waiting for the jump ball, I can remember getting chills, thinking that
I was representing my hometown.

It doesn't have to make sense. Maybe it doesn't.

Letter: Living wage

Robotic labor in the next 10-20 years will date every argument here. That is what we should be focused on.
