First of all: KU women claim first Outdoor track crown
Up in the body of the article Maroszek's result in the discus is way off. 56.81 meters is not 52' 1 3/4". They got it right down in the listing of all the events that KU scored in.(186' 5")

Opinion: Adult supervision returning to D.C.
It is pretty obvious that Will prefers partisanship to cooperation. I guess it sells more newspapers, but certainly doesn't help the country any.

Letter: First preamble
Unfortunately we do not know what the first cause was and quite possibly never will. The human mind has created many gods through the years to answer questions that had no obvious answer at the time. Even now we have multiple religions and multiple gods. Which one is right--probably none. That is the imaginary friend that grimpeur is referring to.

Letter: First preamble
Case 1: The incubator may not have wanted to be an incubator. There are such things as rape and contraception failure.
Case 2: It may be necessary to save the life of the incubator, who is a well established being and can possibly incubate again with more successful results. It is a lot less certain that the child saved at the expense of the incubator will live to be involved in reproduction. This is particularly true if the child is damaged at conception or during the pregnancy.

Kansas House bill targets sexually oriented businesses
At least at most clubs, the dancers are, in fact, independent contractors. The girls pay to dance there which is called "tip-out". There is a certain amount that the girls have to pay from their tips (their sole source of revenue). If a girl doesn't get significantly more than the tip-out, she is not going to stay very long.

Statehouse Live: Bill to repeal in-state tuition for undocumented students introduced in committee
This is just the reason that they come illegally. Most of them cannot afford the time and money to jump through hoops for years. If the US had a more rational immigration policy they wouldn't need to come here illegally. They are not coming here to become criminals, but to better themselves. The immigration policy that we have is, itself, almost criminal.

Simons' Saturday Column: Democratic presidential race is already under way
It is not totally true that the losers don't get a second chance. In my lifetime there have been three that came back. In fact one of them became a disgraced President, The other two were Thomas Dewey in 1944 and 1948 and Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and 1956. The latter two were pobably pretty much considered to be sacrficial lambs.

25 years ago: Dole autobiography places senator at wrong university
If you look back in history you will find that "Kansas State University" was used on occasion for Kansas University. This was prior to Kansas State College being renamed as Kansas State University. Where the Alma Mater now has "hail to old KU" it had earlier "hail to KSU". Prior to the renaming of Kansas State College, KU was the only state university of Kansas. I don't know if this figured in to the biographical "error" or not but it could have.

Letter: Buckle up
Ice is not always obvious. I think that it was our first classmate (LMHS, class of 1953) who lost her life because of that. Her life might have been saved if seat belts had been available then.
