student without a state

Last Friday, Douglas County District Judge Michael Malone rejected Kelly Barrow's petition that she be considered a Kansas resident when paying tuition.
A KU student has lost another round in her battle with the University of Kansas and the Board of Regents for in-state resident status.
Barrow, Lawrence senior, took her case to the court last December after losing an appeal to the University's Residency Appeals Committee. Before that, the Office of the University Registrar had turned down the residency application that Barrow had submitted at the beginning of the fall semester.
In his written order, Malone ruled that Barrow did not meet the Board of Regents requirement that an individual reside in Kansas for one year prior to becoming a student.
"Although Ms. Barrow has lived in Kansas continuously for four years, she has been enrolled as a student at all times during those four years, either at JCCC or KU," Malone wrote. "This continuous enrollment, even during summers, works against Ms. Barrow because it leads to the presumption that she is only living in Kansas for educational purposes."
Malone also ruled that Barrow's main source of income was out-of-state. Since June 1997, Barrow has worked for Regional Respiratory Care in Leawood, which is part of a company that her mother owns in Missouri.
"Maintenance of ties with another state, including financial support, may be considered sufficient evidence that the residence in the other state has been retained." Malone wrote.
He also rejected Barrow's argument that she was a Kansas resident because she had to pay out-of-state tuition at Longview Community College in Missouri in the summer of 1998. According to an earlier court decision, students can lose their resident status elsewhere and still not qualify for Kansas residency.

Early risers reap rewards from local farmers market

It is 6 a.m. on a warm Saturday. The sounds of people chattering and birds chirping are everywhere. Dogs big and small are getting their morning walk. The smells of all sorts of freshly cut flowers drift through the air. Signs like "We have catnip again this week" and "Iris' next week" are displayed on tables that showcase this week's woodyes.
Tailgates overflow with locally grown sweet corn, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, peppers, greens and eggplant. Scattered between the produce are tables of homemade soaps, flowers, candles and other home accessories.
It is another morning at the Farmers Market
Katie Mowrey, Lawrence vendor, is one sleep 13-year-old. Mowrey, along with her dad and grandparents, wakes up at 5:45 every Saturday morning to get her grandmother's stand ready for the big day.
"I do it for the money — and it's fun too," Mowrey says.
She sells produce and homemade jellies and potholders at the stand. "My dad and grandpa work the garden, the rest my grandma does."
Mowrey meets many people at the Farmers Market. They tell her about their own experiences making and growing things at home.
Just behind Mowrey is another vendor, Lawrence resident Debi Taylor.
Taylor is proud of the Lawrence Farmers Market. She say that although there are other markets in Oskaloosa, Topeka and Tonganoxie, she sees many regulars every Saturday from Overland Park and Kansas City.
She stands behind her table in front of her station wagon chatting with a neighboring vendor who scampers off to her stand to attend to a customer.
"We just have the best," she says.
Taylor says that one thing that sets the Lawrence Farmers Market apart from others is that everyone brings their dogs.
"You look around and you see a plethora of dogs," she said.
Taylor's preparations for Saturday begin Friday evening. She calls it the "Big Get Ready," when she restocks her merchandise, relablishes her homemade soaps and trims the leaves on her cut flowers.
People come to the Farmers Market and walk their dogs at the same time.
Saturday she gets up at 5 a.m. to load her car and heads off for another m.a.m. at the Farmers
She says that Crystal Harris has the best coffee and creamer. Harris, Lawrence vendor, describes her snickerdoodle coffee as a mix of cinnamon and nut. Her creamer sits in a china bowl.
Market.
Taylor's advice to those who attend: "Don't forget your coffee."
Although Harris has shopped at the Farmers Market for years, this is her first year selling her
Along with coffee, she sells baked goods and homemade candle lanterns.
Harris' neighbor, Jeanie Bundy sits in front of the Free State Brewing Co. stand eating her breakfast burrito and taking a break from shopping for produce.
Bundy is a regular at the Farmers Market. She knows where to buy the best foods.
She buys much of her produce — such as berries and corn — at the market. She also enjoys the homemade foods like relish and sweets that different stands sell.
But she always comes early. Much of the farmers' produce is sold soon after the market opens at 6:30 and by 10:30, the vendors start packing their things and loading them into their cars.
For shoppers who can't make the early Saturday round, the Farmers Market is also open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 6:30 p.m.
The market is at 10th and New Hampshire and runs from May 13 to Nov. 11.

Library outgrows 'temporary' home

Special to the Kansan
The Government Documents Library is being moved to Anschutz Library this week for lack of space in its old home on the sixth floor of Malott Hall.
Denise Stephens, head of Anschutz Library, said Malot Hall, a science building, was never intended to be the permanent home for the collection.
"It's obviously not designed for a public service area," Stephens said. "They have absolutely no room for growth."
The Malott location also has only one accessible elevator and no clearly marked directions.
Yet, government documents stayed at its "temporary" Malott location for 11 years
The space in Anschutz came from the underground expansion of levels 1 and 2. The Level 2 north wing was finished at the end of June and added 22,000 square feet to the library.
