Numbers behind the tulips
MADDY MIKINSKI news@kansan.com
The University plants about 12,000 Dutch tulip bulbs per year.
The bulbs are planted in November.
After blooming, each flower lasts around three weeks.
- This year, the University spent about $5,000 on tulips.
At the end of spring, the tulips are removed to make room for annuals such as Begonias and vincas.
They require little upkeep besides regular weeding.

Red tulips bloom around the Chi Omega Fountain. They will last about three weeks after blooming and be removed at the end of spring to make room for annuals.

it was 88 years ago tomorrow that the cornerstone was laid for the Kansas Union building. Slowed by the Great Depression, construction of the building took 12 years. Both the Union and the Memorial Stadium are memorials to the fallen of World War I.
STATE Kansas woman sentenced in prescription drug case
TOPEKA, Kan. — A Manhattan woman has been placed on two years' probation for her role in a conspiracy to distribute prescription drugs at a northeast Kansas pain clinic.
The U.S. Attorney's office says 30-year-old Sarah Harding-Huffine was sentenced Monday. She pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy to unlawfully distribute prescription drugs from the Manhattan clinic of Dr. Michael Schuster.
Harding-Huffine admitted to illegally writing prescriptions for Oxycodone and other controlled substances on blank forms that Schuster signed and left for his staff when he traveled outside the country. Harding-Huffine was not a licensed health care provider and did not have a federal drug registration number.
Schuster pleaded guilty earlier this year to unlawfully distributing controlled substances. He was sentenced to five years in federal prison.
