New law to make contracts viewable
TOPEKA — Kansas government will soon be a little more open under a new law making it clear that public employee contracts and agreements are subject to public scrutiny.
The changes take effect July. 1. The Lawrence Journal-World's request in 2003 to the University of Kansas to fully disclose all compensation paid to athletic director Lew Perkins, including money that came from nonpublic sources inspired the changes.
Current law requires disclosure of records of names, positions, salaries and lengths of service of public employees. The Associated Press
Woman won't sue over finger in food
NATION
Pedaling philanthropists
LAS VEGAS — A woman who claimed she scooped up a human finger in her chili at a Wendy's restaurant has decided not to sue the fast-food chain, her lawyer said yesterday.
Anna Ayala is dropping her claim because the police investigations, DNA tests, a search of her home and intense publicity have "been very difficult for her emotionally," attorney Jeffrey Janoff said.
He would not say if the decision was prompted by a report a woman in Nevada had lost her finger a month earlier in a leopard attack, and that it might be related to Ayala's claim.

Pi Kappa Phi is cycling for 50 straight hours to raise awareness for Push America, an organization that benefits the disabled.
