TOPEKA — Even with new language in the Kansas Constitution dealing with same sex unions, Attorney General Phill Kline said he wouldn't attack public or private benefit plans covering gays' and lesbians' partners.
Kline, who strongly supported the constitutional amendment approved by voters to ban gay marriage and civil unions for gay couples, said Wednesday that it did not apply to benefits that companies offer their employees.
A spokesman said while Kline's office wasn't aware of any public agency providing benefits to the partners of gay and lesbian employees, it received numerous questions about the amendment's effect.
And then the wall came tumbling down
In yesterday's University Daily Kansan, the story "And then the wall came tumbling down," was not printed in its entirety. The full story is printed below. It is also available online at Kansan.com.
Nigger, fag, spic, dirty Jew,
gimp, trailer trash. These words
were on the wall of hate yesterday.
And with one pull, the wall
came crashing down.
More than 20 representatives from different student organizations on campus were part of the tear down crew, which was asked to take down the wall.
All that remained of the wall that symbolically represented hate still present on campus was a long concrete stump.
The wall project was part of Hate Out Week, sponsored by the Multicultural Resource Center, the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Diversity Peer Education Team and the Association of University Residence Halls.

"The Wall of Hate is built

Tuesday, students were invited to share their experiences of hate or discrimination on campus.
Santos Nunez, director of the MRC, said the project's purpose was to allow KU students to symbolically tear down walls that cause hate on campus.
Nuñez said she found that many students found writing hate on the wall and than tearing it down to be very therapeutic.
Students were allowed to
write anything on the wall. The only limitation was from space.
By 4 p.m. on Tuesday, the north side of the wall was full.
Nuhez also recognized the Facilities Operations employees who spent six hours building the 7-by-12 foot wall Monday, starting at 7:30 a.m.
David Charles, St. Louis freshman, saw the wall when he was walking by the Stauffer-Flint Hall lawn after class. He stopped when he found out the wall was coming down.
After the ceremony several students took turns using a sledgehammer to smash what remained of the wall into smaller pieces they could take home.
"I think it's a wonderful idea to get all the hatred out," he said.

About 70 people came to the ceremony despite the cool air and overcast sky. Rain and sleet kept the crowd in fall 2002, the last time the wall ceremony took place, to only a few students, faculty and staff.
This year the ceremony was scheduled to coincide with the recent vote that will put an amendment in the Kansas constitution banning gay marriage. Nuñez said she also wanted this
