Sixty-four years ago this week, Franklin Murphy became dean of the KU School of Medicine at only 32 years of age. Three years later, he replaced Deane Malott as KU's ninth (and certainly young) chancellor.

POLITICS
Super PACs gain power over GOP candidates
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — An unmistakable dynamic is playing out in the money game among Republican presidential candidates: New "super" political action committees are growing more powerful than the campaigns they support.
For two of the GOP front-runners, their supportive super PACs raised more money and have more cash left in the bank than the candidates' own campaigns. Helping their efforts are major financial gifts from wealthy business executives, whose contributions can be essential to the groups' continued operations.
The Mitt Romney-leaning Restore Our Future and Newt Ginngrich-supportive Winning Our
Future raised a combined $17 million last month and spent nearly $24 million during the period. That financial strength allowed the groups to splash the airwaves in key primary states with millions of dollars in TV ads.
Restore Our Future, which had $16 million cash on hand, has been boosted by more than two dozen repeat donors. Winning Our Future, which had $2.4 million in the bank, is largely supported by casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his wife.
Meanwhile, Romney raised $6.5 million last month and had $7.7 million left for his presidential bid, while Gingrich's presidential campaign raised $5.5 million during the period and had about $1.8 million in cash remaining.
