It was 113 years ago tomorrow that KU played its first home basketball game at 807 Kentucky St. KU beat Topeka YMCA 31-6. Only 50 fans attended because a gas line had frozen and there was no heat in the building.

Loans to reach 1 trillion
Because of a law unique to Kansas, students can choose to vote in their hometown rather than where they attend college for state elections. The voter residency law was designed to help smaller counties in Kansas retain population and as such, their representation in the state House of Representatives.
Check out the full story to find out where you should be casting your ballot this year.
For the first time in years, there are enough disgruntled students and recent grads to bring higher education to the forefront of the
presidential campaigns. Student debt has become a $1 trillion issue — yep, that's 12 zeroes — and we want to know who you think has the best solution.
So far Barack Obama has the most votes in our poll, but go to PoliticalFiber.com to let us know what you think.
Humor Columnist Bryan Reynolds takes a shot at Obama supporters then and now.

A brief standoff at an apartment on Michigan Way led to an arrest of a suspect by Lawrence Police on Wednesday around 6:15 p.m.
Police responded to the call around 5:45 p.m. after an individual shot at a gray SUV headed north on Michigan Street. According to the first dispatch reports the passenger side window was shot out, but no injuries were reported.
A nearby resident said he
heard three or four shots while he was standing outside in his yard around 5:30 p.m.
Police surrounded apartment C at 1311 Michigan Way and used a bullhorn to communicate with the suspect, demanding he turn on the porch light first and then exit the home.
The man exited the house shortly after the demand and was taken into police custody.
Police declined to comment at the scene.
Lawrence police responded to an incident at 1311 Apt. C on Michigan Way Wednesday night. Neighbors in the area reported hearing gun shots. No official report has been released.

CRIME
Mob boss sent to prison, must pay $1.8 million
CHICAGO — A federal judge in Chicago has sentenced a reputed mob boss to 25 years in prison.
Michael Sarno was also ordered to pay nearly $1.8 million in restitution by Judge Ronald Guzman at Wednesdays hearing.
A jury convicted the 54-year-old and four co-defendants in 2010 of racketeering and other charges.
Prosecutors said Sarno and his crew wanted to warn a game distributor not to encoach on their video-poker turf on Chicago's South Side and in suburbs.
Experts say Sarno's background as an enforcer wouldn't normally have translated into a top mob job. But with aging kingpins behind bars or dying, a weakened Chicago Outfit offered positions to men like Sarno.
