Severe weather experts want Kansans aware. cautious The Associated Press WICHITA — As another tornado season approaches, meteorologists are again trying to convince Kansans to learn all they can about protecting themselves in severe weather. Meteorologists say too many Kansans still run outside to look when the sirens sound, rather than heading for safety. Phil Harris, of Haysville admits that he is one of those people. "I'm just kind of a curious guy about storms," Harris said. That curiosity prompted his decision to participate in a storm-spotter training session conducted by the National Weather Service this spring. "I want to get an idea of what I'm looking for in case of severe weather," he said. "At least I would know what the cloud formations mean." Providing that knowledge is the main reason the weather service has an annual Severe Weather Awareness Week, which began yesterday. Weather Service's Wichita office, wants to see people who aren't part of storm spotting networks at the storm spotter talks. Chance Hayes, warning coordinator for the National "Id love to see them come to try and grasp the safety aspects of it, for them to be able to react instantly without having to stop and think about what it is they're supposed to do."

CAMPUS Court denies reimbursement to newspaper's attorney The Kansas Supreme Court ruled Friday that The University Daily Kansan would not be reimbursed its attorney fees from a lawsuit related to the death of Felicia Bland. Bland was killed in an automobile accident on Highway 10 east of Lawrence on September 16,2000, when her car was struck by a car driven by Sean Scott, then 16. Scott is currently serving probation for his role in Bland's death. A civil case concerning the wreck is pending. The Kansan sued the Kansas Highway Patrol for access to the Sept. 16, 2000 accident report. In 2000, a state court ruled that the patrol should have released the report. However, the court also said the Kansan would not receive attorney fees because evidence did not show the patrol had acted in bad faith by withholding the report. Maggie Koerth STATE Speedway brings millions to Kansas City economy KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Skeptics expected a "beer and Bubba" crowd to invade Kansas Speedway to watch drivers bump cars and dent fenders. Bubba came — in force — and brought his cash. A study conducted by the Kansas City Sports Commission found that fans spent more than $150 million last year, with $70 million remaining in the local economy. Exposure on NBC, ESPN and ABC accounts for an additional $7.5 million in advertising value. Speedway general manager Jeff Boerger said that with an average ticket price of $55, the track sold out its 78,000 seats faster than any other track during an inaugural season. "Kansas can be proud to have a tourist spot like Kansas Speedway. We had a very successful year," Boerger said, noting 2002 sales were strong. In Kansas, the state paid for road improvements around the speedway and backed close to $100 million in bonds to help finance the $208 million project. The speedway is the largest venue in Kansas and Missouri, attracting more than 100,000 fans to NASCAR and Indy Racing League events in 2001. The venue will eventually hold seating for 150,000. "It further establishes the entire city as a professional sports community," Gray said. "This is one of the most exciting times in Kansas City."
