Public administration receives $1.7 million gift
The public administration program received a $1.7 million gift from the late Thomas Page and Barbara Kester Page, both University of Kansas alumni. The money was part of a $2.3 million estate gift to the University.
John Nalbandian, chairman of public administration, said the money would go primarily for scholarships to support doctoral students.
The program is ranked 14th in the nation according to U.S.News and World Report. In the field of city management and urban policy, it's ranked No.1.
"I think we're going to be very competitive with this money in attracting the best students nationwide," Nalbandian said.

The resolution originated in a University Affairs committee meeting. Andy Knopp, business senator and University Affairs committee member, said Senate liked to have record of significant historic events and also to show support.
"It's a nice gesture for the families of those lost in the crash," Knopp said.

Police officer fired for giving misleading information
LAWRENCE — A Lawrence police officer accused of providing misleading information to a judge has been fired.
At least four cases linked to Stuart
Peck have been dismissed by Douglas County prosecutors after Judge Michael Malone said he had withheld information about a confidential search warrant application. Cases dropped included drug and burglary prosecutions.
Douglas County District Attorney Christine Kenney's staff is reviewing cases for which trials have not been completed.
In 2001, Peck signed an affidavit asking Malone for a warrant to search a house for evidence of drug dealing.
"The magistrate reviewing the affidavit for search warrant could not have been more misled about the confidential informant's veracity," Malone wrote.
STATE
Livestock might be targeted by terrorists
HAYS — The state's livestock commissioner is warning cattlemen that their herds are possible targets for a terrorist attack.
Commissioner George Teagarden yesterday urged producers to be vigilant with their livestock, especially at markets and feedlots.
Foot-and-mouth disease was the biggest concern because of how quickly it spreads and how hard it was to stop, he said.
"On our radar scope, it's the most contagious disease known to man," Teagarden said.
He said Kansas livestock producers weren't specifically listed as terror targets last week when the homeland security alert was raised to orange, but the warning did include livestock diseases as a possible terrorist tool.
"Producers should be watching for any unusual disease symptoms in the livestock, control access to their facilities and notify their veterinarian if any unusual disease symptoms are present," he said.
