Date set for murder trial of University student
A date has been set for the murder trial of Shannon Martin, University of Kansas student killed while on study abroad in Golfito, Coast Rica.
The trial for accused Golfito residents Kattia Cruz, Rafael Zumbado and Luis Alberto Castro will begin March 20.
"We are certainly very hopeful about this latest announcement," said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations.
Two university officials will be briefed on the case's progress on a visit to Coastal Rica next month.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway sent a letter last week to the President of Coasta Rica urging their government to bring the accused to justice.

CCO co-director will become first lone director
Maggie Beedles, Center for Community Outreach co-director and CLAS senator, will no longer fill either position because she is not enrolled at the University of Kansas. She left for personal reasons.
Margaret Perkins-McGuinness, CCO co-director, will take on full responsibility as director of the program until the term ends April 23.
Katie Harpstrite, CCO advisory board chair, said there had never been a single director before.

"I think Margaret will be great and the staff will pull together and get the job done," she said.
Beedles' senate seat and other open CLAS seats were replaced last week.
STATE
Kansas governor wants more minority judges
TOPEKA—Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has told judicial nominating commissions she wants to appoint more minority judges. But the first nominees she received after the request were white men.
"The bottom line is this: The Kansas bench should look like Kansas," she said in a letter sent Jan. 23 to several groups, including the Supreme Court Nominating Commission.
The letter was distributed about a month after news reports showed former Gov. Bill Graves filled 55 vacancies on Kansas courts during his eight years in office. All of his appointees were white.
Last week, the Supreme Court Nominating Commission gave Sebelius the names of the three white nominees for an appointment to the Kansas Court of Appeals. Under state law, Sebelius must pick one of those three candidates or give up the selection to the state's chief justice.
Richard Hite of Wichita, chairman of the Supreme Court Nominating Commission, said Friday that he had not yet received Sebelius' letter. But even if he had, Hite said he would have nominated the same three men because they were the most qualified out of 47 applicants.
