Fort Hays begins charging for admission to museum
HAYS—For the first time since it opened in 1967, Historic Fort Hays is charging admission.
Spurred by the state's budget crunch, the site will now charge adults $3, seniors and members of the Kansas State Historical Society $2, and students $1 for admission.
Fort Hays draws about 40,000 visitors a year. Museum administrator Bob Wilhelm believes the fees will hurt numbers at first.
"For so many years the local people around here are familiar with the fact that we don't charge admission," he said. "After a period of time, we expect they'll come back."
In its heyday, Fort Hays was the home of such notables as "Wild Bill" Hickock, "Buffalo Bill" Cody, Gen. Phillip H. Sheridan, Lt. Col. George A. Custer, Col. Nelson Miles and the 9th and 10th Cavalry regiments, better known as the Buffalo Soldiers.

Columbia experienced rise in fuselage heat before crash
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Just before it disintegrated, the space shuttle Columbia experienced a sharp and sudden rise in temperature on its fuselage, NASA said Sunday.
The sharp rise was followed by increased drag on the spacecraft that caused its flight system to adjust its path.
NASA space shuttle program manager Ron Dittemore cautioned that the information was preliminary but said it could suggest that the thermal tiles that are designed to protect the shuttle from burning up during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere were damaged or missing, possibly from an episode earlier in the shuttle's flight.
"We've got some more detective work. But we're making progress inch by inch." Dittemore said.
Dittemore said the engineering data showed a temperature rise of 20 to 30 degrees in the left wheel well of the shuttle about seven minutes before communication was lost with the spacecraft.
There was an even more significant temperature rise—about 60 degrees over five minutes—in the middle left side of the fuselage, he said.
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Today in 1903, Jack Johnson became the first ever Negro Heavyweight Champion. Johnson, who would later go on to become the first ever African-American world-heavyweight champion when he defeated Jim Jeffries in 1908, was a starcrossed figure, whose clashes in the ring with Jeffries sparked race riots. The Texas Legislature later banned footage of the last fight between Jeffries and Johnson, in which Johnson became champion, because they feared further rioting.
Baseball League featured such Negro League legends as Cool Papa Bell and Josh Gibson, as well as future Major League Baseball players Leroy "Satchel" Paige and Jackie Robinson.
On February 3,1920, The Negro National Baseball League was founded. The most successful of dozens of colored baseball leagues, the Negro National
Autherine J. Lucy became the first African-American student attend the University of Alabama today in 1956.
