Recall election tomorrow for Horton commissioners
HORTON — The small town of Horton has scheduled a recall election for tomorrow in an effort by some disgruntled residents to oust the mayor and finance commissioner, who are accused of incompetence.
Citizens have requested the recall for a number of reasons. Some residents say they are upset that an intangibles tax that was previously levied on their property has been removed.
Some citizens also say that they are upset with the power supply contract which city officials negotiated with Kansas Power and Light Co.
The two officials who are the subject of the recall are Mayor James Envart and Finance Commissioner, Joseph Montes.
In November, petitions for the election were presented to the Brown County clerk, accusing Enyart and Montes of "incompetence in position."
Med Center receives $95,000 grant
The Kansas University Endowment Association has received a $95,000 grant for cancer research at the University of Kansas Medical Center from the John W. and Eiffe E. Speas Memorial Trust.
The trust will finance four one-year projects by Med Center scientists.
Med Center officials said they hoped the projects would receive more funds from the National Institute of Health and other national agencies.
The grant will finance studies into how genes function in normal and malignant cells and how food functions as a cancer preventative. The grant will also provide funds to help develop antibodies that will aid in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
The John W. and Eiffe E. Speas Memorial Trust was established in 1943 by Victor Speas in honor of his parents. Victor Speas, a native of Kansas City, Mo., headed a vinegar manufacturing business in Kansas City.
Legislature will consider old issues
TOPEKA — The Legislature this week will take on two issues the state has been grappling with for years — a classification proposal to mitigate any tax shift caused by property reappraisal and the Filled Dairy Products Act.
The House Assessment and Taxation Committee is to tackle a controversial classification measure that would allow the state to assess different types of property at different levels for taxation purposes.
The House Agriculture and Livestock Coramittee will consider a bill that would repeal the 1927 Kansas Filled Dairy Products Act, found unconstitutional last year by the Kansas Supreme Court.

Many University of Kansas instructors are leery of a proposed grade appeals board that would strip them of their exclusive right to change grades. A student member of the subcommittee that drafted the original proposal said Friday that he understood those concerns.
By JENNY BARKER Staff Reporter
"They're speaking with honest convictions — they firmly believe it's a faculty member's prelogative to change a grade. Frankly, I agree. But every once in a while we get a bad apple in the faculty. Most of the faculty will never have to worry about all of this. We're a very special member of the Organization and Administration subcommittee that drafted a provisional last year.

Schneider said that Student Senate members of the University Council
But Schneider said students didn't want the board to be an easy way to get a grade changed.
Training program for a managerial career position with Allen & O'Hara Developments, Inc., a national, full-service real estate firm. Experience in residential student housing preferred; an undergraduate degree in business or related field would be recommended.
"We don't want it to get to the point where hundreds of grades are going to be changed a year," Schneider said.
Schneider said the faculty needed to know that the proposal would not make grade changes.
But Schneider said, "I don't think the faculty is opposed to it — I just think they're unsure of what's going to happen.
"The counseling will tell the students that a grad appeal is a very serious failure."
Under the proposal, students could appeal a grade to the board only after seeking grade changes from the course instructor and from the dean or chairman of the department. If that approval is given, we have to go through a counseling period.

James Sevier, chairman of University Council and director of the KU Western Civilization program, has said that some faculty members would fight the proposal because an appeals board has requested the director's exclusive right to change a grade.
"I think the faculty can see a need for the concept. I think they're more afraid of it."
Under current policy, only an instructor may change a grade, unless he dies, is incapacitated or is found guilty of sexual harassment or academic misconduct. The proposed appeals board would have the power to change the grade after the student had failed to settle the dispute with the instructor.

STUDENT SENATE representatives to the University Council will have a chance to present their point of view to the Senate. They will attend 22 meeting of the University Council.
"I don't think it's a lost cause," Schneider said of the proposal. "I think there's a very good chance of it getting through."
JAMES CAROTHERS, chairman of SenEx, has said that some faculty members are worried that many students might unnecessarily appeal
SENEX DECIDED Feb. 15 to send the idea of a grade appeals board to the University Council to determine whether faculty members of the Council would support the creation of any type of appeals board
We will contact you regarding a personal interview.
"You've got to strike a happy balance. An instructor's right to give a grade here has been sacred."

Diet Facts & Fallacies
ELIMINATE THE NEGATIVE
Like the body, the mind must also be fed right in order to function properly. We must constantly feed our minds a healthful diet of positive thoughts and uplifting ideas.
It is easy to clutter the mind by programming negative information into it. Negative thoughts, such as rejection, jealousy, hate or anger, can overwhelm the things that can cluster the mind and even cause depression.
One of the first steps to actually feeling happy is to act and think as if you are happy. It is as easy to
pull a pleasant thought from your mind as it is an unpleasant one. When you find yourself thinking negative thoughts, decide immediately to think about something positive that has made you happy instead of letting the negative take over.
Let us teach you how to keep your mind and body healthy.
