MUSIC
Michelle Branch to sing at the Lied Center tonight
Student Union Activities is sponsoring tonight's concert, in which Michelle Branch will perform at the Lied Center.
Doug Brady, Topeka sophomore and live music coordinator for SUA, said the live music committee wanted to bring a female
artist to campus. Although SUA brings a different artist each fall and spring, the majority during the past few years had been male
The committee sent a list of potential artists to an agent after polling students and receiving input from the SUA board. They selected Branch after learning she was touring and available.
Brady said Branch was an artist students would recognize from
when they were younger.
"It's kind of like a walk down memory lane." Brady said.
Branch is currently working on her third solo album, "Everything Comes and Goes."The album is expected to be released by the end of the year.
Tom Johnson, advisor for the live music committee, said Suzannah Johannes, a local singer and songwriter, would open the show.
"Her style of music is an interesting simultaneous compliment and contrast to Michelle Branch's music, and is an incredible local talent," Johnson said.
The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $10 during office hours at SUA or for $12 at the Lied Center box office before the show.
ODD NEWS Elvis museum posted for sale on eBay
Brandy Entsminger
ST. LOUIS — The Elvis Is Alive Museum is once again for sale on eBay.
The museum's owner, Andy Key of Mississippi, said military duties would keep him away from home for at least five months.
The 39-year-old Key set a minimum starting bid of $15,000 on the listing, which ends Friday. He bought the museum on eBay last year for $8,300.
Key told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he hopes someone local buys the contents of the museum and continues running it in Hattiesburg, Miss.
The collection includes photographs, books, FBI files, DNA reports and other memorabilia that aim to support the theory that Elvis never died.
Bill Beeny, a Baptist minister who founded the museum in 1990 in Missouri, said he had no plans to buy it back.

Land lubber judge: Ship is a beauty; tear it down
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The front yard of a house in a British Columbia neighborhood is a little less welcoming for pirates now.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia
Architect Andrew Dewberry and a crew of friends spent Saturday dismantling the pirate ship tree house he's had in his Vancouver yard for two years. He said he had no choice after a court ordered it to be removed for not
complying with city bylaws.
Dewberry had to explain the situation to his sons Jack, 9, and Sam, 7, before the tree house came down. He said, "They've had a lot of joy with the tree fort."
Jack, who stood with a friend and watched the dismantling, said, "We wanted to sleep in it over the summer one time, but we didn't get around to it and now we can't."
The judge in the case admired the workmanship of the ship, complete with plastic cannons, in a perch $6\frac{1}{2}$ feet up a large, leafy tree in front of the family's home. But the judge said its merits were irrelevant to whether the tree house violated city bylaws.

What do you think?
WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT SEX ON THE HILL?
BY HANNAH VICK
MONIKA HARPER
Wichita sophomore
"I thought it was a little more provocative this year than it was last year, and it made a lot of people uncomfortable. It needs to be toned down a little bit, because not everyone wants to see things like that in the Kansan."
DELANEY STOUT Wichita freshman
"I thought it was borderline inappropriate for a newspaper, but for a campus newspaper it wasn't as inappropriate. But it was definitely shocking."
CARRINGTON DEAN Wichita senior
"It was pretty informative, but as a freshman, you know how everything goes anyways."
BOB SCALISE
Olathe junior
"I don't think the school should be publishing it because it is so graphic, but we shouldn't just ignore it. Sex is on every student's mind, so I think it should be addressed, but more formally."
