At the Kansas conference on Slavery and Human Trafficking, Gov. Sam Brownback said he hopes Kansas becomes a national leader in the fight against slavery and human trafficking.
Gov. Brownback co-sponsored the two-day conference with several other organizations last Thursday and Friday in the Kansas Union. The conference included the
keynote speaker Kevin Bales on Thursday, who is considered to be one of the world's foremost experts on modern slavery.
Participants were also given the chance to split into groups to discuss different aspects of human trafficking.
"Kevin Bales really challenged
Law student Doug Coe said he came to the conference because he has been passionate about the topic of modern day slavery for a number of years. He said shaking hands with Bales was a highlight of the conference.
Allison Colburn, senior from Manhattan, said she was drawn to the conference because she has always been interested in the subject and is traveling to Dubai in a month to learn more about human trafficking of women.

me in a lot of ways to start thinking of ways we can address the issue from an academic standpoint as well as from
the front lines," Coe said. "I was always more about the front lines type of work and his speech really made me think."
In his presentation, Bales said he thinks modern day slavery can be ended. However, he calls for unified action before this can become reality.

Fort Hays State newspaper discontinues print edition

HAYS, Kan.-The student newspaper at Fort Hays State University has halted its print edition after its funding was slashed.
"We can't publish," said Molly Walter, editor-in-chief of the newspaper, called the University Leader. "There's no funds."
The Hays Daily News reports that the Student Government Association voted last spring to cut funding to $19,750 from $32,250. Student government
leaders mentioned readership as an issue.
The last print issue was published Thursday. For the foreseeable future, the student journalists will produce news online only.
In 2003, the Student Government Association also pulled the plug on funding for the Reveille, the university's yearbook.
Larry Gould, the university's provost and chief academic officer, said the university doesn't want to eliminate the Leader, but "wanted it tied back into academic affairs."
Before 2003, the Leader was a recognized student organization overseen by student affairs. Students working on the newspaper could enroll in a one-hour lab class run through the communication department and
earn academic credit, said Linn Ann Huntington, professor and director of journalism.
Huntington served as Leader
adviser from 1990 until 2003, when the Leader lab was taken out of the academic program and became "just an excurac-

no connection to the academic program since that time," Huntington said.
"It has been a free-standing program with
together a task force to discuss what should happen next. Gould said he's looking forward to the process of crafting a "better education experience" for students.
University officials are putting
Meanwhile, the Leader staff is requesting $75,000 for the upcoming school year and would like to bring the publication back in the fall, Walter said.
Until the early 1940s, only unmarried women were admitted to the University's nursing school, and they had to remain single until they completed the program.
