Where is the highest point in Kansas?
The absolute highest point in Kansas is called Mt. Sunflower at 4,039 feet, although it's really more of a hill. While our hills out here in Lawrence are pretty tall, Mt. Sunflower beats them simply because of its high elevation out near Goodland, along the Colorado border. Kansas slopes upward as you travel west.
Clinton library opens in Little Rock
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Bill Clinton opened his library Thursday with a rock 'n' roll gala that hailed the $165 million glass-and-steel museum as "a gift to the future by a man who always believed in the future."
Despite a steady, bone-chilling rain, nearly 30,000 people joined a celebration that included tributes from President Bush, his father and former President Carter. Rock stars Bono and The Edge of the band U2 performed a three-song set before Clinton spoke to a crowd that included dignitaries and
"The story that began in a little house on Hervey Street in Hope, Arkansas, inspires people from every background all over America," President Bush said of Clinton's rise from small-town beginnings to the White House.
ordinary folk. Poetry and gospel singing added a down-home flavor.
The William J. Clinton Presidential Center is a sleek, futuristic complex that contains more than 80 million items from the former president's life. The library celebrates eight years of peace and prosperity and dismisses his impeachment as a Republican vendetta.
The 27-acre complex is cantilevered
out over the Arkansas River — an allusion to Clinton's desire to build a "bridge to the 21st century."
"What it is to me is a symbol of not only what I tried to do but what I want to do with the rest of my life, building bridges from yesterday to tomorrow, building bridges across racial and religious and ethnic income and political divides," said Clinton, 58, accompanied by his wife and daughter.
"I want young people to want to see not only what I did with my life but to see what they could do with their lives," he said, "because this is mostly the story of what we the people can do when we
work together."
Bush called the library "a gift to the future by a man who always believed in the future, and today we thank him for loving and serving America."
A number of celebrities traveled to Little Rock for the opening, including actors Kevin Spacey and Robin Williams, and Democrats John Kerry and Al Gore, Clinton's vice president.
Clinton pointed out that during the eight years he and Gore led the country, the nation reduced the national debt and reformed the military while also reducing poverty and making college accessible to more people.

Auction tonight to benefit meningitis victim and family
Instead of heading to the bars this Saturday, students can purchase their own dates for the evening.
The Scholarship Hall Leadership Development Program is holding a date auction Saturday night in the Kansas Room on Level 5 of the Kansas Union. The auction starts at 7:30.
All the money made in the auction will be donated to the Marso Fund, said Richard Zayas, Smithville, Mo., sophomore and program crew leader. The fund provides financial support to Andy Marso, a University of Kansas graduate who contracted meningitis last spring.
Though the auction has been advertised mainly in the scholarship halls, it is open to all students, Zayas said.
The Leadership Development Program has held a date auction for at least the past two years, Zayas said.
The program raised $1,200 last year.

NEW YORK — The body of rapper O.D.B. returned Thursday to the borough of his youth as family and friends, including Grammy-winning singer Mariah Carey and fellow Wu-Tang Clan member Method Man, gathered for a Brooklyn funeral remembering one of hip-hop's most original characters.
O. D.B., whose real name was Russell Jones, collapsed and died Saturday inside a Manhattan recording studio. The cause remained undetermined, but the 35-year-old co-founder of the seminal rap group Wu-Tang Clan had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction.
Family members mingled outside the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn before entering the church, where the late rapper's body lay inside a half-open casket bestrewn with flowers. More than a dozen standing floral arrangements flanked the casket.
