Kevin Kane
Graduate Assistant
Kevin Kane, graduate student and former KU football player, has traded a life spent at Memorial Stadium for a life spent at Allen Fieldhouse. No, he is not playing KU basketball; he is giving tours and taking care of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics. Kane took the job when Lew Perkins, Director of Athletics, offered it to him so he could continue his studies at the University.
Kane said Perkins offered him a job for after he graduates in Spring 2006.
"I thought I would stick around a little longer." Kane said.
Kane, as well as giving tours, updates all of the displays and is currently updating a new system in the Hall that allows fans to access information on any player that attended KU. The job allows Kane to learn more about the history of
KU athletics.
"I grew up a Nebraska fan because of my dad," Kane said. "It is fun to be able to learn about all the athletics before I got here."
Kane is doing his graduate work in Strategic Communications, but he wants to work in college athletics administration or be a coach. This job is a stepping stone to living his dream.
Kane works surrounded by KU sports legends and memorabilia. He also can see himself on the football display. His favorite part is being able to talk to the athletes and coaches that pass through occasionally.
"Its great when you get to talk with Max Falkenstein when he passes through." Kane said.

NEW JERSEY ST.FIRE
The Lawrence City Commission received the official data Tuesday from Sunday morning's fatal fire on New Jersey Street.
Mark Bradford, Lawrence fire and medical chief, said it took over 40 hours of work to put out the fire, make the dwelling safe for investigation and retrieve the bodies of those trapped inside. Both on-duty and off-duty personnel had been called in to address the emergency.
Bradford said the investigation should be completed within seven to 14 days.
Fire and medical also received help from out of town emergency personnel including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Topeka fire department's K-9 unit. The ATF was called in for extra manpower and the K-9 unit was used to search for accelerators, Bradford said.
Bradford said the family has received an outpouring of support from the community.
City Commissioner David Schauner said he wanted the city to be able to use the tragedy as way to spread awareness about the need for fire prevention measures in the home.

MIRACLES DO THEY EXIST?
Do they Exist? My secretary's mother was in the hospital. She was down to only 70 pounds in weight and had been losing 1 pound per day for about 45 days. The doctors did not know the cause. They said she had only a few more pounds to lose and her organs would start shutting down. My secretary came to one of our meetings where we laud our hands on her to transfer the power of God to her. We told her mother's body to be healed in the name &
power of Jesus. My secretary went to the hospital, laid her hands on her mother to transfer the power again. The next day her mother started gaining weight. She was dismissed from the hospital in a few days-completely healed.
