FLOWER: Candidate wants more
Flower keeps a pen and copy of her most recent campaign mailer close by when talking about issues. She also wears a State of Kansas crest pin on the lapel of her navy sports coat.
Continued from Page 1A.
Her opponent, Charlie Geist, said he thought Flower was a nice woman but that his experience in multiple fields made him a better candidate for the job.
She said she takes a five-pronged approach to the issues. Schools, welfare, health care, roads and crime are the five subjects she said were the cornerstones of her campaign.
Running For:
House of Representatives for the 47th District
Flower said most people she talked to were generally older and were concerned with the environment their children were growing up in.
"We are working to solve problems from both ends, but the Legislature can only do so much," she said.
Party:
Republican
"Joann does not tackle or take stands on the issues," he said.
JOANN FLOWER
Flower has an associate of arts degree from Colorado Women's College and a bachelor of science degree in nursing from John Hopkins University. She has served as a state representative since 1988 and worked on Sen. Nancy Kassebaum's re-election committee in 1984.
"I work quietly," she said. "I am not a podium-pounding, loud voice, but I get things done."

Police say dentist took his own life
Kansanstaffreport
A 60-year-old Lawrence dentist was found dead Sunday evening from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Lawrence police reported.
Police said they were still investigating the matter, but that all indications led them to believe that Roy B. Figuered Jr. committed suicide.
"Officers recovered the gun at the scene," said Sgt. Rick Nickell of the Lawrence police. "It appears to be a suicide, and there is no indication of foul play."
Nickell said it appeared that Figuered shot himself once in the head with a 38-caliber pistol.
Figureded's daughter first noticed his body about 8 p.m. Sunday when she went to her father's office in the 3100 block of W. Sixth Street, police said. Nickell said she told police she saw her father's body lying on the floor, so she called the police.
HACKNEY: Speaker promotes conversation
Continued from Page 1A.
Muyksen said everyone — especially professors and students in the humanities — should be paying attention to the issues of cultural diversity and American identity.
In an address to the National Press Club last year, Hackney said the recent debate on those issues provided flashy entertainment but few constructive ideas.
"Bombarded by slogans and epithets, points and counterpoints, our thoughts are polarized in the rapid-fire exchange of sound bites," he said in the speech. "Real answers are the casualties of such drive-by debate."
Hackney might even consider himself a casualty of "drive-by" debate.
As president of the University of Pennsylvania, Hackney in 1993 took heat for two separate incidents that drew national attention.
In January, a white student, Eden Jacobowitz, yelled out of his dorm window at a group of Black women, "Shut up, you water buffaloes." Jacobowitz said the term "water
buffalo" was a translation of a Hebrew insult that carried no racial connotations. Jacobowitz was charged with racial harassment, but the women eventually withdrew the complaint.
A few months later, a group of Black student protesters rounded up and destroyed all 14,000 copies of the student newspaper, The Daily Pennsylvanian, because they were upset by the commentary of a conservative student columnist.
The students were not punished, and Hackney was quoted as saying, "Two important university values
— diversity and open expression — seem to be in conflict.
Hackney said the fallout from the incidents had led him to believe that Americans needed a program like National Conversation.
That need, Hackney said, has been growing since the 1960s.
"The 1960s were a cultural divide," he said. "A lot of previously oppressed groups came into the mainstream of American life. All of that is to the good, but we have lost sight of our collective identity."
