Diane Silver said a planned gift was a donation that was part of a person's estate planning. She said the endowment association would not immediately receive the funds from a planned gift. Instead, the donation would be received and used after the death of the people who set up the gift.

STATE West Nile virus still lingers in Kansas
TOPEKA — Kansas health officials said the state has had four confirmed cases and one probable case of the West Nile virus this year.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said yesterday that an 82-year-old Douglas County resident had a confirmed case and a 61-year-old Douglas County resident has a probable case.
Both had onset of symptoms in late August. The agency declined to reveal additional
information about the people.
The other cases this year include a 28-year-old Johnson County resident, a 51-year-old Douglas County resident and a 40-year-old Rice County resident.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that as of Sept. 6,821 human cases of West Nile virus have been reported in 32 states,with 18 deaths.
Last year, 2,535 human cases and 98 deaths were reported to CDC, with western states hit the hardest. During the past six years, West Nile has been confirmed in every state except Alaska and Hawaii.
KDHE confirmed 66 human cases and two deaths in the state last year, compared to 90 human cases and seven deaths in 2003. No deaths have been reported this year.
This is the fourth year the virus has been found in Kansas, and the sixth in the United States.
