Daniel M. Mayeux, a faculty member of the KU Office of Design and Construction Management, passed away at his home April 15. The cause of death has not been released.
Mayeux was born Dec. 15, 1957,
in Bad Hersfeld, Germany.
His parents were Donald and Sally
Ann Elizabeth Mayeux. His father was a U.S. Army serviceman stationed in Germany, and his family moved to the U.S. after his birth.
Mayex lived in Elizabethtown, Ky., until he joined the Army in 1978. He was an enlisted private first class metal worker. He earned the name of Marksman while he was stationed at Fort Sill, Okla., and was honorably discharged in 1979.
The University Facilities and Operations hired Mayeux in 1990. He worked in the electrical shop then transferred to the construction shop. He joined the KU Construction group, which was formed in 2012, where he worked

Mayeux
worked with Mayeux for more than 15 years. He said Mayeux was very entertaining and a good worker. He said Mayeux made work easier for some people because he was light hearted.
"He was a happy-go-lucky guy," Rawlings said. "He would shrug things off that would bother others."
"The people miss him not being around now." Rawlings said.
First thing in the morning Mayeux would spark interesting conversation and set a good mood for everyone, Rawlings said.
Mayeux is predeceased by parents Donald and Sally Ann Elizabeth Mayeux, his wife and brother-in-law, whose names are unknown. Mayeux is survived by his stepson Quentin J. Wedge, sister Starlene Smith and aunt Louise Pennewell.

Metal aircraft part from 9/11 believed to be from wing
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The rusted metal aircraft part believed to be from one of the hijacked jetliners that slammed into the World Trade Center in the Sept. 11 attacks came from a wing, not landing gear, police said Monday.
The 5-foot piece is a trailing edge flap support structure, police said. It is located closer to the body of the plane and helps secure wing flaps that move in and out and aid in regulating plane speed. Investigators initially thought it was part of the landing gear because both pieces have similar-looking hydraulics.
Boeing officials told police the part came from one of its 767 airliners, but it isn't possible to determine which flight. Both hijacked planes that struck the towers, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were Boeing 767s. American and United had no comment.
Workers discovered the part Wednesday on the ground in a silver of space between a luxury
loft rental building and a mosque that in 2010 prompted virulent national debate about Islam and freedom of speech in part because it's near the trade center site. Other World Trade Center wreckage has been discovered at the buildings and around the area in years past.
Police documented the debris with photos. The twisted metal part — jammed in an 18-inch-wide, trash-laden passageway between the buildings — has cables and levers on it and is about 5 feet high, 17 inches wide and 4 feet long.
An inspector on the roof of the mosque site, which is under construction, noticed the debris and then called 911.
The piece was found with ropes that aren't believed be part of the plane. Police are trying to determine whether someone had tried to lower the piece off the roof at some point in the past, and the ropes snapped or the piece became stuck. There's no indication that the part was planted in the space, said Paul Browne.
chief spokesman for the New York Police Department.
Of the nearly 3,000 victims of the trade center attacks, remains of about 1,000 were never recovered, and sitting the site for possible human remains was to begin Tuesday morning, said the chief medical examiner's spokeswoman, Ellen Borakove. It's not clear how long the process would take, she said.
The area first will be tested as part of a standard health and safety evaluation for possible toxicity, Borakove said.
Police said the part would be moved to a more secure location likely later this week, where a determination will be made about where it will go permanently. In the past, such pieces have been treated as historical artifacts. For example, the New York State Museum in Albany has its collection a large landing gear piece that fell through the roof to the basement at the same location. It was placed there in 2002.
STATE
Committees solve budget differences
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas legislative committees are taking separate paths in trying to solve differences over the state's 2014 budget, and both chambers are hoping to make quick work of lingering issues when lawmakers return to the Statehouse next week.
The House Appropriations Committee met Monday to review spending adjustments required by bills already signed in to law and to receive an update on state revenue estimates. Chairman Marc Rhoades said any decisions made to approve about two dozen spending requests would be included in what he and two other negotiators discuss with Senate counterparts next week.
Rhoades, a Newton Republican, said House leaders didn't want to delay the process by drafting new bills to be debated if talks were still open on the $14 billion state budget.
"They want to get agreements on the budget and taxes and go home." he said.
The Senate, whose budget committee met last Thursday, plans to
have a separate catch-all spending bill on its calendar when it returns, which would have to go to the House for debate.
Rep. Jerry Henry, a Cummins Democrat, said he didn't understand why the house wouldn't want to another spending bill to consider and why GOP leaders would want to limit debate.
"Why do we have a fear of sending a bill to the floor of the people's house," Henry said.
One of the biggest obstacles in the budget talks is how to treat higher education. The House proposes a 4 percent cut in spending while the Senate is seeking a 2 percent reduction.
Both are at odds with Republican Gov. Sam Brownback who has been touring the state urging lawmakers to spare higher education from any cuts. He's asking them to endorse his proposal to keep the state's sales tax rate at 6.3 percent instead of letting fall to 5.7 percent as scheduled in July, giving Kansas about $258 million more in revenue.
Brownback has said he prefers legislators settle the tax negotiations before finalizing the budget.
