CLARIFICATION
The June 16 headline "Boot Camp numbers down" incorrectly implied that the Boot Camp class was struggling to find interested students. The class has fewer participants in the summer because fewer students are on campus.

OBITUARY
Maj. Darryl Priest, a student in KU's master's program in interagency studies at the Special Operations Command in Ft. Leavenworth, died June 16.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray- Little released the following statement today:
"On behalf of the entire university community, I extend my deepest sympathy and condolences to Maj. Priest's wife and son, family and friends. This is a staggering loss of a bright young man who excelled in his studies here. We all salute his heroic service and dedication to our country and mourn his untimely passing."
Priest, 34, earned a bachelor's at Alabama A&M University in Huntsville. He served in the U.S. Army for 10 years as an infantry platoon leader, logistics planner and a psychological operations team leader. He had one tour of duty in Kuwait and three deployments to Iraq between 2003 and 2009.
Funeral services are scheduled for 10 a.m. June 23 at the Jackson Memory Funeral Home in Town Creek, Ala. A memorial service at the Fort Leavenworth chapel also will be held at a later date.
