Kansan cameras give FFA a facelift
The University Daily Kansan wants to know what's on students' minds.
The Kansan is starting a new program called "Your Say," giving any student who wants to participate one minute of camera time. During this minute, students will be able to talk about anything they want: on-campus issues, things that drive them nuts, anything and everything that comes to their minds. Kansan staff will watch the segments and upload them onto Kansan.com. Think of it as a live, on-camera version of the Free For All.
The first station will be set up
EDUCATION
School of Medicine plans site in Salina
today from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. outside the Underground. Come check it out, and have "Your Say".
The KU School of Medicine will open a four-year program in Salina, the school announced Tuesday.
The new site will be funded by a $75,000 donation from Russell doctor Earl Merkel and his wife, Kathleen, and by a $225,000 gift from the Salina Regional Health Foundation.
Ninety of Kansas' 105 counties were medically under-served.
Barbara Atkinson, executive vice chancellor of the KU Medical Center and executive dean of the KU School of Medicine, said in a news release.
"This generous support from Dr. and Mrs. Merkel and the Salina Regional Health Foundation will help us meet our goal of easing the severe shortage of primary care physicians in rural Kansas." Atkinson said in the release.
The Merkels have also endowed a scholarship for KU medical students from western Kansas.
"We're glad to see that western Kansas has been recognized as an area of
medical need." Merkel said in the release. "The KU School of Medicine site in Salina seems like a good way to get students and hopefully, later, more physicians out here in this area."
Heidi Chumley, senior associate dean for medical education at the KU Medical Center, said the Salina program would admit students from rural areas.
"I look at this as a pilot program," Chumley said in the release. "Hopefully, 10 to 20 years from now, this will lead to similar programs being established farther into western Kansas."

Dole awards $50,000 for spinal research
The University of Kansas Hospital and KU Medical Center announced Monday the establishment of the Senator Bob Dole Endowed Professorship in Spine Outcomes Clinical Research.
Dole made a $50,000 contribution to the Marc A. Asher, MD, Comprehensive Spine Center at KU Hospital, in addition to his $150,000 donation in 2009 to fund the professorship.
The committee of the spine center requested that the donation be used to establish a KU School of Medicine professorship to lead a program of research in techniques for spine care.
Dole was a premedical student at the University from 1941 to 1943, when he enlisted in the Army to serve in World War II. During the war he was hit by a German machine gun in his upper right back, causing a spinal injury that affected his extremities.
"Iam certainly proud to see the professorship established, and honored to have it in my name, though I know there are others more deserving." Dole said in the press release. "I've had an interest in spinal injuries since my spinal cord was damaged in World War II, which has made me acutely aware of how important this effort will be."
