Homosexual marriage ban bill revived by legislative leaders
TOPEKA—Legislative leaders yesterday resurrected a proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would ban gay marriage and prevent the state from granting any other legal recognition to same-sex couples.
Those leaders took the unusual step of appointing negotiators from each chamber to draft a final version of the proposed amendment, even though the Senate rejected it a month ago.
In early March, the House adopted a proposed constitutional amendment both banning gay marriage and preventing the state from granting legal recognition — or even granting benefits normally associated with marriage — to same-sex couples.
"I think the marriage amendment is going to find new life," said Sen. Derek Schmidt (R-Independence) one of the negotiators appointed yesterday.

WICHITA — An advertisement to conduct academic research for $20 an hour, which appeared in the Wichita State University student newspaper, has created a "furor" among professors who said the practice violated the school's honor code.

Since the ads were published, White said, she had received two or three inquiries daily for her $20-an-hour service.
Glen Sharp, the editor of The Sunflower, said his newspaper would have rejected the ad had it offered to write papers for a fee.

He provided few details but said more tanks and armored personnel carriers were requested by the Army's 1st Infantry Division in north-central Iraq and the Marine Corps units operating in the Sunni Triangle west and north of Baghdad, including the city of Falluiah.
