The Kansan reported George O. Foster, registrar, said grade cards had been ready to be picked up for quite a while. "You have spoken so much concerning students coming and getting their grades that I have come to the conclusion that students do not read the Kansan or do not heed it," Foster said.

Judge's decision cuts off Internet access for Haskell
LAWRENCE — Students at Haskell Indian Nations University and tens of thousands of other students at American Indian schools have found themselves scrambling after a court ruling shut down their Internet access.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ordered the Interior Department to pull the plug on most of its Internet connections, finding that the department still hasn't fixed computer security problems that could jeopardize millions of dollars in royalties for American Indians.
Lambert's order cut off access for about 900 Haskell students, as well as students at Southwest Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque, N.M. Also losing access were most of the 50,000 students who attend elementary, secondary and boarding schools either directly operated by the BIA or funded by the BIA and tribally operated. Affected schools get their Internet services through the Educational Native American Network, which is directed by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Besides being unable to send and receive e-mail and conduct Internet research, Web sites for Haskell and other institutions connected to the Department of Interior also are down.

House panel opens review of GOP school finance plan
Committee began debate yesterday on a $92 million school finance plan offered by the chamber's Republicans, who were far from united on the merits of the proposal.
House Speaker Doug Mays (R-Topeka) and Majority Leader Clay Aurand (R-Courtland) told the committee the plan was a short-term solution to school funding that addressed needs of poor and minority students, while giving districts some flexibility.
"This should not be regarded as a permanent fix in any way," Mays said. "This is something that will get us through to '05, then everything will be on the table."
The committee expects to vote today on the bill.

The plan would allow school districts to increase spending on special-education programs by $40.5 million, but districts would have to reduce or eliminate a property tax break for home owners to get some of the funds.
Panel adds bowling alleys to expanded gambling bill
The bill reflects the governor's proposals for up to five, state-owned "destination" casinos as well as slot machines at dog and horse racing tracks and at 240 private clubs operated
TOPEKA — A Senate committee endorsed Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' gambling proposals yesterday after expanding the legislation to allow slot machines at bowling alleys, driving ranges and some other recreational sites.
by veterans and fraternal organizations. The clubs could have five machines each.
At the request of Sen. Donald Betts (D-Wichita) the Federal and State Affairs Committee added a provision for slot machines at sports or recreational businesses that had been in business at least five years and were already licensed to offer the state's Club Keno lottery game.
Eligible sports-related businesses
Eligible sports-related businesses which might also include those offering such activities as batting cages and go-kart tracks - would be allowed five slot machines each.
allowed Legislative staff said at least 120 bowling alleys would be permitted to have slot machines.
"Everyone else has been included," Betts said in explaining his amendment.
Seth Ribnick, Minneapolis, Minn., junior, had trouble walking a straight line yesterday on Wescoe Beach. Ribnick was wearing Fatal Vision goggles, which simulate what it's like to be drunk, as part of Greeks Advocating Mature Management of Alcohol and Peer Health Educators' Safe Spring Break. "It feels like when you are walking that your vision is off two feet to the right and two feet to the left," Ribnick said.
Under the bill, the state would receive at least 22 percent of the revenues from casinos and 64.5 percent of the revenues from the slot machines at tracks, private clubs and sports businesses.
