Chancellor supports budget recommendation by governor
Chancellor Robert Hemenway presented testimony to the Senate Ways and Means Subcommittee yesterday afternoon in support of the governor's budget recommendation.
Accompanied by Provost David Shulenburger and Don Hagen, executive vice chancellor of the KU Medical Center, Hemenway said the overall effect of the proposal was a modest but welcome increase in funding, but he did ask for special consideration for two items he said were not addressed in the proposal.
Hemenway said the proposal disproportionately hurt the KU Medical Center because the campus relied more on state funding than tuition funding and was attempting to create a National Cancer Institute designated center for cancer care and research.

Endowment Association begins new campaign
After raising its initial goal of $500 million, the University of Kansas Endowment Association has raised the bar for KU First: It's the Invest in Excellence campaign, hoping to exceed $600 million in raised funds by the end of the year.
Counting toward the $500 million goal began in 1998, and the Endowment Association met the goal in November 2003. Forrest Hogland, campaign chairman, said there were still great needs for fundraising. He said the priorities for the coming year would include support for scholarships, fellowships and professorships as well as new facilities for academic research and programs.

The man loading the car got in and they drove toward the officer, who moved out of the way and got descriptions of the car and the men.
The department tracked the vehicle to Lynch Court, where the men were arrested.
Sgt. Mike Patrick of the department said it is looking at previous car burglaries in Lawrence and trying to match them to the suspects, but he said it cannot tell anything at this time.

Dr. James Naismith said there had not been a clean game of basketball played at Robinson Gymnasium that season. "The game which is being played this year is not up to the standard which we saw in the gym two years ago. Basketball at KU has degenerated in to mere slugging matches quite frequently," Naismith said. "The rules absolutely prohibit any personal contact."

KU Provost James Surface ruled that persons not authorized by the "Chancellor or his designated representative" were prohibited from carrying firearms on campus.
