I was seven years old when we brought Millie home. She already knew how to pee in the grass and demand a tummy rub like any well-spoiled dog should. Though her stubby legs were only a few inches long, Millie walked around the house and gallivanted through the neighborhood as if she were a queen. She was a Welsh corgi after all, the royal dog of England.
But Millie's previous home was no palace. My family rescued her from a local pound. I remember making our way through the narrow walkway of caged animals as their piercing cries bombarded me from both sides. At the end of the walkway was a room with animals that were to be executed soon. The chubby corgi was to be killed the next day, and we couldn't let that happen. Millie then became a new member of our family.
As a child, Millie was the perfect play companion. I'm assuming this is strange behavior for kids and their pets, but we would play dress up together. When the weather was nice, I would dress her up in my swimsuit and sunglasses and run around
the backyard with her.
As we both got older, our lifestyles matured (a bit) and she continued to be my loyal companion. Whenever I would stay up late doing homework, Millie would be there to keep my feet warm. Whenever I would spend time in front of the tube, Millie would be there to cuddle with me. Whenever I would take Millie on a walk, her little legs would match my fast pace — until she could find a puddle. There she would plop, ever so nobly, while I waited on her Majesty to cool off. Once a queen, always a queen.
A photo of Millie in her bikini glory still hangs on my family's refrigerator. Long live the queen.
Millie now sits on her royal throne in doggy heaven, but these memories will never leave me. My family gave her a whole new life she almost didn't have. I hope we gave her as much joy as she gave us.
But taking care of a pet isn't all about the joys of puppy love. Pets require a lot of time, money and attention, especially for college students. To find out if you're ready for a new furry friend in your life, check out Lindsey's story on page 8. Make sure to take the story's advice and adopt from a local shelter. (Tease: The story has lots of cute pictures of dogs and cats. You want to take a look.)

The Student Senate finance committee proposed cutting all funding from the required campus fees to four community health services - the Douglas County AIDS Project,
By Thursday, dozens of students had expressed their disapproval of the measure.

- Funding cuts are coming from federal and state levels — even if student contributions are relatively small, every little bit helps, especially in preparation for Gov. Brownback's proposed budget, which cuts state funding to community mental health centers completely

The self-destruction of the balloon will release the parachute, as it returns to earth. GeoHawk team member Ryan Callihan, a graduate student from Lenexa, said the team would track the vehicle's entire flight, but could not predict the landing exactly.

Take a look at the sky on April 8 and you just might see a balloon flying over Lawrence. They call it Project GeoHawk, an assignment in Geography 726, Remote Sensing II.
icummings@kansan.com
A team of 18 geography students is preparing to build and launch a weather balloon 20 miles into the sky.
Weather permitting, the balloon will lift off from one of several possible launch sites on public land around the city. As the balloon rises, the camera will take hundreds of pictures of Lawrence and Douglas County. The students will use the balloon's flight data for several research projects on remote sensing, mapping, image processing and the effects of high-alitude on photography. Because the mission depends on obtaining good photographs,
The balloon will expand in response to the decreasing air pressure as it rises, and the team expects it to pop at about 100,000 feet.
"The cameras worked great," said Kelly Miller, a senior from Waterloo, Ill. "If we can get that quality from the flight it will be amazing."
some team members boarded an airplane on Thursday for a test flight, removing one of the aircraft's windows to experiment with a variety of camera settings and lenses.
The entire apparatus will be about 23 feet long, with the balloon measuring four feet wide and six feet tall, pulling a tail strung with a parachute, radar reflectors and two boxes of electronic equipment. The equipment, which includes GPS trackers, will measure internal and external temperatures, air pressure and the orientation of the contraption. A camera will dangle from the end, pointed downward,
Kansas City."
Miller said that the vehicle, along with its data, could be destroyed if it lands in Clinton Lake or on Interstate 70. She said Olympus, the camera manufacturer that lent the students two Flagship E-5 cameras, also accepts that possibility and had been promised copyright of any images taken with their equipment.
