The Senate Assessment and Taxation committee yesterday approved a tobacco tax that would provide funds for higher education.
The bill, introduced by State Sen. Dick Bond, R-Overland Park, would increase the cigarette tax by 5 cents and would increase the tax on other tobacco products by 5 percent.
Because of cuts proposed by Gov. Mike Hayden, Bond amended the bill, allowing the money to be spent for other higher education purposes as well as the Margin.
The bill originally would have provided $12 million for the Margin of Excellence. The Board of Regents requested $16.7 million for the final year of the Margin program.
The Margin is the Board of Regents three-year plan to bring the total financing of its seven institutions to 95 percent of their peer schools and to bring faculty salaries to 100 percent of their peers.
NOR-INJURY ACCIDENT: There were no injuries in a one-car accident
near Marvin Hall last night, police said.
A two-door black-and-orange 1979 Mercury that was eastbound on Jayhawk Boulevard went out of control between Hoch Auditorium and Marvin Hall about 10:50 last night, witnesses said. The car spun off the road into the south sidewalk and hit a 'tree'.
KU police Sgt. Randy Kearn said the two men involved in the accident were juveniles and therefore could not be identified. No damage estimate was available.
"The Mercury was trying to pass a KU security jeep, when apparently the driver saw another car coming in the other direction," said the witness, who declined to be identified.
Anna Corbett, St. Louis senior, said that she was in the architecture studio at Marvin Hall's third floor when seh heard the crash.
It took a while for Corbett and her friends to look outside. "We hear things all the time, but we never turn around," she said.
Groundhog legend steeped in tradition
The Associated Press
PUNXSUWAney, Pa. — Doubts beware. Like other weather lore, Punxusuawney Phil, the United States' best-known and best-knew woodchuck, isn't entirely hogwash, according to folklorists.
"A great many folk beliefs have a certain logic behind them. It may not be scientifically verifiable, but they're often not completely random, and I think this is one of them," said Erika Brady, assistant professor of folk studies at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green.
"We're always kind of taking a look at folk wisdom to see if there is some basis in fact for it," agreed Tim Clark, executive editor of The Old Farmer's Almanac. "The lasting lesson is not to underestimate our ancestors. They were not dumb people."
At sunrise today, fat, furry Punxutawney Phil was pulled from a manmade burrow atop Gobbler of about a mile outside Punxutawney.
According to tradition, if a groundhog sees his shadow today, there will be six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't, spring is just around the corner.
"If you're a groundhog or a person and you come out of your warm, snug haven that you've made for the winter and get fooled by the sunlight into thinking it's spring, you're going to be in trouble," Clark said. "So it
The legend actually has roots in Christianity. Groundhog Day falls on Feb. 2, which also is the Christian holiday of Candlemas. Candlemas was when the infant Jesus first was taken to the temple. An old Scottish couplet claims: "If Candlemas be fair, there'll be two winters in the year."
says the groundhog is not fooled."
Punxsutawney's German-born farmers borrowed the legend, and on Feb. 2, 1887, began turning to local woodchucks for a clue to the upcoming weather.
ng weather. Groundhogs, part of the rodent family, usually hibernate from about December until April. They sometimes venture out early if the weather is mild.
"Phil's never been wrong," boasted Jim Means, 66, club president and member of the exclusive Inner Circle.
The Punxusatwaney Groundhog Club heralds Phil as the seer of seers, sage of sages, weather prophet extraordinaire. Phil has predicted an early spring nine times over the past century. The last time was in 1988.

Actually, the 14 local businessmen in the Inner Circle decide the forecast well in advance. The group even holds rehearsals before Groundhog Day, when members don top hats and tails and join about 1,500 people gathered in the dark atop Gobbler's Knob.
