Texas athletes under scrutiny in unearned pay probe
A Travis County grand jury will defer further investigation of illegal pay to University of Texas athletes to the school and the NCAA. District Attorney Robert O. Smith says the issue will be reviewed by universities, while Schnabel’s indictment covers theft and official misconduct unrelated to the athletes. The matter centers on unearned pay and use of athletes on state payrolls amid broader calls to tighten rules in the legislature.

Kansas beef outlook bright as 1976 gains loom
Virgil Huseman of the Kansas Livestock Association says 1976 should bring more and better beef as feedlot numbers rise to 1.3 million cattle, up 42 percent from January 1975, with profits improving for feedlot operators though cow calf raisers may still lose money. The report also notes federal funds for Big Hill Reservoir land in Labette County and delays on dam construction by the Army Corps of Engineers. Kansas remains a leading beef state behind Texas, with Iowa and Nebraska gaining ground.
