EU distinguished architecture professor Marvin Dan Rockhill says Studio 804 laid the foundation for the Marvin addition before Christmas, faced permit delays and cold weather, and shifted to shop work while awaiting a frame permit. The project is Studio 804’s largest in 20 years, with students fabricating doorknobs and rails as concrete elements are ready.

Brownback presses tax cuts as Kansas eyes budget gap
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback defends tax cuts amid a projected decline in state reserves. He cites a 5.1 percent November unemployment and signs of housing and rural gains while critics, including Paul Davis, warn revenue projections show strain. Analysts predict reserves shrink to 326 million by 2015, risking further cuts or reversal of tax cuts to balance the budget. A committee reviews all day kindergarten funding and campus salary restorations, while Brownback argues the investments will raise reading scores and break poverty cycles.
