Gov Sam Brownback vetoes funding for the Kansas Arts Commission leaving it without staff or state funds by July 1 and prompting fears of 200 local arts groups losing support. A private Kansas Arts Foundation is to take over but faces funding and governance questions as NEA funding may be at risk. Time will tell if the plan sustains the arts in Kansas.

Nice Girls Don't Explode planned for Lawrence shoot
Kansas University graduate Doug Curtis and production coordinator John Wells visited Lawrence to scout locations and begin casting for the quirky comedy Nice Girls Don't Explode. Meanwhile, a youthful discovery near Lawrence revealed a metal box containing marijuana, pipes, blades, and a leather pouch after it was forced open by four boys under a bridge. A separate report notes a burglary in the residence district of Lawrence, where C E Friend’s home on Mass Avenue was robbed of about $60 in property overnight while an electric light burned.
