Medical marijuana still illegal in Kansas
The Kansas Court of Appeals ruled that marijuana obtained legally in another state remains illegal in Kansas and bringing it into the state can be prosecuted. The ruling, in the case of Colorado resident Troy James Cooper stopped in central Kansas, does not affect his existing acquittal. It offers guidance for law enforcement and courts as more states legalize marijuana.

Classic Jayhawk sculpture gets sturdier for campus fame
KU Memorial Unions staff unveil a reinforced Classic Jayhawk to endure years of climbing and playful roughhousing. The third edition, due this month, features a hollow interior replaced with three tons of concrete and steel and an anchored three foot deep foundation. The iconic statue, in front of the Kansas Union since 2003, originated from a Jayhawks on Parade fundraiser and remains a beloved campus landmark.

Capitol briefing outlines Kansas higher education cuts
Republican budget plans in the Kansas House and Senate target higher education with across the board 4 percent reductions totaling about 29.2 million and wage caps. KU funding would drop nearly 10 million under one House plan, placing state funding below 2006 levels. Senate plans propose a 2 percent cut, halving the KU Cancer Center funding and trimming 10 million from Gov Brownback’s proposed KU Medical Center health education building. The cuts align with revenue reductions from a proposed state income tax cut, while Lt Gov Colyer Nobel laureate Merton and ex-Senator Bradley testify in support of the state.
