Racial unrest sparks cross burn near Cloud County campus
A cross was burned near Cloud County Community College less than 24 hours after a Concordia High School student was seriously injured in a private residence fight. Monroe Aldridge, 19, a black Cloud County student, faces two counts of aggravated battery. Jeff Burchfiel, 19, a white Concordia youth, was treated and released. Curfew was ordered by Mayor Bombardier as college and high school officials plan campus discussions on responsibility and student interaction.

KDHE split on hold as panel waits for Harder’s study
A Kansas legislative committee will not act on dividing the Department of Health and Environment. It will await the study by new KDHE secretary Robert D. Harder, who replaced Azzie Young, with Gov. Finney backing the plan. Harder formed separate teams to consider health and environment divisions and aims for end of January or early February recommendations. He noted doctors are needed for the medical director post and said the salary would likely be 110000 to 125000 dollars.

Election audit wins backing of Graves
Secretary of State Bill Graves endorses a Legislative Post Audit review of county election practices to show the limits of his office. The audit by the Division of Post Audit will run to year end, covering absentee ballot handling across 105 counties and how voter registrations are purged.
