Chalmers Seeks Restore Education Funds At KU Hearings
Kansas University Chancellor Laurence Chalmers urged the restoration of funds to support faculty salaries, classified staff, and campus operations as he led the regents through budget hearings with Gov. Docking and Budget Director Bibb. He warned continued faculty losses without adequate money and pressed for restoration of $61,000 for staffing new campus buildings and $126,000 to free research overhead for the EU Computation Center. He argued that cuts threaten joint state and university programs, including the statewide extension and general research funding, while costs rise.

Horsepower Fills His Bill in Gann Valley
78-year-old George Bridge keeps doctor appointments by riding a saddle horse for a 50 mile round trip twice a month. In November he traveled in a team and covered wagon for over seven hours each way, a display that echoes his 20 years of work to preserve the memory of Dakota homesteaders. Bridge, who moved from Vermillion to Madison as a child, no longer owns a car or license but accepts rides. His wife Laura notes the publicity value and his goal to keep a vanishing South Dakota way of life alive.
