Marching Jayhawks seek to rebuild dwindling band
The University of Kansas Marching Jayhawks face a shrinking roster with around 150 members, down from about 240 a decade ago. Budget constraints limit stipends, while revenue streams rely on athletics, music and dance, and student government. Directors note recruiting is tough but aim to raise participation, citing competition from stronger programs like Kansas State and ties to football success.

Bush urges Russia to back Iraq attack during talks
Russia fears war in the Middle East would destabilize the region and jeopardize its $7 billion Iraqi debt. Officials say Russia oil firms help rebuild Iraq and could gain later. Powell says U.S. and Russia will push Iraq to comply with UN resolutions and disarm suspect sites. White House notes Bush wary of cross border attacks by Russia while urging Georgia sovereignty. Congress split on a force authorization with Lieberman backing action if the UN stalls, Leahy warning against a blank check.
