• You voted for president, now vote for transit

  Yesterday, we posted a report from the University of Kansas that gave a bleak analysis of our under-funded, overcrowded, pollution-spewing transportation system. The study took a nationwide perspective, but, if there's a poster child for poor transit planning, look no further than Kansas City. But locals are starting to get sick of sprawling highways. And now is the time to vote for a different direction.

• Five year study hopes to discover if layoffs make journalists sad

  Scott ReinardyIf any of the soon-to-be-fired staff of The Kansas City Star make it over to the Angry Journalist Web site to vent -- and lord knows they deserve to vent -- they'll see a plea from University of Kansas assistant professor Scott Reinardy to become part of his study. If they e-mail the j-school prof, they'll be part of a rigorous scientific process to test a bold thesis: Firing a newspaper's staff will change news coverage and depress journalists.

• This Weekend: Kiosk Benefit this Saturday featuring Midnight Vinyl, Def Ear

  If the phase "college literary magazine" strikes fear into your heart, you've obviously never picked up a Kiosk. The long-running University of Kansas publication bucks the trend year after year with great short stories and poetry woven together with immaculate graphic design. The kids who put it together take great pride in it, and it gets out to the people for free thanks to benefit shows like Saturday night's (April 4) soirée at the Jackpot Music Hall. Headliner Midnight Vinyl splits the di

• Design A New Logo For KJHK

  So, KJHK listeners, here's a proposition for you. The station's exec staff has noticed that their logo, while fitting to their image, is starting to show its age. Being a radio station that generally attracts wonderful people with wonderful creativity and even more wonderful ways to put that creativity to use, we are asking if you, dear KJHK listener, if you would be willing to help them design a new logo. They have little to no guidelines, other than that it say KJHK 90.7 on it somewhere. If y

• Jayhawks disown White Owl? KU's No. 1 fan claims he was banned from campus

  The man wants to ban White Owl from the University of Kansas' campus. At least, that's what White Owl -- the 61-year-old, third-team mascot for the Jayhawks -- claims. Who could doubt this man's credibility? Well, the University of Kansas. That's who. White Owl is spreading his sad(?) story of persecution at the hands of shadowy people. In the latest edition of The University Daily Kansan, White Owl claims that a nameless woman representing KU's administration told him that the shcool's leade

• Friday Freebies

  And once again, we bring you Friday Freebies, wherein we present things to do this weekend that won't cost you any more than the gas it takes to get to 'em. Things are coming to an end, as we get to the end of summer. Kansas City schools get kicking Monday morning, so your options for kid-friendly stuff pretty much come to an end this weekend. I imagine most places assume homework and after-school stuff's going to take the place of movies and whatnot. Still, there's plenty to do this weekend th

• KU's answer to binge drinking: Online classes!

  ​The University of Kansas' online alcohol class sounds straight from the pages of the University of Phoenix's course catalog.  A couple of students drank themselves to death in the spring. So KU announced today that all students younger than 22 are now required to take a two-hour "interactive, online course about the effects of alcohol ... on the body and behavior." I smell a morality tale. Slacker Jayhawks better finish the course by November 2 if they want to enroll in the spring semest

We expect to see a rush of horny dudes enrolling in journalism school classes if they catch a headline today on Jim Romenesko's blog: "Kansas University j-school enrollment is 70% female." All right!Even more jaw-dropping was this quote from KU journalism school dean Ann Brill."It's probably a right brain/left brain thing," Brill told the Lawrence Journal-World. "That sounds sexist, but there's some truth to it. Another reason is probably because the

  ​The University of Kansas tried to stop the bleeding after the ego-tripping feud between football players and basketball players. Now more details are out, and a former Jayhawk star is listed as a witness in a July battery case involving the mother of his child. The Lawrence Journal-World reports that University of Kansas police have linked an altercation outside Burge Union and an incident in which a man allegedly threatened to shoot a woman in a parking lot near Jayhawker Towers to the feud

• KU's Marching Jayhawks to Play First-Ever Indoor Concert

  Well, to be completely honest, members of the University of Kansas' Marching Jayhawks have been playing indoors for decades as part of the Bar Band, wherein marching band members get together and play fight songs in bars for drinks. This, however, is the first time the entire band has ever played an indoor concert, and officially. ​So, if you're unlike me, and thus not lucky enough to be able to listen to the football game halftime show from the comfort of your front porch, or too broke t
