The University Community is invited to join together on the steps of Chalmers Hall, as White’s memory is honored.

Rock Creek’s USD 323 met with more success than Manhattan/Ogden’s USD 383 before the State Finance Council, in asking for emergency aid Monday. Rock Creek is to receive $141,000 of the $229,000 requested, with Manhattan/Ogden only getting $26,000 of the $498,000 requested.

Medlen, who returned last month after his second Tommy John surgery, made seven appearances out of the…

Leon Hobson didn’t have many good things to say about a 2001 Ford pickup the county purchased new before he took the Riley County Public Works helm in 2003. The vehicle in question is not like many half-ton pickups in the county fleet. It houses three fuel tanks and is powered by natural gas. It also takes 12 hours to fuel and has a range of under 200 miles when filled up. “This pickup has not been the best of purchases since we’ve had it,” Hobson said. “It’s been in the shop as much as it’s been out and operational.…
