Click for story



Soon there are going to be district-wide changes for all the Metropolitan Community College campuses regarding the distribution of financial aid checks and the current tuition payment plan.

"The enrollment management areas at the college [admissions, access, advising, financial aid, bookstore, payment services, orientation, registration and testing] have been reevaluated over the past year and processes are changing to align better with student need," said Tuesday Stanley, Vice Chancellor of Student Development and Enrollment Management.

Liberty Museum

On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, thus putting the events into motion that led to the First World War. The War lasted four years and killed roughly nine million soldiers. Nestled within Kansas City's monumental Liberty Memorial to those who died, the World War One Museum further honors the fallen by taking an in-depth, educational look at what was achieved in defense of liberty, and has often been forgotten due to our country's fixation on World War Two.

Editorial: Vote No on 1 – Keep the Buses in the Garage


Click for story


Question 1 on Kansas City’s April 8 ballot is whether to continue a 3/8 cent sales tax in Kansas City, which has come to provide about a third of the current Kansas City Area Transportation Authority budget.  KCATA General Manager Mark Huffer warns that if revenue from the tax is lost, KCATA would have to cut their service 40-50%.

But why do we keep funding the same crummy bus service at any level?  Huffer claims the reason bus service in Kansas City is bottom of the barrel is because KCATA is not funded regionally, like Mark Funkhouser wants the Zoo to be.
