Nearby: Lawrence, KSKansas Speaks results from Fort Hays University, 2024. Fort Hays University Recreational and medical cannabis use is a hot-button topic for voters in Kansas. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Cindy Holscher has made it one of her biggest campaign issues, alongside data center plans and cost-of-living improvements.Since 2024, Kansas has been surrounded by states that have legalized recreational or medical marijuana, or both: Colorado, Oklahoma, Missouri and Nebraska. Kansans looking to buy marijuana can cross state lines and come back with their items, with all taxes going to neighboring states. However, 67 percent of Kansans are in support of legal and taxed medical marijuana, including most Republicans, according to a survey conducted by Fort Hays State University in 2024.Cannabis use for medical problems has been fought over in Kansas for at least five years, since a 2021 bill passed the House but failed in the Senate.

A piece of Oklahoma State coach Eric Morris’ roots in college football resurfaced when his team had its back to the wall.In a room in Manhattan, Kansas, Morris passed out copies of “The Little Engine that Could” to read together, hoping to spark some belief in the Cowboys after a demoralizing loss and before another road test. It was an unorthodox approach, and one that Morris can’t take credit for. He was just following in the steps of his coach.kAm“x E@@< 2 A286 7C@> |:<6 {6249’D 3@@<[” |@CC:D D2:5]k^Am kAm|@CC:D A=2J65 7@C E96 =686?52CJ 4@249 {6249 2E %6I2D %649 7C@> a__d\_g[ 2?5 96 H6?E E9C@F89 D@>6 @7 E9@D6 D2>6 3@@<\4=F3 DEJ=6 C625:?8D @7 E92E DE@CJ 2E E62> >66E:?8D]k^AmkAm|@CC:D’ A2DE 2E %6I2D %649 92D D92A65 9:D 42C66C] xE 96=A65 9:> 86E 9:D DE2CE :?

Nearby: Leavenworth, KSAPPLETON, Minn. — The Prairie Alliance for Human Dignity will host a vigil, rally and news conference Saturday in Appleton in response to the arrival of the first ICE detainees at the Appleton Detention Facility. CoreCivic, the longtime owner of the shuttered private prison, announced a contract to reopen the 1,600-bed facility for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention. A day later, the company announced it had sold the property to the federal government but would still operate it. According to information from CoreCivic that was shared in August during a roundtable in Appleton, detainees will come largely from Minnesota and neighboring areas that are the responsibility of the Minneapolis office of ICE. The facility will hold only adult men and women, the company said at the time, and detainees are expected to be held an average of 35 to 65 days.

Nearby: Leavenworth, KSGraphic by Olivia Welhoelter The op-ed below does not necessarily reflect the views of the University Daily Kansan and its members.Anime can teach a toddler their shapes, and it can leave an adult staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m. questioning everything they believe. Somehow, it still gets dismissed as “just cartoons.” But it's not just a genre. It’s a medium, and it’s been misjudged for decades. Here's why it's not just cartoons.Anime is hand-drawn or computer-generated animation originating from Japan. It can have a very kid-like cartoon aesthetic or very mature animation for poised palettes, with narratives or visuals strong enough to get it banned in many countries.Animes can be simple or complex. Many animes traverse a philosophical plane that some live-action shows don’t touch as much or as well as anime can. It can be especially impactful as it reflects worlds similar to ours, with the same problems we deal with in our society.
