Coats to be given out
Perhaps someone was looking for a respectable Republican cloth coat.

Alarming statistics
Aren't you supposed to be at work, ToxicPink?

What do you think?
The money should be used to lure employers in instead. My husband and I are having to move out of Emporia, where we have lived all our lives, because he can't find a job here. Bang up job, city commission.

Books for Rent
Honestly, most of my semesters in college, I didn't buy the textbook, and I didn't need it. There were only about three classes I took where I really needed the textbook to understand the material- chemistry, for instance- but for most of my classes, we didn't open it once. For example, in my econ class, I went to class about seven times throughout the semester and was astounded by how little was taught. I ended up stopping going to class, just read some articles about basic economics on my own time- about three hours worth of time investment- and showed up for the final, which I did very well on. I ended up getting quite a respectable grade in the class, but I was mostly irritated that I had wasted so much money to learn almost nothing.

Living locally
I completely disagree with the statement about out-of-town professors- it seems like baseless supposition to me. The professors I know who live outside of Emporia are talented, creative, qualified individuals who oftentimes have family who for job purposes must live outside the Emporia area. This doesn't affect their exemplary teaching at all, which should be the focus instead of some vague notion of improving "community relations."

Authors to sign books Saturday
Unfortunately, I'll be at work, otherwise I'd definitely be there. It's wonderful to see so many talented area authors in one place.

Economic recovery
I really wish that all of the Gazette commenters would get together in person and barbecue or something. I think it'd be an entertaining time.

Awesome! This is absolutely amazing.

Trial begins in Rachel Hall death
I just hope the jury remembers that you are innocent until proven guilty. Going into the trial with a predetermined verdict will not help anyone.

Emporia’s Fourth
The fireworks were fantastic this year- I had a blast. So to speak.
