Three state Regents to be In Salina today Tliroe members of the Kansas Board of Regents will be in Salina today to talk about how the state's budget shortfall could affect higher education.

The state is facing an estimated $700 million shortfall between expected revenues and expenditures in next year's budget. "The message is to talk about the state of the budget in Kansas and how it impacts Regents' institutions and to look at potential revenue sources," said Dick Carter, director of external relations for the Regents. The Salina stop is part of a statewide tour the regents are making. The meeting is open to the public. From Staff Reports "This is a decision about me and not about my relationship," she said at the news conference.

Stovall, 45, urged Republicans to encourage House Speaker Kent Glasscock, her lieutenant-governor running mate, to enter the governor's race and endorsed him. Glasscock did not plan to make an announcement Monday "1 will unequivocally support Kent Glasscock if he chooses to run," she said. "Kent is a great candidate." The two-term attorney general said she was leaving the gubernatorial race because she did "not have the passion or commitment" for a third statewide campaign or to serve as governor. "It was never there to begin with," she said. Already in the race for the Republican nomination to succeed Gov Bill Graves are State Treasurer Tim Shallenburger, considered the conservatives' choice, and Wichita Mayor Bob Knight.

Larry Steckline on his 4-month-old relationship with Atlorney General Caria Stovall candidate.

Repuhlican Lt. Gov. Gary Shcrrer has said he would announce by Wednesday whether he will run for governor. Senate President Dave Kerr plans to disclose his intentions after the Legislature ends its session in May. Last year, moderates united behind Stovall in hopes of defeating Shallenburger in a one- on-ono primary race between the i)arty's two feuding camps.

Knight's entry in January made the race more complicated. Steckline, 60, a widower, said Monday he and Stovall have had a relationship for the past four months. "So that's not news, quite honestly, and a great relationship it is," Steckline told his network. "As far as her political aspirations are concerned, that's her business," Steckline said. "But 1 must tell you, she has made up her mind on a couple of things, including running for governor" Stovall said she made her decision about her political future before she left on the overseas trip.

Asked if he had any say In Stovall's decision, Steckline said, "No, 1 sure don't. I could care less, either direction." But, he added, "I must tell you that she hasn't been real excited about the governorship from day one." Stovall is serving her second term as attorney general, having been elected in 1994 after serving on the Kansas Parole Board and as Crawford County attorney She won re-election in 1998 with more than 75 percent of the vote. :1 GUESS WHO CUSTOM SATELLITES DIRECTV PROGRAMMING $34.99 PER MONTH 1" RECEIVER AT $0.00 RECEIVER $49.00 SETUP FEE CALL 786-493-0266 866-444-4720 SALINA, KS TURNS 9 TODAY?
