Opinion Line (Oct. 19)

The school board couldn't wait to spend the new money to hire an assistant superintendent instead of spending the money on the students. Those people are money hungry.

I once admired the Kansas Stars for playing in the NBC Tournament, more or less, for love of the game. Now that the novelty has worn off, they have displayed the typical, overpaid athlete attitude so common in sports today.
