Good morning, Lawrence.

Last Saturday, Haskell held a bison harvest where community members gathered early to chat and snack on hackberries while waiting for a bison donated by the Osage Nation to arrive late.

The animal was processed quickly following a traditional method — a sign of shared cultural practices — and the event brought together Native and non-Native participants for a meaningful celebration.

A Monday morning fire at Lawrence High School's locker room forced an evacuation and was quickly controlled by a sprinkler head—officials reported moderate smoke and no injuries, and they investigated the cause.

KU professor Jonathan P.

Lamb released a book titled 'How the World Became a Book in Shakespeare’s England' that shows how bookish language shaped ideas in literature, science, religion and politics during the 16th and 17th centuries—he gathered 5,000 examples with KU students to support his research. The book, published by Cambridge University Press, explains how language from Shakespeare’s era still influences how we think today.

Max Cooper, a 23-year-old former KU student, wowed all four judges on NBC’s The Voice when he auditioned last week by performing 'Cooler Than Me'—he chose Michael Bublé as his coach and now prepares to release new music and tour.
