RAINBOW ON THE AIR:

Kansas Public Radio's "Morning Edition" aired a feature on "Under the Rainbow: Oral Histories of GLBTIQ People in Kansas" on Aug. 21. The project, led by Tami Albin, undergraduate instruction and outreach librarian, documents the experiences of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer Kansans. Albin said she started the project because she was tired of GLBTIQ people outside of Kansas referring to the Midwest as an isolated and lonely location for GLBTIQ people.

RUNNING OF THE LIZARDS:

Joseph Collins, adjunct herpetologist for the Kansas Biological Survey, was quoted in a Christian Science Monitor article about the "Running of the Lizards." The Topeka event collects and counts Italian wall lizards. "Those who have done it before know what has to be done to catch these lizards," Collins said. "Those who haven't learn just how fast little lizards can be. They really like to hide under the air conditioners at Kentucky Fried Chicken. It's their natural habitat."
