house occupied by the Ronald M. and

Ainanda Wilson family, as well as two or

three other occupants.

Ronald and Amanda Wilson, as well as

two of their three children, Brianna, 7, and

Franchesca, 3, got out of the house, the latter

apparently through a window assisted

by Parsons police, a fire official said. R.J.

was the last to be found and carried out of

the house.

The Labette Health Ambulance Service

transported Amanda and Franchesca Nil

Nilson to the hospital, where Franchesca was

life-flighted to the Uniy rsi of Kans Medical Center in Kansas City. She has

inside the home, which was engulfed in

fla4 and filled with smol when firefighters

entered. Firefighters found R.J.

in bedroom, but Steeby sai l the thennal

im didn t find him.

\ It s a life safety situation, You kind of

risl more to save more, Steeby said.

Ho firefighters were injured.

Steeby said the cause of th fire remains

un4er investigation, but the blaze apparent

y started in the kitchen atea. The Kansas

Statefire Marshal s Office is assisting

with the investigation, and fire investigators

walked members of the Wilson family through the home Monday a

Steeby said once all the occupants were accounted for, firefighters concentrated on the fire, which destroyed the house and its

contents. The loss is estimated at $40,000.

The house is owned by Barney Pontious of

rural Parsons.

The fire was under control early Saturday

morning.

Steeby didn t know if the house had

smoke alarms and the damage was so great

inside that firefighters wouldn t necessarily find any renmants of any. Firef1

didn t hear smoke alarms sounding, however.

Ronald M. Wilson on Monday said he

and his family have received many donations

from generous Parsonians. He doesn t

know at this point what his family still

needs. He declined to discuss the fire.

.wrence JoJi on new chanceflor

at KU: Kansas University soon will have one

more connection to the University of North Carolina. The Kansas Board of Regents announced

(recently) the selection of Bernadette Gray- Little, the current UNC provost, as KU s 17th chancellor. Interestingly, Gray-Little was on the

search committee that recruited former KU Fine Arts Dean James Moeser to become Carolina s chancellor in 2000.

The tables were turned several years later when Moeser recruited Gray-Little, then dean of UNC s College of Arts and Sciences,

to serve as UNC provost.

Gray-Little s selection is a landmark for KU. She will be the university s first woman chancellor and its first black chancellor. Hopefully, this will be the first of many landmark events for KU under the new chancellor s tenure.

In recent years, KU has struggled to

increase the racial and ethnic diversity of

both its faculty and student body, and it

seems natural that Gray-Little would be

able to advance that goal.

Gray-Little obviously is highly regarded at North Carolina.

The entrance of a new chancellor is an

exciting time for KU. We welcome Gray-Little to Lawrence and hope she will, indeed,

, prove to be an inspired choice to be KU s I next chancellor..
