MANHATTAN, Ks. - An entire class full of graduate students studying Higher Algebra was lost on Tuesday. Witnesses last saw them somewhere in Cardwell Hall on the Kansas State University campus. “I don’t know what happened,” said Ernie Shult, the widely-respected professor of mathematics, who was leading the class. “I just turned around and they were way out there.” Student Ray McCubrey added, “I never even thought to turn around and check on them. I never come to class, so I guess I’m really lucky.” Governor Bill Graves signed an order shortly before noon authorizing the Kansas National Guard to help search for the lost students, and the Riley County Sheriff’s office is working 12-hour shifts until this situation is resolved. No suspects have been named, but a formal investigation has been established. The missing students’ names have not been released pending confirmation of their disappearance.
