They do the Kansas City area competition at William Jewell. It's sponsored by the International Relations Council in Kansas City. The chair of our Poli Sci department is involved with it somehow.

Thanks for the clarification about Lincoln Prep, I figured you would know better than me any how, Dakota.

Yeah, KMO is pretty dumb but it is something that a lot of schools-- gifted programs mostly, I think-- do in this area.

Stephanie, that's not quite how the question was written. There was enough space for someone to simply buzz off of 1975 (which it appears people did). Gotcha.
