From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 1, 1915:

• “Students at the University of Kansas are beginning to think that the hospital established by the University authorities this year, for the upkeep of which a fee of $2 was required from each student at the time he registered, is a fit subject for investigation by the blue sky authorities up in the statehouse. Although school has been in session several weeks now and in the course of that time a number of students have felt the need of medical attention, there has been no case so far reported that has been cared for at the University hospital…. Last Sunday a young woman student was ill with a threatened attack of typhoid fever. Her friends tried to get the University hospital busy on the case but were able only to learn that the hospital isn’t yet in working condition and no cases can be taken…. The downtown physicians have been prompt to give skilled and immediate attention whenever they have been called…. Under present conditions the hospital is under fire both from the students who gladly paid the fee and from those who regarded the compulsory fee as an imposition, the latter because they were made to pay money against their wishes, the former because they can’t get what they paid for.”
• “A ring with four rusty keys on it may furnish a connecting link between a robbery at the home of Mrs. R. B. Bonar at 342 Indiana street and the person who took a quantity of household goods from the house during her absence from town last summer. Mrs. Bonar has placed in the hands of the police a bunch of keys which was left by the robber at the time of his visit. As a bunch of keys looks like nearly any other bunch the police have no sure clue, but they will investigate. Mrs. Bonar discovered the robbery on her return home from her vacation, and there was no indication as to what time during the summer it was committed.”
• “‘I think it would be a very fine idea for the town to take a greater part in the opening of the University football season than we have in the past,’ said Mayor W. J. Francisco this morning. ‘The University is the “big thing” of the town and when an opportunity offers like that of Saturday, to show our appreciation of the institution and its activities, the town should do all it can to help. I think every automobile in town should be in that football parade, and that every business man should make it a point to have representation in the line of march. I would like to see our citizens take part in the festivities incident to the opening of the football season at least to the extent indicated…. Let’s all get out and make this parade and season opening the biggest thing of the kind the town has ever seen.'”
• “Donald Morrison is suffering from a fractured knee cap and Phil Olmstead is nursing many bruises today as the result of a collision of the motorcycle they were riding, with a Ford car on east Twelfth street last night. The Ford car is owned by James Lutz of Eudora. James Kraybiel was at the wheel when the accident occurred…. It is said that neither vehicle was moving beyond the speed limit at the time the accident happened, and that the collision was caused by the failure of each driver to understand just what the other was trying to do.”
