Do You Know KU?

Every year, approximately 35 people are buried in the University of Kansas's cemetery. Pioneer Cemetery, initially called Oread Cemetery, is the final resting place of some of Lawrence's earliest settlers and, more
recently, KU faculty and staff.
According to kuhistory.com,
Aaron Perry originally owned Oread
Cemetery, and it remained privately
owned until 1867, two years after the
Oak Hill Cemetery opened.
After the 1863 raid on Lawrence,
approximately 70 of the 200 dead
were buried in a mass, unmarked grave at Oread Cemetery. Later, the city moved all but six of the graves to Oak Hill, where a memorial had been built for them. Alfred and Sarah Peake, buried in 1882, were the last two people laid to rest in Oread Cemetery until 1968.
Oread Cemetery was in essence forgotten until 1906, when army veterans placed a memorial in the cemetery. It fell back into obscurity until 1928, when the mayor of Lawrence tried to restore the cemetery. He renamed it Pioneer Cemetery. His attempt did not succeed, and once again the city of Lawrence forgot about its first cemetery. Plant growth swallowed the marker he placed there, and it remained hidden until 2006.
Chancellor Franklin Murphy rediscovered Pioneer Cemetery in 1952 while walking with his daughters. Within a year, the KU Endowment Association purchased the land. The association reopened the cemetery in 1968.
Three former chancellors have been buried in Pioneer Cemetery: Deane Malott, W. Clarke Wescoe, and Raymond Nichols, Elmer McCollum, who discovered vitamins A and D, is also buried there.
KU faculty and staff who have worked at the university for more than 15 years are eligible to be buried there, as are members of the Alumni Association board of directors, trustees of the Endowment Association, and winners of the Distinguished Service Citation award.

San Bernadino City firefighters spray down fires approaching Highway 18 in Running Springs, Calif., Wednesday. The devastating wildfires in Southern California have caused at least $1 billion in damage in San Diego County alone, officials said. Easing wind gave firefighters hope that they could begin to gain ground against the flames.
What do you think? BY ALEX DUFFEK
JOSH DECKER Jola junior
"I don't think so because I don't want to have scars all over my face, and I don't think I'm tough enough to be an ultimate fighter."
WOULD YOU EVER CONSIDER COMPETING IN ULTIMATE FIGHTING?
"I've thought about getting in a fight before, but I wouldn't want to be in a cage."

"Probably not, but I'd like to see UFC 79 Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock, the final, final chapter."
ADAM SPEARS Wichita senior
RACHEL HATTAWAY Olathe senior
"No, I hate it. Some athletics like boxing are more of a sport, but ultimate fighting is too aggressive. There is too much testosterone there."
