WU Backers Put Signs on Campus
"If WU wanted its diplomas from KU we would have enrolled at KU. WU doesn't want to be an extension!"

This was one of six signs recently posted on the KU campus by unknown persons, according to campus police.
"We hold these truths to be selfevident, all universities were created equal!"
The signs were found on a traffic sign at 13th and Mississippi, on a tree nearby, on the 14th Street traffic station, in front of Haworth Hall, on the west side of the Kansas Union and on a sign at 12th and Oread.
OTHER SIGNS READ:
"We want degrees from Wichita!"
"WU chooses Harvard!"
"WU doesn't want to be an intellectual parasite!"
KU officials think the signs were probably left in retaliation for a sign deposited earlier on the WU campus by apparent KU supporters.
All six signs here protested a recent proposal submitted to the Kansas Board of Regents by a group of national education experts.
THE PROPOSAL was that Wichita University become a "State Universities Center" under the general direction of KU and Kansas State College.
Campus police said they have no clue to the identity of the sign hangers.
Blue Cross ID's Due On 30th
KU students who bought health insurance during fee payment week have another two weeks to wait for their Blue Cross-Blue Shield ID cards.
Gary Zook, Topeka manager of the Blue Cross member service department, said the ID's will not arrive at KU until Nov. 30, though they are usually in the students' hands by mid-November.
He said the cards were delayed because his office received the necessary information from KU late.
But all the students who bought the insurance are covered and claims can be processed, he said.
Keith Nitcher, KU comptroller, said yesterday that the business office sent the money and names to the Topeka office a day earlier than they did last year.
"Considering that fee payments ended Oct. 3 and we sent the money in Oct. 11, I think this was a good job." Nitcher said.
Since none of the 2,280 students enrolled in the program have their Blue Cross ID's, Watkins Hospital has been using receipts attached to students' KU ID's to determine if students have the insurance.
She said the $14 health fee, paid by students as part of the campus privilege fee, covers doctors' fees at Watkins, most laboratory fees, first day hospitalization and physical therapy.
Mary Baxter, insurance clerk at Watkins, said the Blue Cross program is set up around the KU student health fee.
The Blue Cross program covers the cost of drugs and X-rays, surgery and hospitalization after the first day.
The insurance plan is good at any hospital, Mrs. Baxter said.

Four flags fly from the twin towers of Fraser Hall. One is the American flag, the other, a KU banner.
Minute Flags Mark Valley's High Point
The other two, much smaller, are the private property of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The flags mark one of the highest points in the Kaw Valley and are visible from as far away as Ferry.
The engineers use the two flags— one white, one red—to determine elevations for use in their surveying work.

Buildings and Grounds officials say the flags have flown from Fraser for a number of years, but no one knows just how long.
Similar marker flags are also located at the Lawrence airport and at a point south of Lawrence.
