Police looking for suspect in local stabbing incident
Lawrence police are still looking for an assailant who stabbed a Eudora man Friday evening in the parking lot of the Westminster Inn, 2525 W. Sixth St.
Sgt. Don Dalquest said that John M. Benoit, 18, Eudora, had been caught while trying to protect his girl friend, Eileen Wright, 19, 2402 Princess Victoria.
He said that Wright had been returning to the motel from a nearby store when a man had approached her from behind. Dalquest said that the man was likely trying to get into the motel.
Benoit saw the incident and went to help her, Dalquest said. During the scuffle the assailant drew a knife, stabbed Benoit and then fled. Police said that Benoit had received a minor cut on his arm and had been treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and released.
Detective Verlon Myers said that the police had little evidence in pursuing an investigation.
"At this point, all we have is a composite," he said.
Hepatitis is found at state hospital
Ann Marshall, superintendent of Kansas Neurological Institute here, said yesterday that all patients would be vaccinated but that the
TOPEKA - One case of type B hepatitis has been confirmed at the state's institution for the mentally retarded, and officials have begun screening all 390 patients and 700 staff members for the illness.
Sick leave money is about $100 a person, she said. Her institution has asked the state Social and Rehabilitation Services Department for extra funding for the shots.
A 22-year-old woman at the institute was confirmed to have the illness Dec. 7, and a 16-year-old male patient Monday showed some signs of the disease.
Marshall said that blood tests on at least 12 patients and employees have indicated the disease, but that further tests were being conducted.

Record December cold rough on KU buildings
By JENNY BARKER Staff Reporter
Pipes burst in Marvin, Dyche, Green, and Murphy Halls and in Allen Field House and Memorial Stadium. Heating coils froze in Summerfield, Strong and Snow Halls, and a drinking fountain froze in Wescow Hall.
Although KU students found relatively mild temperatures when they returned to Lawrence, record-breaking low temperatures during the holiday break tortured KU buildings, causing more than $18,000 damage in broken pipes and soggy floors.
"IN A HUNDRED YEARS we've never had temperatures of 15 to 20 below zero for seven or eight days in a row," he said. "These buildings weren't designed for those temperatures."
Robert Porter, an associate director of Facilities Operations, said the cold caused damage in 10 campus buildings.
The December cold broke 16 records in Lawrence, and the average temperature for the month was more than 19 degrees below the normal average.
On Dec. 23, a water pipe burst in a walkway between Marvin Hall and the Visual Arts Building. Porter estimated that the break caused $15,000 to pipes and floors in the walkway and floors in adjoining classrooms.
The brunt of the cold came on Dec. 22 and 24, when the temperature fell to minus 16. That low broke the previous record for minus 15, set Dec. 16, 1932.
according to Mark Watson of the KU Weather Service.
According to the National Weather Service in Topeka, the high yesterday was about 13 degrees. Today will be cloudy with a high around 30. The low will be around 25. There is a 50 percent chance of snow.
PART OF THE $15,000 for those repairs will be spent to prevent the pipes from freezing again. Porter said. Porter, said, the water, service, bad
Porter said the water service had been restored to all campus buildings.
Tomorrow, the high will be near 30 with snow likely
Temperatures through Jan. 18 will be slightly lower than normal, with lows in March and April.
Holiday heaviness inspires exercise and diet resolution
By NANCY EDWARDS Staff Reporter
With visions of Christmas cookies and pumpkin pie still dancing in their heads, the extra pounds that returning KU students put on during the break serve as a reminder of yet another delicious Christmas past.
"It's too difficult to diet over the holidays," said Rachel Mauro, Kansas City, Mo. junior."When I sit at the table with my family and my mom has homemade stuffing and pie, that it — that's the killer."
Calories add up faster than the days of Christmas vacation, and Yuleide diet is often impossible.
DEBEBE RUDY, St. Louis junior,
said that the culinary tempestations
for her had begun long before the
holidays.
"It started getting bad around Thanksgiving and from then on it was a lost cause," she said.
The unwanted pounds left over from the holidays inspire many students to begin exercising as the
spring semester begins, said Tom Wilkerson, director of recreation services at Robinson Center. Physical conditioning classes at Robinson were filled before the fall semester ended, he said.
THOSE EXTRA HOLIDAY pounds come from various sources, but many KU students say they are encouraged to be faithful of certain consumable demands.
"Good, solid food is my biggest temptation — the kind of food you can't get at school," said Margaret Edwards, Clayton, M. senior.
Some students' tempations,however,weren't solid at all.
Alcohol is my worst temptation, said William Lavely, a sophomore who said he was from the Kansas City area.
But even for those who succumb to the temptation of holiday sweets, holiday fat often disappears before spring arrives.
DEALING WITH THAT UNEASY FEELING
Wilkerson said that the winter months were always the busiest at Robinson.
