After hour treatment discouraged
Students requiring treatment in the laboratory or use of the pharmacy created a special problem because technicians and pharmacists have to be called to work at an extra cost to the hospital
A large number of students coming to Watkins Hospital after regular hospital hours for routine purposes is creating a costly problem, said Dr. Raymond A. Schwegler, director of Watkins Hospital, Thursday.
Schwegler said students needing routine health care should try to come to the hospital during regular hospital hours, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but he stressed students having immediate health needs should not hesitate to come to the hospital after hours, if necessary.

(one of the "Beecher's Bibles" smuggled through pro-slavery Missouri to Kansas) and a pike (one of 2,000 such weapons ordered by Brown for use by slaves in rebellion).
A man, believed by Lawrence police to be wanted in connection with a car theft, threatened an injured motorist at an accident at 19th and Iowa and fled on foot last night.
John Gentry of Bartlesville, Oklahoma chased the occupant of a cream-colored 1968 Cadillac after it rammed a car in which he was riding. Another car was also hit at the intersection.
Two injured man flees
Gentry said he ran after the man and asked him where he was going. "I don't remember too much except he was carrying a package under his arm. I grabbed his shoulder and he muttered something. Then he swung around and said if I didn't let go he'd knife me. He lunged at me, I let go, and he ran," Gentry said.
Lawrence detectives said they believed the car had been stolen in Topeka. The officers conducted a brief search of the area for the man but abandoned it later. An officer said the suspect would probably turn up.
Because Douglas County participates in the Red Cross blood program, KU students and county residents are entitled to Red Cross blood privileges.
After interrogation at the scene by police, Gentry was taken to the hospital by Alan Cunningham, Bartlesville junior. Carol Cunningham, an employee of KANU and the driver of one of the involved autos, was taken to the hospital earlier.

The Red Cross blood program differs greatly from hospital blood banks. A blood bank usually supplies its own area. The Red Cross also supplies more than 50 per cent of all blood used in research. This blood can only be supplied to non-profit research organizations. Three per cent of all blood collected by the Red Cross goes to research.
After the blood is collected, it is primarily sent to distribution points and hospitals. Needed blood is often supplied by the hospitals' own stocks. If more blood is needed, sub-center distribution points, operating from
the main center in Wichita maintain a 24-hour service.
When a hospital uses Red Cross blood, it pays the Wichita center $13 per pint, the cost to the patient. Transportation costs to the hospital are paid by the Red Cross. The $13 charge partially pays the cost of collection, processing and distribution. The policy of the Red Cross is to supply blood, components and derivatives to hospitals at less than the cost of production.
After the blood is collected, it may be stored for 21 days. After this period, the red cells are no longer useable. These cells are then removed and the remaining plasma may be stored for an indefinite period. Some derivatives may also be removed from the cells.
In order to properly participate in the blood drive program, each county should collect units equivalent to 4 per cent of that county's population. This is needed to meet in-county and out-of-county needs, derivatives program, research, blood for disasters, the Department of Defense, Veterans Administration, and regional military hospital needs and dependents of servicemen overseas.
