Food poisoning scare leads to seasonal virus
By Bengt Ljung Of the Kansan staff
A food poisoning scare at Hashinger Hall was quelled, but four residents were hospitalized for a suspected seasonal virus, the chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Hospital said yesterday.
The students were kept overnight at the hospital Wednesday night because of vomiting and diarrhea, said Rensselaer McClure, chief of staff.
"Any concerns we had early in the day should have dissipated by now," he said last night. "If it would have been food poisoning, we would have had dozens — if not hundreds — of other cases."
Lynn Heller, nurse health educator at Watkins, said sanitarians from Watkins and the State Health Department took food samples from the hall for analysis. She said the sick students had not eaten the same meal.
Lenoir Ekdahl, director of food services at student housing, said the roast beef and baked pork
chops served Wednesday night at Hashinger had been handled properly.
"Everything had been cooked freshly and had been kept in the refrigerator." she said.
"But it is not a major problem when we talking about six of 20,000 to 25,000 students," he said.
Outbreaks of viruses, McClure said, come in waves and that six students were kept overnight Tuesday night.
Heller said viruses are prevalent near the end of the semester because of increased stress on students. Common-sense health care such as eating well-balanced meals, dressing warmly and sleeping adequately would keep up the resistance against viruses and colds.
Last year, food from Hashinger suspected of being poisonous was analyzed, but was found to be safe, he said. The last case of food poisoning at the University was more than 15 years ago, McClure said, when a fraternity left a turkey unrefrigerated in August.
A report detailing how some cities regulate gun purchases was distributed to Lawrence City Commissioners yesterday by Mike Wilden, assistant city manager.
City may study gun report
By a Kansan reporter
the commission had the power to adopt a three-day waiting period between the time of application to purchase a handgun and the actual time of purchase.
The report, requested by Commissioner David Longhurst, contains copies of ordinances from Overland Park, Junction City, Kansas City, Kan., and Seattle.
Commissioners can pursue the gun issue by scheduling a study session, having a public hearing or through numerous other ways, Wilden said.
At the Oct. 22 commission meeting, Longhurst asked city staff whether
Longhurst brought up the question about a waiting period ordinance after the Oct. 17 suicide of a KU student who shot herself with a handgun two hours after she had purchased it.
State and federal banking officials closed two western Kansas banks yesterday, including the Decatur County National Bank of Oberlin, which the U.S. Controllor of the Currency said was closed for reasons stemming from alleged fraudulent activities of a former bank official.
In addition, Kansas Banking Commissioner Eugene T. Barrett Jr. declared insolvent the Farmers and Merchants State Bank of Rush County of LaCrosse in an unrelated case.

Frank Vance, a spokesman for Acting Comptroller of the Currency H. Joe Selby, said that along with the alleged problems with former bank

A statement by Barrett said only that the LaCrosse bank's condition deteriorated because of "the changing economic conditions."
president Farrell D. McAtee, the depressed agricultural and energy sectors contributed to the Oberlin bank's failure.
The two bank closings, the 12th and 13th in Kansas during 1985, mean Kansas regained its status as the state with the most bank failures in the nation this year. Oklahoma is second, with 12 bank failures this year, and Iowa and Texas are third with 11 failures each. Federal officials said the two Kansas banks became the 103rd and 104th banks to be closed in the nation this year.
District Court in Wichita said McAtee was charged in federal indictments handed down in January with three counts of embezzlement, two counts of making false statements on loan applications, two counts of making false entries in bank records and bank theft.

McAtee, 33, was charged with three counts of embezzling a total of $430,850 from the bank in 1981, 1982 and 1983, while he was bank president. He resigned late in 1983.
He also was charged with trying to deceive bank examiners by making a false entry to cover up a fictitious $400,000 loan that he is accused of authorizing.
