Friends share fond memories of KU senior who died in canoeing accident

sources.
The two were canoeing with two other friends when they were reported missing Jan. 3 to the authorities in Walworth County, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Re-
uary while on vacation in Wisconsin.
Weinstein's friends and fellow Jayhawks said they
hope he's remembered as an intelligent, compassionate man.
"He always had something good to say," said Daniel Superina, a senior from Toronto and childhood friend of Weinstein. "I've known him since I was three years old, and he was my very first really good friend after moving from Toronto."
"Even if you had a really embarrassing question that you didn't think you could ask anyone else, Mori would be there for you and make it really easy to talk about," Superina said. "He was just that guy that you could go and talk to about anything. But he wasn't just kind, he had such an open mind and was really adventurous and would try something new just for the fun of it."
Superina said Weinstein was approachable and easy to talk to.
Superina said he was amazed at Weinstein's intelligence, saying that the 21-year-old was "freakishly good at statistics."
"I would look over at his notes in class and he had
just a sentence or something written down but when I'd ask for help later he had nailed it all just by sitting through one lecture," he said. "He was incredibly intelligent."
Lauren Mars, a junior from Mahtomedi, Minn., had a similar experience with Weinstein.
"There aren't even really words to explain how fond people were of Mori," Mars said. "Mori was truly one of a kind. He knew what to say to everyone he spoke to and he always made people comfortable."
Mars, who lived in the same dorm as Weinstein her freshman year, said he was easy to get along with.
"He was super shy at first, but then slowly started to open up," Mars said. "He was so intelligent and interesting and could answer any question we had for him with confidence. He was so kind and open-hearted. We all loved him."
Mars added: "I will never understand why bad things happen to such good people, but I know that we will all grow and become better people in his memory."

University faculty and staff now have access to their own clinic at Watkins Health Center. According to a release from Watkins, the Immediate Care Clinic is now open for patients and is located on the second floor of Watkins.
The release said the clinic "treats acute onset problems such as bone and joint, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary and skin issues."
The clinic will be available to faculty, staff and University-affiliated corporations such as KU Athletics, KU Memorial Unions, Alumni Association, Endowment Association, Hilltop Child Development Center and the ROTC program, according to the release.
Previously, staff and faculty could be treated at Watkins, but Watkins primarily serves students. The new clinic opened Nov. 30.
Douglas Dechairo, director and chief of staff at Watkins, said he expects patient turnout to increase when the spring semester begins.
"[The opening has] probably been as expected," he said. "When you start up a new clinic, they don't come
rushing necessarily. But, you know, we've been seeing patients every day from the faculty and staff. Our average has probably been around one to two staff members per day."
Dechairo, who took over the director position two years ago, said he began discussing the idea of a staff clinic with fellow faculty members when he took the position. They received approval from the Provost's Office in August of 2015 to open the clinic.
The second floor of Watkins previously housed a sports medicine clinic, which closed several years ago. The lofter medical office equipment is now in use for the staff clinic. Watkins also hired a nurse practitioner for the new clinic who will help with the student clinic when there are no employee patients to be seen.
what it costs to run a clinic, and it's not a lot. Our break even is about four patients per day, and anything over and above that is revenue that can be used for other services for students."
"A lot of funding is transparent," he said. "We used to run a sports medicine clinic up here, and then that closed down, and that space was idle space and has been. It has already been equipped as a medical office space because of that. It was just sitting there. So we really had very little costs to get ourselves operational."
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and walkin appointments are welcome.
Dechairo said they are not necessarily pushing for a specific patient-per-day quota.
"We aren't really geared towards any specific number," he said. "We sort of know what our break even is from the standpoint of
