It will begin this year on Oct. 1 and will run until Oct. 19 from 1 a.m. to 1 o.m. SHOW ME THE MONEY KU Cash Bus is back to quiz students' knowledge for cash prizes BRET IVY bivy@kansan.com Every day, students hop on one of many of the buses on campus. Whether they are going to class or heading back home, the daily grind of getting on and off the bus can get a little boring. But riding the bus in October doesn't have to be that way. Beginning October 1 the KU Cash Bus will be testing students' knowledge and rewarding them with vouchers for cash prizes. Cash Bus, directed by the Student Union Activities, is modeled after the Discovery Channel's game show, "Cash Cab." The competition gives students an opportunity to win money by answering Jayhawk related trivia. "We put together a lot of questions," SUA special events coordinator Jenna Olitsky said. "They range from KU sports to even names of buildings on campus; just a lot of stuff KU students may know, but they'll definitely have to think about." Last year, Cash Bus made its first trip on campus, sparking excitement in those who were able to get involved. "The first time I got on Cash Bus, I was kind of taken back," said Paul Pierce II, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo. "They had a lot of energy when we got on, and I didn't really know what was going on; but luckily enough they asked a question I knew, and I won!" The excitement inspired the SUA to bring Cash Bus back for a second year so students who weren't able to participate last year to win a little bit of money. "We really want everybody on campus to share in a fun experience," Oltisky said. "Plus, who doesn't love cash prizes?" "I think being on Cash Bus would be so cool," said Kassidy Mahoney, a freshman from Lawrence. "It's definitely something that sets us apart from other universities, and it's just another reason to come to KU." The Cash Bus will begin on Oct. 1 and will last until Oct. 19, running daily from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Cash Bus will not run during Fall Break. Edited by Hannah Wise HEALTH TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN Student Health Services now has now implemented a self check-in system for students at Watkins Health Services. Self check-in now available MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com Students can say goodbye to waiting in line at Watkins Memorial Health Center for their doctor's appointments. Last week, the center introduced a self check-in system, which allows students to sign-in for their appointments. "It'll certainly allow students to get through registration and directly to their doctor's appointments a lot faster," said Joe Gillespie, associate director of KU Student Health Services. After checking in at the kiosk, students receive a print out that tells them where to go. "I personally like being able to check myself in," said Linseye Johnson, a junior from Kansas City, Mo. Marshonda Willinghan, a senior from Kansas City, Mo. sees the system as a more convenient access to the health services offered at Watkins. Willinghan has worked as an office assistant at the clinic for three years and has all her health needs taken care of through Watkins. "The staff is more focused on students," Willingham said. "It's convenient because it's right on campus. Since the doctors only accept student patients, they are more attuned to their needs and can make a faster, more accurate diagnosis." All appointment costs are covered in the student-health fee of $115.20 per semester, but not all students use the services offered. Maria Ramirez, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., still goes to her family doctor. "Since I commute, it's more convenient for me to remain with my current doctor." Ramirez said. Ramirez isn't the only member of the student body not taking advantage of the student health services, approximately half the student body does not visit Watkins. Last year, the health center saw more than 15,000 people for a total of more than 100,000 appointments, Gillespie said. He estimated that at least 20 percent of students who walk through the door can now use the self-check in kiosk. Students without a scheduled appointments, making their first visit or changing their previous insurance information will still need to check in through the front desk, he said. Willingham has not seen many students come into Watkins this semester, but she expects that to change as the year continues because of increased illness and awareness of the center's services. "I feel comfortable at Watkins," Willingham said. "The staff makes students feel comfortable with any needs they may have." — Edited by Laken Rapier INTERNATIONAL Colombian president speaks about his Jayhawk journey ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com But for Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, the trip was less of a visit and more of a homecoming, as he returned to his Alma Matter for the first time since graduating in 1973. For the first time in the University's 146-year history, a sitting head-of-state visited campus. Santos and his delegation stopped over in Lawrence before they headed to the United Nations' General Assembly in New York, which starts on Sept. 25. During his brief visit, Santos spoke to an audience at the Dole Institute of Politics Monday afternoon, before being presented with the Alumni "When you consolidate the principles, the values, the experiences you have as a student, they eventually give you the instruments to be successful in life," Santos said. "I repeat with pride, those instruments were made at KU." Santos has applied them to how he's governed Colombia. Recently, Colombia captured the last remaining major drug lord, Daniel Barrera, in Venezuela with full cooperation of the Venezuelan authorities. Distinguished Achievement Award, the highest award given out by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences "I thought it was really interesting, everything he's done to calm down the drug wars over there," Michael Virgo, a graduate student from Overland Park said. "That's definitely an Earlier this year, Santos entered into peace talks with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, also known as FARC. They will continue their talks next month in an effort to put an end to the violence that has plagued Colombia since 1964.

He joined the Delta Upsilon fraternity, where he lived for two years before moving into an apartment for his final year "Even though he didn't hold any leadership positions, anything is really possible." Pringle said. "I didn't know what to expect," Beltran said. "In Colombia it's really hard to see the president, and it's really cool that I can see him here." Vanessa Beltran, a junior from Overland Park, holds Colombian citizenry. She jumped at the chance to see President Santos. With his Kansas values under his belt, Santos heads to the U.N. General Assembly hoping to find solutions not only to the problems that face Colombia, but to ones that have a global impact. And he feels the general assembly is a great place to get things done. on campus. "Diplomacy is always a better solution than war." Santos said.
