UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
KU to start studies in cancer research
University cancer research projects will have a home in the fall of 1996.
Although construction had already begun, the official groundbreaking ceremony for the Dolph Simons Center for Bioscience Research building took place Saturday on West Campus.
The building will be adjacent to Smissman Research Laboratories and McCollum Laboratories on Constant Avenue on West Campus. They are part of the Higuchi Biosciences Center of Excellence, named for Takeru Higuchi, professor of chemistry and pharmacy for 20 years, who died in 1987.
Elias Michelis, director of the Higuchi centers, said the building would be a home for researching several cancer-related projects, such as forms of treatment and ways to deliver the drug to the affected area. The projects currently are spread in several buildings, including Mallott Hall, Haworth
Hall, and Smissman Research Laboratories, he said. The center was named for the late editor and publisher of the Lawrence Journal-World, who died in February 1889.
"Dad wasn't so much as involved in cancer research as was chair of the Endowment. Ass when the Endowment Association and University recruited Higuichl," said Dolph Simons, Jr., editor and publisher of the Journal.World.
The $8.95 million project was funded by the National Cancer Institute and a revenue bond sponsored by the state legislature.
KU administrator dies
KU's assistant director for academic computing services died from cancer Thursday at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Services for Herbert Harris, 55, were held Monday afternoon. In Harris' memory, KU's computing services were officially closed two hours on Monday.
Harris had worked at KU's computer services since 1977 and had been the assistant director since 1981 said Wes Hubert, academic computing
"During that time, he was responsible for handling changes from a single central computing system to the microcomputer system of today," Hubert said.
services manager.
Hubert said Harris would be remembered by his ability to find creative funding for computing during the 1980s when services for students and faculty were slowly growing.
"He was always looking for ways to move things forward," he said.
Harris also began summer computer camps at KU in 1983. Designed for high school and junior high students, the camps eventually led to permanent microcomputer labs on campus.
"He carried a key crunch room into a computer lab." Hubert said.
A Lawrence resident for 27 years, Harris graduated from Yale University in 1963 with a degree in philosophy. He also received masters and doctoral degrees in linguistics from KU in 1972 and 1981.
Memorials are suggested to Douglas County's Hospice or Visiting Nurses Association or the Center for Basic Cancer Research at Kansas State University.
Alcohol involved in fatal fall
Kansan Staff Report
KU police released on Friday that Scott McWhorter — the Dallas freshman who died after a fall on April 24th from a window at Corbin Hall — had a blood alcohol content of 1.9.
Officer Cindy Alias of the KU police department said that the results of the blood alcohol test were delayed because the department was waiting for the autopsy results to be returned from University of Kansas Medical Center. KU police wanted all the information to be released at the same time, she said.
Lawrence Price of the Douglas
County coroner's office said McWhorter's blood alcohol level was actually tested at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Since McWhorter had medication in his system before he was sent to the Med Center, a blood alcohol test taken during the autopsy would have been inconclusive.
The legal limit for drunk driving in Kansas is .08, which McWhorter's blood alcohol content more than doubled.
Price said that he could only speculate about McWhorter's condition at the time of the fall.
"Alcohol affects different people in different ways," Price said.
