nooks&crannies: THE STUDIO
BY LINDSEY PARKER
The Studio opened in Fall 2006 as part of the renovations to Hashinger Hall on Daisy Hill. This study location provides couches, booths, tables and both indoor and outdoor areas.
This facility hosts several different dining options, including Brellas' sandwiches, Quesarito and Hot Stuff Pizza. It has a full, made-to-order menu containing everything from chicken wings to crunchy chicken cheddar wraps to ice cream. A menu is available at www.union.ku.edu/studiomenu.shtml.
There is also a convenience store selection of chips, candy and snacks, as well as a refrigerator containing prepared sandwiches, drinks and yogurt. Pulse coffee shop serves latenight caffeine-deficient students.
The difference between The Studio and other on-campus eateries is its
hours: It stays open all night. The Studio keeps normal hours from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., but also reopens from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. For those suffering from late night study-munchies, this is the only on-campus option.
Nightlife at The Studio presents many different study options. Televisions play softly as study groups chatter. Students flip flashcards as smoothies are blended in the background. Thursday nights feature a "Grey's Anatomy" theme complete with the "McDreamy Latte" "Meredith's Mocha" and the "McSteamy."
The next time a night-time study snack is in order, or if the study group is looking for a convenient place to meet, remember the on-campus option at The Studio.

Mike Proudfit, Garden City freshman, competes in bungee run at Student Union Activities' Recess on Monday afternoon in front of Stauffer-Flint. Bailey DeReus, president of SUA, said that it is good to have fun outside when the weather is nice and warm. The event included some other amusements such as paraffin hand waxing and recycling contest.

"Sick. Do you know how many germs there are on the ground? It can't be sanitary to put that food in your mouth."

Cheese covered the roadway
Until the early 1940s, only unmarried women were admitted to the nursing school at the University of Kansas, and they had to remain single until they completed the program.
Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Marcel Bright said the semi driver had to swerve to avoid crashing into a car that had cut it off at about 1:35 a.m. Although the truck driver avoided the crash, the trailer spun out, turned over and broke in two.
Crews spent more than nine hours cleaning up the scene of the accident and removing the truck and trailer. All lanes of traffic were closed southbound until 10:30 a.m., when one lane of traffic was reopened, Bright said.
Girl stops speeding van, saves mother, brother
Some of the cheese had come out of its packaging, so the cleanup crews had to pick it up by hand, Bright said.
CHICAGO — It was unseasonably warm — but not baking — and that probably helped save a portion of the Chicago Skyway from turning into a gigantic, Windy City-style deep-dish pizza.
odd news
The southeast-bound lanes of the heavily traveled route into Indiana were blocked for hours Sunday morning after a tractor-trailer hauling mozza-rella cheese was involved in an accident and spilled its contents onto the pavement near the Skyway tollbooth.
PERU, Ind. — An 11-year-old girl stopped a van that went out of control when her diabetic mother became ill, police said.
Domestic
Indiana State Police Senior Trooper Joe Swisher said Abigail Parker's actions were "nothing short of heroic."

Besides stopping the van, Abigail kept her mother and 8-year-old brother calm and informed paramedics about her mother's condition, Swisher said.
