Student breathing on own, remains in critical condition
Andy Marso remained in critical condition at the University of Kansas Hospital Sunday evening, according to a hospital emergency.
Doctors in Lawrence diagnosed bacterial meningitis in Marso on Wednesday.
The senior from St Cloud, Minn., has spent the last five days on a ventilator.
Myra Strother, Watkins Memorial Health Center chief of
Marso
staff, said Marso could breathe on his own, but when meningitis infects the body, it releases toxins that destroy the skin's tissue.
She said the ventilator increased Marso's oxygen level, which helps fight those toxins.
As of Friday, the antibiotics were able to stop the spreading of the meningitis bacteria, but the toxins were still present in his body.

Daisy Hill Internet restored; computer update required
Internet access was being restored building by building to residence halls on Daisy Hill this weekend.
However, students must initiate a process that will automatically clean and update their computers, said Allison Rose Lopez, public relations manager for KU Information Services.
Fliers have been distributed to Daisy Hill residence halls with instructions to students.
Because not all halls have Internet access, the Budig Hall computer lab will remain open 24 hours every day this week, including Saturday.
For Daisy Hill residence halls, some dialup access numbers have been removed, according to the KU Web site. Students are asked to use 864-0700 for dialup access.
For updated information about Internet access, changes to the system and virus protection call the KU Network Information Line, 864-1100.

This caused them to reduce its summer session from three to two shows.
Before, the summer theatre consisted of the Kansas Repertory Theatre. a company of actors and technical advisors that worked on three shows simultaneously and presented them on rotating nights.
Following the cancellation the all the plays were individually produced.
Fifty years ago:
The student union hosted the Foreign Student show that showcased 19 displays from countries all over the world.
The displays showcased artifacts from student's home countries.

Where's my appendix, and what does it do?
Everybody's wondered - where is that pasky useless little organ? The appendix is located in the lower right-hand side of the abdomen, either behind the cacum or in front of the ileum. Nobody is really sure exactly what it does but there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that the appendix plays an important role as part of the body's immune system, especially early in life.
