Thefts, Measles Hit Watkins
The big missing article is a 14th or 15th century Dutch painting which had been on loan from the art museum, and which hung to the right of the pharmacy window.
A centuries-old Museum of Art painting, a staff minutes book and a sofa cushion are missing from Watkin's Hospital.
The 32 by 46 inch painting reflects the artist's image in a brass pitcher and is in heavy browns, blacks and greens, bordered by green velvet.
"IT IS HARD TO remember details of a picture you see every day." Dr. Ralph Canuteson, director of the hospital, said. "The art museum cannot identify it or estimate the value since it was loaned to us about ten years ago when the museum was being reorganized."
As near as the hospital can guess, the painting was taken the night of March 29, probably after midnight. The lobby is kept open all night.
"The nurse on duty had some rather rowdy students come in about 12:15 but we did not notice the picture missing until the next day," he said.

"We did not think we would have to nail any pictures to the wall or cushions to the chairs in a hospital."
DR. CANUTESON SAID a cushion from the sofa in the main lobby was taken several days ago. "It is not likely this was picked up by accident, as it would probably make a good cushion for a sand bar party.

Thefts are not the only problem facing Watkins Hospital. German measles are attacking many KU students, and with it comes the problem of isolating the students suffering from measles.
"It looks just like a notebook and was undoubtedly picked up by mistake at the front desk. If this is discovered to be the case we would appreciate having it returned."
ACCORDING TO medical law, students with measles can't be locked up by quarantine but they should be isolated.
Dr. Canuteson said that in a close community such as KU, students running around campus and living groups with the measles are infecting those they come into contact with.

Dr. Canuteson said the symptoms vary but usually resemble those of a cold, such as slight temperature and sore glands before the rash appears.
