Jose de San Martin is Argentina's national hero. A polite and sophisticated man, he was dispirited by the internal power squabbles that followed independence, and left to spend the rest of his life in France.

CRIME
Jayhawk statue is damaged again
this statue was discovered uprooted a few feet away from its original spot Saturday morning, just hours before the Colorado football game.
The Classic Jayhawk statue in front of the Kansas Union was damaged over the weekend, marking the second occurrence this semester.
A KU maintenance employee discovered the Jayhawk when it
was not bolted to the ground in front of the Union. Wayne Pearse, director of facilities, then notified emergency dispatchers between 7:30 and 8 a.m.
Pearse said he doesn't understand why people keep vandalizing the statue.
Luckily damage was not that bad this time. Prior to its re-installment we are going to take some additional measures to ensure its safety from this point forward. But we don't want to elaborate on what that might be," Pearse said. "It's hard for us to
believe that someone wants to damage our mascot so much."
Two ATMs inside of the Union were also damaged along with the statue. The front plates were broken into, but it's unclear if any money was taken. Pearse said the University Public Safety Office does have evidence on camera of an individual vandalizing the ATMs.

Investigators are still unsure if the vandalism with the Jayhawk statue is related to the ATM incidents.
