Cyclist's condition upgraded
Student sustains head injuries in bike wreck near Anschutz
By Teresa Veazey Kansan staff writer
A KU student remained in fair condition yesterday morning at the University of Kansas Medical Center after a bicycle accident Thursday afternoon near Anschutz Science Library.
David McChristy, Lawrence junior, had been in serious condition until Sunday morning, said Carol White, a representative for the Med Center.
McChristy was riding his bicycle near the northeast entrance of the library, KU police said. Witnesses told police that McChristy flipped off his bike and landed head first on the payment.
Peter Houston, a supervisor for the Douglas County Ambulance Service, said McChristy lost control of his bicycle as he was going down a steep hill and was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
McChristy was conscious when KU police arrived at about 2:15 p.m. He complained of head pain and had a scalp laceration, according to the report.
At McChrisy's request, emergency workers transported him to Watkins Memorial Health Center. From there, Houston was transferred to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Hospital emergency staff then
McChristy's mother, Sandra McChristy, said her son was diagnosed as having a skull fracture in three areas and some bleeding in his brain. She said surgery wasn't needed for his injuries and that on Sunday he was moved from the intensive care to the neurological unit.
ordered Houston to be taken to the Med Center, where he was admitted to the intensive care unit.
Sandra McChrisy praised a doctor at Watkins, who first examined her son, for his kindness.
"She was just very kind," Sandra McChristy said. "She thought he needed to go to LMH and gave me his signs and symptoms."
The doctor at Lawrence Memorial Hospital who ordered David McChrisy to be transferred to the Med Center also received praise from Sandra McChristy.
"He gave us an idea of where to go because we're from Pittsburg," she said. "He later called David and our family to see how we were doing."
David McChristy said he could not recall the details of his accident.
"I don't remember what happened," he said. "I was just riding back to my house."
He said that he would buy a bicycle helmet when he was released from the hospital.
"He's been real lucky," Sandra McChristy said. "I never thought an injury like this could happen on a bike."
A KU student's growing stomach got him in trouble with KU police Saturday evening after he allegedly stole part of a sandwich from a refrigerator in Stephenson Scholarship Hall.

Hungry student bites into trouble at scholarship hall
Marcus Ayres, Topeka freshman and former resident of Stephenson, was spotted by other residents eating part of a hoagie sandwich that he did not pay for, KU police said. Ayres was issued a notice to appear in court after he admitted to eating the sandwich.
Kansan staff report
Joshua Hummert, Lawrence junior and president of Stephenson Hall, said hall residents had ordered a six-foot Blimpie's sandwich and put the leftovers in the hall refrigerator for residents who had missed the meal.
Hummert said Ayres was visiting friends at the hall and got hungry. Ayres' friends told him to go downstairs to the kitchen and find something to eat. Hummert said the sandwich did not belong to any particular resident because everyone had been invited to the meal.
But nonresidents were not welcome to snack on the leftovers.
Hummert said the whole sandwich saga was humorous, if not overblown.
"This was really blown out of proportion because the police were called," Hummert said. "There were just a couple of pieces in the refrigerator."
Ayres could not be reached for comment.
The name of the person who called the police was not available.
