BSU asks students to put down cells
What do cellular phones, air conditioning and stop lights have in common? They are all on the list of items that the Black Student Union will ask students to go without for Homecoming Week. BSU's Road Trip into Black campaign is a challenge to the KU community to go without the inventions of Black Americans.
"The BSU has a lot of history with KU's homecoming", said Kameron Mack,BSU's Program Chair.
Mack said this is due in part to an incident in 1970, when a black student fought to become
KU's first African American homecoming queen. The BSU supported her fight and made her its homecoming queen.After which,BSU began a tradition of electing its own homecoming queen and remains the only KU organization to continue to do so today.
According to BSU Vice President Vincent Cunigan, the continuing impact of this moment in black history is the inspiration behind this year's charge on KU students to go without Black American inventions. Cunigan said the question of "what would happen if there could not be an African American king or queen" led to further questioning the influence of Black Americans.
From Oct. 18 through Oct. 22, students can see for themselves. During the week, BSU members will be tabling at Wescoe encouraging students and faculty to take part. For those who may have a difficult time going without the use of

a cell phone or stop light for an extended period of time, other items on the list include peanut butter and key chains, invented by George Washington Carver and F.J. Loudin, respectively.

UPDATE
Fritzie transferred to Colorado hospital
Matthew Fritzie, a freshman from Stilwell who was injured during a Phi Gamma Delta fraternity party, was transferred Sept. 27 to a Denver-area rehabilitation hospital specializing in spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries, hospital officials confirmed Friday.
Fritzie was transferred from the University of Kansas Hospital to Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colo.
The US News and World Report has ranked Craig Hospital as a top 10 rehabilitation center in the nation for 21 consecutive years, since 1989 when the rankings started.
Fritzie was life-flighted from the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, 1540 Louisiana St., to the KU Hospital on Sept. 17 for head trauma after he dove into a temporary pool made from sandbags. According to a University report on its hazing investigation into the fraternity, Fritzie said he was "ordered" to "swan-dive into the pool."
The University placed the fraternity on a two-year probation for violating the University's hazing policy. Some activities related to the Sept. 17 party were part of the violation. However, its investigation did not substantiate that Fritzie's injuries were the result of hazing.
