March 6, 1947 — Daniel H. Spencer, a former professor in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Kansas, sold his home at 1014 Mississippi St. to the Kansas University Endowment Association to be used as student housing. The Endowment Association then rented it to the University for a mere $1,000 per year. Chancellor Deane W. Malott was given the task of naming the house and used an old set of silverware to come up with the name. The silverware was inscribed with "MH," and had been in circulation in Miller Hall. Using Robert Taft's "Across the Years on Mount Oread," he came across Chief Monchosia, a 19th century chief of the Kanza tribe. He named the building Monchosia Hall. After some rearrangements and restructuring of a couple of rooms, the house was set to accommodate 28 women and did to the chagrin

'Dead' man in no mood for jokes after mistake
CLEVELAND-Eighty one-year-old Myron Manders wants the Social Security Administration to know that he still is alive.The problem is,it doesn't seem to be listening.
Last November, Manders was preparing to leave a hospital where he was treated for pneumonia when a social worker said his insurance company would not pay the bill because it believed Manders died on Sept. 1.
"It was a mistake on our part and we are apologetic," he said.
William Jarrett, a Social Security spokesman in Cleveland, said Friday the mistake was due to an erroneous document. He could not disclose the error's source.
Manders' wife, Eunice, remembered that she first reacted to the news of her husband's allied demise with anger and laughter.
Jarrett said Eunice Manders has been paid a survivor's benefit, which he said is now considered an overpayment she will be responsible for paying back.

Elephant at zoo beats woman with trunk
WACO, Texas - A 25-year-old woman climbed past barriers and into an elephant's zoo exhibit, then crawled out with minor injuries after the 6,000-pound animal smacked her with its trunk.
"That's how an elephant reacts to something they would perceive as a threat," said Cameron Park Zoo director
Jim Fleshman.
After saying she wanted to play with the elephant, the woman climbed over a 3-feet-high wood-and-wire fence, scaled an 8-foot-tall artificial rock structure and bypassed an electric wire before jumping into the exhibit Thursday afternoon.

After the woman got out, fire and emergency crews took her to a hospital with minor injuries, including scrapes on her side and arm. Waco Fire Capt. Greg Kistler said the woman was visiting the zoo with a child and another woman.
