CAMPUS ROUNDUP

KU MEDICAL CENTER: Candidates for governor, the state House of Representatives and all state senators were invited to the medical center campus Oct. 23 to get a look at the campus' deferred maintenance needs and learn about the role universities play in the success of the state. The visit was part of a series of working lunches arranged by the Kansas Board of Regents.

SCHOOL OF MEDICINE-WICHITA: The 12th annual Sweet Harvest was held recently. George and Donna Sweet, professor of internal medicine, opened their home to raise funds and awareness to help patients with HIV and AIDS. This year's event raised more than $26,000. Proceeds from the picnic benefit the Sweet Emergency Fund, which helps patients pay for critically needed medical and dental services.

Student Success events will include the introduction of on-site career services from the University Career Center. For more information visit Edwards Campus Event Calendar or call (913) 897-8400.

KU HISTORY

Comanche, a horse thought to be the only U.S. Army survivor of the battle of Little Big Horn, has been on display in Lawrence for more than 100 years. Although he was severely wounded in the battle, he was nursed back to health and lived until Nov. 7, 1891. KU naturalist Lewis Lindsay Dyche, a well-known taxidermist, was called to preserve the horse's remains. He agreed to waive his $400 fee if the Army would let KU keep Comanche. www.kuhistory.com
