Injured receive aid over ice
By SUE KONNIK Staff Reporter
A thick layer of ice has made getting around campus tricky for many students. But try navigating the slippery sidewalks on crutches.
The Student Assistance Center provides several options to students on crutches, said Lora Zimmer, director of the center.
To avoid· the treacherous ice, students can use buses buses, obtain a temporary sticker allowing access to buses or use on the campus lift van.
Temporarily injured students pay 40 cents to ride the van, Zimmer said. They would pay the same to ride the campus buses.
Student who are in full-leg casts or who are experiencing a lot of pain may ride the lift van, a service provided year-round for the permacultured Zimmer said the van accommodated most of the students on crutches.
ZIMMER SAID SHE often met with injured students to decide which option to choose.
"I get together with the student to discuss how bad the problem is and what the reasonable alternatives are." she said.
Scott Fiss, Overland Park somphe-
more, had reconstructive knee surgery in early Nov. mber. He said the snowfall had made traveling difficult.
"THE VAN PICKED me up at the Towers and brought me to campus," Diggs said. "I had to walk to class, and it picked me up at my last class." It was a lot better than the KU bus. I rode the KU bus once, and my leg got bumped a lot because it was so crowded."
"The snow is pretty packed down and there is ice underneath it," he said. "I haven't fallen yet, but I can care if I'm coming into it not really careful."
Diggs and Fiss are members of the team and were injured during the game.
John Diggs, Swedesboro, N.J., freshman, has been on crutches since early November. Diggs rope the lift van last semester and said he preferred it to the KU on Wheels bus.
The van uses a special platform to
lower the disabled person onto the ground. The platform is especially useful for persons who have full-legged children and steps on regular buses, she said.
"But if someone has a class in Malott," Zimmer said, "they still have to go down the back stairs. They're really clean, they're treacherous."
In that case, the student might want to apply for a temporary parking sticker and park closer to the stair to avoid having to use the stairs.
A TEMPORARY STICKER is necessary to get on campus, said Katie Sauer, who works in the traffic department. Jiahyak Boulevard and 13th Street.
"Anyone who is in need of a sticker simply has to get a doctor's signature on our application for special parking authorization." Sauer said.
When the application is properly filled out, the Parking Service at Hoch Auditorium will issue a temporary pass, she said.
Any student in need of a temporary parking sticker may contact Zimmer, 121 Strong Hall.
