Driver rams toll booth dies after truck ignites
The Associated Press
BONNER SPRINGS — A truck driver was killed yesterday evening after his truck rammed a toll booth on Interstate 70 and caught fire.
The driver, who was not identified, was traveling west out of Kansas City near Bonner Springs. Witnesses told authorities that the driver did not slow down as he approached the tootb, said Peggy VanderMeyden, a dispatcher with the Kansas Turnpike Authority.
The tractor-trailer hit a crash wall near the toll booth. The trailer] jumped and hit the canopy of the toll booth, the truck stayed on the road, she said.
The driver was pinned in the truck.
Passers-by were unable to rescue him
because of heat from the fire, Vander Meyden said. Rescue workers had not removed his body two hours after the accident occurred at 5:15 p.m.
A toll collector was injured when part of the tooll booth hit him on the head. He was taken to the hospital, but his injuries did not appear to be serious, she said.
The fire destroyed both booths that take tolls from drivers heading west on 1-70. Westbound lanes of the interstate were closed, but drivers traveling east were able to use the interstate. VanderMeyden said it would be several hours before the westbound interstate was opened.
The driver was carrying general freight, but it was not clear whom he worked for, she said.
Culture groups say Senate being unfair
continued from Page 6.
these groups are not worthy of funding. However, these same groups represent exactly 5 percent of the student body."
Gerald Harris, director of international student services, said the students he had spoken with thought that the comparison was not only discriminatory but inflammatory as well and meant to inflame people's emotions against international students.
Harris said that he was seeing a pattern of discrimination in Senate this year that he had not seen before and that he already had dealt with half a dozen student complaints about Senate.
"They're incensed," Harris said. "They really felt like that statement was a slap in the face."
Harris blamed Senate's actions on ignorance and said that the senators needed to learn more about international students if Senate was to represent the student body fairly. KU has about 2,200 international students and 25 international student organizations, he said.
Garlinghouse said that he did not want Senate to stop financing international student organizations and that he would be in favor of increasing their funding if the University and all its students benefited from the activity.
"I would argue that when we fund every different little minority group, that rather than promoting cultural awareness, we're promoting separatism." Garlinghouse said. "I have nothing against international students. And if they think I'm a bigot, that's not substantiated by any fact. In no way, shape or form am I racist."
He said that some senators' disinterested reactions to requests for money from international student groups showed that the student body generally lacked interest in international festivals. Such sentiment demonstrates a need for cultural awareness, he said.
James Miller, president of the Japan-America Club, said he thought Garlinghouse's column was a joke. He said he could not think someone in Garlinghouse's position would say what he did.
"It's just blatant racism, and it it's just dumbfounding that I came from our Student Senate, especially from our student body president," Miller said.
Miller said his group had presented Senate with a reasonable request, but his group, like other international student groups that had requested funds, was thoroughly grilled. Miller said the senators needed to show more compassion toward these groups and more respect for their fellow students.
"I think we need to look more closely at what the goal of Student Senate is," Miller said. "Maybe it would be better just to disband Senate and return the $25 activity fees to the students and let them do with it as they please."
At the end of Garlinghouse's column, he invited students to call the Senate office and discuss the issues with the senators. But Garlinghouse said he had not received many calls. He did, however, receive a letter from Harris.
Harris suggested that Senate use the International Student Association as an umbrella organization to distribute $20,000 from student activity fees among international student groups. Kansas State University student fees are allocated that way, he said.
Garlinghouse applauded the idea and said that senator Martin Shirososhita, former ISA president, already was working on a similar plan. He said he expected that the ISA would be allocated a large sum of money during Senate budget hearings in the spring for distribution among the groups next fall.
