For Kelly Milligan, last year's student body vice president, living with a metal brace that he says looks like a television antenna is no excuse to slow down.

The brace has become the object of some good-natured humor. Milligan
"The guys in the house say I am a better basketball player now than before the injury," said Milligan, Topeka senior. "I was always a hunt-and-peck typer, so my typing wasn't hurt."
"Everyone in the house complains that I screw up their television reception when I come in the room. I have also been referred to as "the road
"I like to do normal stuff," said Milligan, who has a broken left wrist. "I don't want to sit around and be a wallflower. If I need help I will ask."
Milligan, who is now vice president of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, 1301 W. Campus Park, broke two bones in his left wrist Aug. 26 when the jeep he and three friends were in went off a narrow road to avoid an uncoming car west of Overland Park. No one else was seriously injured.
The brace, called an external fixator, was attached to his wrist to hold the bones in place so they would heal better. It is not painful and does not interfere with most activities, Milligan said.
"He teases me," Clow said. "He just tries to put it in my face to bother me."
Milligan said the brace would come off in about six weeks. And with the help of physical therapy classes, which he attends every day, he expects to regain full use of his hand.

Former student body vice president Kelly Milligan, Topeka senior, is cheerful despite the car accident that left him with a compound wrist fracture. Milligan must wear an external fixator to help the bones heal.
"One time I was standing by the wall, and a guy who was all dressed with a suit and tie on came in. I was leaning against the wall, and he took this tie of and put it on it." Milligan said pointing to the brace. "It does look like a tie rack."
Mark Pusateri, Topeka senior and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, said that immediately after the accident he was worried about Milligan, but now he and the rest of the fraternity feel free to make jokes on him.
Allison Clow, Mendham, N.J., senior and Milligan's girlfriend, said she could not stand to look at the brace.
"It's probably helped him," Pusateri said. "He likes the attention."
