Crossing
Continued from p. 1
Hempin said the railroads in Douglas County paid half of that 10 percent.
Cutter said that this year the department would review the safety of crossings ranked 2,085 to 2,199 in the state, including the four county crossings.
He said improvements would be completed about 18 months after the reviews. Installing signal lights and installing should cost about $120,000, he said.
A KU student and a KU graduate, both of whom came close to being killed by crossing, said they thought the crosses itself had caused the students' deaths.
Jeff VanCoevern, Lawrence resident and 1970 graduate, said that in October 1973, he was approaching the east in a 1968 Oldsmobile 442.
"It was hazy, and I remember seeing the pole light at Laptad's farm, and then I saw all the lights from the city," he said.
He couldn't distinguish the train lights from the other lights, and he drove into the train as it passed, he said.
The train flipped his car three times and drove it about 45 yards down the tracks. VanCoevern said he walked away from his smashed car with a bruised head and cracked ribs.
He said he was accused of racing the train to the crossing, just as the four students were.
"They weren't trying to race that train. They crested that hill and never saw it," VanCoever said. "Go out there some night and just drive up there slow. You come up pretty quick to that intersection. And if you don't know it's coming up, there's no way you're going to see it."
Steven Hicks, Lawrence freshman, said that in the summer he was approaching the crossing from the west while another car was approaching it from the east.
"I looked both ways, didn't see anything and started navigating the tracks, because you have to navigate them, they're so bad," he said. "Then I caught it in my periphery vision — a really, really bright light"
"Then it all came together, that the other car was waiting for the train, and the train was about to eat me. I accelerated fast, got off the tracks."
Hicks said the crossing was dangerous because of fast trains, bumpy tracks and a road that sloped down on each side of the tracks, making headlights of cars opposite each other shine into drivers' eyes.
"You know, it is dangerous, and you don't have to be drinking or racing the train to get killed at that crossing," Hicks said.

Tuition
Burris said the proposal would be presented to the state Legislature with the stipulation that the addition of money be given to the schools.
"If we can't spend the extra
money, I'm accomplished
nothing," Butres said.
Eddie Watson, co-director of the Associated Students of Kansas, said the Regents should not raise tuition if
it wasn't clear that the extra money would be given to the universities.
"Students don't mind paying higher tuition if the money comes back to KU," Watson said. "But that hasn't been proved yet."
Burris said the Legislature was more accepting of peer-based budget requests because of Gov. Mike Hayden's support for the plan.
