From Our News Services
Athina Darr-Kumar, 28, wife of an assistant professor at KU, was killed yesterday in a car-truck collision on U.S. 40 west of Lawrence.
Highway patrolmen said Darr-Kumar's carveered across the center line and struck the front of a truck loaded with sand. The truck, operated by Earl Stowe, 420 North St., went out of control and struck the Allan Kirby home on Route 4.
Stowe escaped injury. Damage to the house, which was unoccupied at the time, was estimated at between $12,000 and $15,000.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband Raj, teaches in the school.
respond to hall emergencies and act as resource people for hall residents.
The job pays for fall and spring housing costs, plus $500. To qualify, a student must be a junior, senior or graduate student with at least 40 hours of A.A., and have lived in a residential group.
HOWEVER, THE most important qualification is the ability to work with and advise people in groups, Ann Eversole, a resident of the residence halls advises, said yesterday.
Each RA is responsible for 45-75 students in an assigned area of the hall
RA applications are available in 229 and 224. Strong Hall. References are also needed for selection committees of students and staff member then interview the applicants.

think they're really able to find out anything about you that way."
TO BE A good RA, Affolter said, one should be able to articulate his point of view, have strong opinions and be difficult to manipulate.
Another RA, Paula Toppkins of Lewis Hall, said that the qualities of being open and honest are important.
If students aren't satisfied with their KA, you can tell their resident directors, who are responsible for KA.
About 65 positions are open, Eversole said, and applicants are urged to apply as many halls as they want. Applications must be returned to 220 Strong Hall by March 11.
