By a Kansan reporter
Diwali, one of the most celebrated festivals in India, has religious, social and fiscal significance for its observers.
Rominder Singh, president of KU India Club, said the celebration, which is comparable to the Christmas and New Year's celebrations in the Christian tradition, was open to anyone who wished to attend. The calendar observance of Diwali was Nov. 9.
Tickets to Diwali Night are available at the SUA box office or from
Singh, who may be reached at 841-9906. Ticket prices are $6 for KU India Club members and $8 for non-members who buy tickets in advance. Non-member tickets will cost $9 at the door.
The festival will feature traditional Indian food, which will be catered by Mother India Restaurant of Kansas City.
Singh said Diwali is celebrated differently in various parts of India, and all of the cultures of India would be represented at tomorrow's celebration. There are many Indian legends about Diwali, and for all Indians it is a time to celebrate the beginning of a new year with food, gifts and friendship he added.
Soda machines can kill says one Army doctor
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Soda machines that tip over when rocked by people wanting a free drink or their money back can mainm or kill and should be fixed so they won't fall, an Army doctor said yesterday.
In a study published in last Friday's Journal of the American Medical Association, Michael Cosio of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington documented 11 deaths from falling soda machines.
One victim was found pinned to a wall with the soda machine resting on his neck. Death was presumed to be due to suffocation. Other victims were either crushed to death or asphyxiated.
"If you look at it from the victims' standpoint, if they get hurt if a machine lands on them, they have a 20 to 25 percent chance that they get
killed." Cosio said.
killed. Costa said.
Changes are needed to safeguard the public, he said. A spokesman for the Consumer Product Safety Commission said the agency is investigating the problem.
"Few people would believe that a soda vending machine can be tipped over or that anyone would be foolish enough to even try to tip such a machine," Cosio wrote in the study! "Not only can these machines be tipped over, but they can injure and even kill."
Cosio looked into accidents involving 15 men at military installations overseas from June to September, and four were killed, and 12 required hospitalization.
A follow-up investigation of 32 additional men, including some civilians, documented eight more deaths, he said.
