Garbage truck fire put out quickly
■ FIRE: Crews extinguished
the fire by flooding the truck
By Michael Hines
Oregon Daily Emerald
Mike LaRoque’s garbage truck
turned into a “fire truck” Wednes
day. Now it is a burned heap of
metal.
“I stopped my garbage truck,
and before I could get my hand on
the door, the flames shot up the
side of the truck,” the four-month
employee of Royal Refuse said.
LaRoque said he has never
heard of a garbage truck catching
fire before.
“It happened pretty quick,” he
said.
The fire started in the truck as
LaRoque was turning onto East
16th Avenue between Ferry and
Mill Streets at about 8:30 a.m. The
fire spread to the diesel tanks and
the tires.
He stayed calm and was helpful
to the emergency crews, police
said. The fire spread to a nearby
tree, but was soon extinguished.
Nobody was injured in the fire.
Two fire trucks responded and
the fire was under control by 9
a.m. Crews were worried about
smoldering trash in the bin, and
decided to flood it with water. Of
ficials did not yet know the cause
of the fire Wednesday evening.
Royal Refuse cleaned up the
street after fire officials finished
their investigation.
One quad was evacuated on the
southeast comer of 16th Avenue
and Ferry Street when a tree on
the side of the road was ignited.
CHAD PATTESON/Emeratd
Truck driver Mike LaRoque and Eugene Deputy Fire Marshal Holly survey
the damage after the garbage truck caught fire 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Residents were soon allowed back
in their homes.
The truck was a “total loss,” a
police spokesperson said. Damage
was estimated to be worth
$50,000.
LaRoque expected to return to
work this morning.
Fees: Honors College students to pay $150
■ Continued from Page 1
They will be charged $50 per
term.
Honors College Director David
Jacobs said because of the small
class sizes, Honors College class
es are more expensive to run.
“In order to have those classes
of 25 or less and not have the oth
er students pay,” Jacobs said,
“those students who benefit must
pay the cost.”
Current Honors College stu
dents will not be affected by the
fee. Only incoming freshmen and
future Honors College students
will be subject.
Finally, University students
will pay $15.25 per term during
the year to pay for the Esslinger
renovation. This fee is in addition
to the incidental fee increase.
This budget was presented to
OSSHE by Bill Anslow, the vice
chancellor for finance and admin
istration. Anslow met with Chan
cellor Joe Cox, University Presi
dent Dave Frohnmayer and
students to come to a conclusion
about the budget proposal.
Tuition for undergraduate resi
dents increased 3.1 percent to
$3,648 while nonresidents will
pay $12,099. Graduate residents
tuition increased 4.4 percent to
$6,150 while nonresidents will
pay $10,449. Resident graduate
students in the College of Busi
ness Administration must add a
$300 fee to their tuition fee and
nonresidents must add $750.
Law School residents will pay
$10,050 after an increase of 10.6
percent. Nonresidents had a tu
ition increase of less than one per
cent and will pay $13,688.
Unger said he is not alarmed by
the tuition increases. He views
the instructional freeze as a sym
bol of future good news for higher
education.
“Last year was great,” Unger
said, “and I think this next year
will be even better.”
