    A K-State student was killed in a car accident Sunday. 
    Mauritius Meyer, freshman in biological and agricultural engineering who was known as "Mo," died from injuries sustained in an accident that occurred on Interstate 70.
    He is survived by his parents and three younger siblings. 
    Meyer was a member of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity.
    Members of the fraternity plan to set up a scholarship in his name starting next fall, said Mark Smith, senior in physics and president of Delta Sigma Phi.
    "He was such a great guy," Smith said. "He was just so easygoing. He was a really smart kid, he did great in class and school and got along great with everybody — friends with everybody."
    The Office of Student Life and University Counseling Services are available to speak with those affected by Meyer's death, said Heather Reed, director of student life.
    Pat Bosco, vice president of student life, will speak at the funeral.
    A visitation will be at 9:30 a.m. on Friday at the First United Methodist Church in Leavenworth, Kan. The funeral will follow at 11 a.m.
