Accidents Do Happen
By Ann Moyer
Accidents do happen,
even on the University cam
pus. Figures compiled from
Student Health's new sys
tem of keeping track of all
causes and effects of acci
dents (on campus) show
that almost 10 per cent of
the accidents among stu
dents lead to hospitaliza
tion. Ed Simpson, public
health engineer, explained
the program was new this
year and would help to an
alyze and reduce accidents
in some areas.
Rough-housing
The accidents are classi
fled as falls, athletics, auto, '
laboratory and miscellane
ous. The miscellaneous cate
gory leads the list.
This classification in
cludes everything from
stubbed toes to bumped
heads. Simpson said a great
percentage of these acci
dents were caused by care
less rough-housing.
"It is hard to cut down
on these accidents until stu
dents realize the danger In

Spring Is
volved with this kind of
fun," Simpson commented.
Second on the list of ac
cidens is athletics. This ca
tegory is divided into three
sections: intramural, physi
cal education and unorgan
ized sports. Intramural
ranks highest of the three,
particularly in the fall dur
ing the football season.
Simpson said this was one
area where accidents could
be reduced by requiring pro
tective pads and taped ank
les for all players'.
Falls Numerous
Falls also account for a
good number of the acci
dents, especially these last
two months when the ice .
and snow has been so bad
on .the sidewalks. Here
again, the accidents of this
type pan be reduced, Sim
son said, by use of cinder
and salt in icy spots.
In areas where accidents
are high, the Health center
runs a more complete an
alysis to discover the type
of Injury incurred thus pro
