I II fl ft Page 4 'Good Driving Should Challenge Students1 Chief Of State Safety Patrol Urges Observation Of Traffic Regulations "It is a challenge to be a eood driver," Col. C. J. Sanders, chief of the Nebraska State Safety Patrol, said in a Daily Nebraskan interview Thursday. "Student dfivers can answer this challenge through obeying the state rules and regulations." Col. Sanders urged student drivers to put as much into their driving as they put In if they were .participating in an important football or basketball game. He emphasized that the student must not only work on it to the best of his abilities, but he must also obey the regulations of the game in order to be an asset to either the football team or the team of student drivers, In order to acquaint prospective dnvers with the state rules and regulations regarding motor vehicle operation, the state high way patrol has introduced a high school driver-training program. Through this program, students ore taught to recognize the re sponsibility of the driver and are shown the possibilities of acci dents In the situations they, as envers, will face "Although the young driver has all the faculties necessary to be a good driver, many of them lack good judgment and have little ex perience," stated Capt. Owen H. Witt, direotor of safety education of the State Safety Patrol. He added that these two points and a third proper attitudes are what the Safety Patrol have tried Legislators Heartily Approve Improvements Following a personal tour of the University agricultural col lege, members of the Legislature's Budget Committee have given hearty approval to the improve ments made there. Sen. Arthur Carmody, chair man of the committee, said that because Nebraska is an agricul tural state, money spent at the school "will be returned many fold." The improvement made at the school, he said, makes the school's financial requests justi fied. Only a small amount of the University's request for increased funds will go toward advance ment of the work being done at the college. A member of the committee, Sen. Lester Anderson of Aurora, said that the 1.1 mill levy has "done wonders" for the Ag Col lege. Sen. Otto Liebers, himself a dairyman, had great praise for the work being done at the dairy barns.

"In making the nVinnmtrnnh cabinet." he smilingly explains, "I used every joint in the book." The project, compieieu in his spare time, took about one month to finish. Hoover's most recent project has been the transforming of a stnnrinrd uDrieht Dlano into a low spinet. By notching out the front of the piano top and covering with a mirror the dbck nan con taining the strings, he created the Illusion of shortness without dis turbing the tone and resonance of the laree Diano.

"After all, 1 couldn't lose prestige by letting her put up our shelves with a hairpin and a rock!" Last year, Hoover found time between woodworking to get bitten by the camera bug. He purchased a camera because he saw his children growing up and didn't want to forget what they were like as youngsters. He wanted to freeze the important moments with pictorial records; but, he chuckles, "Instead of merely getting my feet wet, I got into it up to my neck!" Equipped with complete photo graphic equipment, he specializes in arresting designs, Character studies, the dramatic play of shadows, and scenes In nature. His photographs have developed from casual snaps to studied por traits requiring considerable time and skill.
