On the Road. . . Think, Drive Safely
By GARY LACEY
Nebraskan Staff Writer
It was a Sunday night The roads were slippery,
visibility limited.
Suddenly the car carrying the students skidded to the
ther side of the road. The driver lost control. It plowed
into an oncoming semi, pushing both off the road. When
the screams and grating of metal against steel and flesh
had stopped, the semi lay a top the car in the ditch.
Capt. 0. H. Witt, chief of safety, training and educa
tion of the Nebraska Safety Patrol, recalled the accident
described above as one of the most gruesome involving
college students.
Last year's national traffic fatality record stood at 457.
Nebraska chalked np 3 deaths, 110 injuries and 193 acci
dents. University students are headed home for Thanksgiv
ing '63. Be careful!

and the other, the elimination

building.
Cook Company's low base
bid of $834,456 was $9,300
less than the Olson bid. But
Olson and two other bidders
did submit bids on the two
alternates.
Business Manager Carl
Donaldson said the Univer

more time to consider the
validity of the Olson Com
pany's claim.
Tbe Board did award eon
tracts for two other projects.
One was the razing of foor
buOdings which were former

said Thomas Ryan, supervisor of the Nebraska Accidents
Records Bureau.
He said that the accidents involved six traffic viola
tions, numerous infractions of safe driving practices, a
lack of consideration for the other driver, irresponsibility
and the inability to adapt themselves to driving conditions.
Of 293 traffic accidents In Nebraska in 1960, some 104
of those killed were either of high school or college age,
according to the Accident Record Bureau.
Nebraska recorded 11,332 traffic injuries in I960, and
5,138 of the individuals maimed or injured were unde 25
years of age.
Accident Frequency
Over the past nve years, Ryan said that in Nebraska
there is one accident every twenty minutes, one person
injured every hour, one person killed every 27 hours and
a $135,000 economic loss every day.
Capt Witt said that speed is a major killer, with rear
end collisions figuring into the totals. A second killer is
overloading of cars with luggage, books and people making
clear vision to the rear impossible.
Passing, Alcohol
Tbe other two killers are improper passing and alco
hol," Witt said.
Alcohol, he said, is not the killer. Certainly it plays a
major role in accidents, but it is tbe irresponsible driver
who consumes liquor who is the killer.
To warn students of traffic hazards, the Lincoln Jour
nal said editorially: "Patience is a lesson all drivers should
leans; patience to waste a few minutes behind a slower
vehicle; patience to drive at a safe speed on a hazardous
road, and patience to extend tbe time of arrival."
Before Thangsglving last year, Col. C. J. Sanders said,
"The responsibility for safe driving rests with the individ
ual as well as law enforcement officers."
Advice to Public
He advised the public (students included) to:
learn weather outlook in areas in which you intend to
travel.
adjust speed to road, weather and traffic conditions.
lengthen distance between vehicles on slippery sur
faces and to begin braking sooner.
pass ethers only at times and places where there is
no doubt to your ability to complete the pass in absolute
safety.
Ryan stated seven commandments of safety guar
anteed to bring tbe college student back to the University
on Monday.
(11 Don't drive when sleepy.
(21 Drink, if you wish, but don't drink and drive.
(3) Don't daydream. Concentrate on the job at hand
that is getting back safely.
(4) Start your trip early to avoid rushing.
(5) Remember that the speed limit is not always the
safe limit.
i6 Thanksgiving day is a day of joy, not sorrow; a
day for giving thanks, not remorse.
(7) Tbe choice is yours to make. You can display the
proof of maturity and responsibility you claimed for your
self on the day you received a driver's license.

This is looking toward the

which does not now exist in

If USDA interest in the
