PROCLAMATION
As we approach the end of another year and the beginning of a new one,
it behooves all of us to assess our successes and failures.
Man's determination to delve more deeply into the secrets of nature has
brought him the knowledge to extend human life through control of disease
but has also given him the power to shorten it by the unwise use of nature's
power. Man's new-found control over nature has been harnessed in machinery
such as the motor vehicle which must be used with the highest degree of
caution and discretion.
The death toll on our highways has reached tragic proportions resulting
in an economic loss to the state which exceeds the cost of state government
and creates a staggering moral and social impact upon family life.
The greatest resource of society is human life. Its preservation and
development is the God-given responsibility of all of us. Young human life
is especially precious. During the coming holidays, traffic will be multiplied
by the thousands of college students returning to their homes. Every automobile
moving on our highways is a possible killer.
Many potential leaders of society have lost their lives upon our roads and
streets during the past year. Steve Cass, of Ravenna, is but one example of
young leadership which this state cannot afford to lose. As a leader in the
Innocents Society and in the University of Nebraska, there lay before him a
limitless future which his untimely death Has erased from the history of our
state. As Governor of the State of Nebraska, I wish to commend the Innocents
Society for inaugurating a program of safety. This approach of inviting young
people to mobilize in an all out safety education movement can be a living
memorial to tha memory of Steven Cass.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Frank B. Morrison, Governor of the State of
Nebraska, do hereby endorse and support the Innocents Society's safety program
in the name of the State of Nebraska and call for the cooperation of all of our
people to end this loss of human life upon our highways.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the
ijf 5eat Seal of the State of Nebraska to be affixed.

Ask for Safety
During Vacation
By TOM MeGIXXIS
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Five people died on Nebraska highways last year during
the Christmas New Year's holiday season.
During the past ten years an average of IS people have
died on state highways during the ten day period from Dec
21-3L
A program encouraging Uni
versirv students to THINK
SAFETY is being initiated by
the cooperation of the Univer
sity and Gov. Frank B. Mor
rison in the hopes that Univer
sity students won't be part of
the statistics above during tbe
holiday season.
On Thursday and Friday,
traffic safety films will be
shown at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
in the Student Union crib. A
demolished car will be on dis
play outside the Union as part
of the program.
Banners outside and inside
the Union reminding students
of traffic safety, "Lights on
for Safety" signs, and large
signs on major campus exits
reminding homeward bound
students of highway hazards
are included ia tbe program. ,
Literature, such as "One
" way ticket, don't let this be !
yours," will be distributed to
students mdividually and to
living units sometime this
of Selleck Quadrangle will re,
mind students on Friday to
be careful driving home and
returning to the University.
The University Division of
Student affairs will issne traf
fic safety announcements to
be read in classes throughout
the different departments Fri
day. A resolution stressing traf
fic safety will be brought up
in the Student Council today.
Tbe University public rela
tions department will i a e
television radio, and newspa
per announcements during va
cation and before students be
gin returning to school in co
operation with the Think
Safety program.
Gov. Frank Morrison has
issued a proclamation endors
ing the program and stressing
safe driving.
John Nolon, Innocents presi
dent, commented, "If the pro
gram causes each student to
week in conjunction with the really think about traffic safe
program. : ty at least once it will bs
The loud speakers on top 1 worthwhile.'
Students Are Susceptible
To Auto Fatalities-Ryan
"Nebraska will have over 400 traffic fatalities this
year if the traffic death rate during the holiday season
this year matches that of past years' said Thomas Ryan
of the Nebraska State Accident Bureau.
Ryan said '"Accidents don't happen. They are caused.
He added that it could not be emphasized too much that
University students are just as susceptible to accidents as
other drivers are.
Students quite often get a late start and are ia a
harry te get home. Ryan pointed out that if they wocld
nly think, they would realize that only very few minutes
can be saved by driving at a dangerous rate of cpeed.
Another reason for students being prone to accidents
Ryan gave was that they are often tired after the last
week of school and tests and they don't have the fast
reflexes they tftmir they do. Students going any distanca
should take rm out tor plenty of coffee breaks to relax
and rest, he said.
According to Ryan, students often have the attitude
that "It couldat happen to roc" Confidence is fine, but
drivers should sot have too much, be commented.
He said students going home often have their cars
so heavily loaded with clothes and other students that
rear vision is either poor or lacking entirely.
Ryan said that a really safe driver is a "defensive
driver. He is always on the guard against what other
drivers may do and avoids Jams which require fast reaction.
