BICYCLE CHECK-A campus policeman at the traffic control station by the Chi Omega fountain checks one student's bicycle license as another student speeds by on the way to classes.
Warning Increases Bicycle Registration
The campus police are pleased by the number of students registering their bicycles, Joe Skillman, chief of the KU traffic and security police, said this week.
Les Blevins, a local bicycle dealer, estimates there are between 1,000 and 1,500 bicycles on the KU campus. Judging from his figures, less than half the bicycles owned by KU students are registered.
Students were responding to a report on Oct. 20, telling about Lawrence and KU bicycle regulations, Skillman said. By Oct. 28, 148 students had bought a 25 cent bicycle license required by a Lawrence ordinance. Cyclists can be fines $25 for cycling on an unlicensed bicycle. Since school began, 319 bicycles have been registered.
THE LICENSE AIDS police in locating owners of lost or stolen bicycles when they are recovered. Injured cyclists can also be identified by the license.
William Cox, chief of the Lawrence police department, said he had ordered one thousand new licenses. "The city loses money on them at 25 cents a piece," he said. But he was opposed to charging fifty cents. "Too many poor families might not be able to register their bicycles," he said.
Police observed that cyclists were riding more safely too. However, one accident involving a bicycle and a parked car did occur in front of Strong Hall Thursday night. Dick Carlisle, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, was riding an unlighted bicycle when he collided with a car owned by Sydney Radinovsky, an entomology research associate.
POLICE REPORTS show that relatively few bicycle mishaps occur on the campus. Nevertheless, students are frequently hospitalized with injuries suffered in cycle wrecks on the steep grades around the campus. In these accidents, the small braking surface and inherent instability of bicycles contribute to the danger.
Carlisle was treated for a cut on the shoulder.
Lewis Linzell, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, was asked to make a theoretical calculation of the bicycle's braking distance.
Taking the reaction time to be one second, and using an arbitrary friction coefficient, he concluded it would take a bicycle traveling five miles an hour about nine and a half feet to stop. At 10 mph it would take 20 feet, and at 20 mph it would take 50 feet.
At 20 mph, it takes a car 45 feet to stop.
Linzell said the band brake is not

as efficient under wet conditions as under dry ones. This brake grips the rim of the bicycle, and when the rim is wet, the brake slips.
Jay Strayer, committee chairman, said that no major automobile or pedestrian accidents have occurred since the booths were opened last year, according to Joe G. Skillman, campus police chief.
There have been some abuses of the traffic booths. Students have attempted to enter the campus by saying they had a doctor's appointment or needed to go to the hospital.
Students may be passed by the policeman if they are moving equipment onto the campus.
Traffic problems involved in picking up dates at Carruth and O'Leary, temporary parking permits and parking problems at Ellsworth are also being discussed by the committee.

Ali Mouhine, Casablanca, Morocco senior, said that he believed that the dispute would end in a meeting and an eventual agreement. He said that the dispute is a political one between Morocco's King Hassan II and Algeria's Ben Bella and is not one which is felt, to any great degree by the masses of people in either of the countries.
"The border between Morocco and Algeria has always been indefinite. The disputed area has never been formally surveyed. When Morocco became a protectorate of France, the borders of the country was still indefinite—a line drawn on a map," Mouhsine said.
While the border was ambiguous, there were certain outposts in the frontier area which were clearly understood to be Moroccan and certain other outposts which were, equally clearly understood to be Algerian, he said.
KU's only Moroccan student said last night that he was not deeply worried about the outcome of the present border dispute between Morocco and Algeria.

Conflict on Algerian-Moroccan Border Is Political, Says KU Moroccan Student
"After Morocco achieved its independence from France and when Algeria was fighting for its independence, it was realized that the indefinite borders would eventually pose a problem for both countries. With this in mind, the rules of both countries met in Rabat (Morocco). It was there decided that the two governments would form a council to decide exactly where the border between the two countries was. Because of the revolution occurring within Algeria at the time, it was decided to postpone the meeting of the council until the Algerian government became definite," Mouhisine said.
"Many of the Moroccan outposts which are now in dispute were, as a matter of fact, used for training of Algerian troops during the Algerian war of independence with France." Mouhuis said.
The differences in the areas are almost entirely political; the differences between the people themselves are not great. he said.
In past years, the people of Morocco and Algeria had no particular feeling of nationalism at all. The separation of the countries from France gave rise to a feeling of national unity to the tribes in these
countries much as the American Revolution created a feeling of unity in the colonies of America, Mouhsine said.
When the Algerian war ended, certain situations prevented the meeting over the undecided border. Then dissention in Algeria threatened Ben Bella's government and he proceeded to use the disputed border as an instrument to unite his country around him, but King Hassan refused to yield and the border war was the result, he said.
"I believe that the press has distorted the facts somewhat in reporting this dispute. An example is the importance which the press places upon ore deposits which are supposedly located in the disputed area. Even if these deposits actually exist, they are not of great importance because of the lack of equipment and engineers to mine them." Mouh-sine said.
"It is unfortunate that some will have to die because of the struggle of two systems. It is a shame that the leaders of the countries cannot be placed at the front—if Hassan or Ben Bella heard a shell whistle by their ears, you can bet there would be a meeting called promptly," Mouhuis said.
He said that the countries will probably cease fighting soon because they are economically unable
to support the war, "They have to import the bullets," he said.
"The Communists are, of course, always a threat. Any disorder is in the Communist interest," he said.
Mouhsine said that he would personally like to see both Hassan and Ben Bella replaced. He said that they represent opposite unsatisfactory extremes. Ben Bella, he said, desires a one-party system and Hassan represents a monarchy.
