Highway Authorities Advise Caution, Reasonable Speed
By RON GRANDON
Douglas county highway authorities, pointing out some of the more dangerous traffic areas around Lawrence, warned KU Relays visitors that "human failures" are responsible for most of the traffic accidents in the area.
"The bottom of the Pleasant Grove hill south of Lawrence on U.S. highway 59 is dotted with fatality signs," authorities said. "But still, drivers take this hill at speeds which show they don't believe in signs."
The junction of U.S. highways 24-40-59 just north of Lawrence also has been the scene of a few traffic fatalities in recent years.
Accident pictures at the State Highway patrol office in Lawrence show one house on top of the same hill which has been damaged twice by cars carving through the "S" curve there at speeds faster than the posted warning.
The junction has three crossings which could be dangerous at any time authorities said, but the fact remains that the only accidents that have occurred there have happened because of human negligence.
The only traffic fatality in Douglass county this year happened because of drunken driving—stupidity—the officials said.
According to statisties compiled by the highway patrol, most car wrecks occur when people are tired. Accident figures for highway K-10 south of Lawrence leading to Kansas City support this contention.
Most of the accidents on this road
have occurred on a straight stretch when people are rushing home from work—tired, but overconfident of their reaction abilities, according to the statistics.
As for speeding, highway officials said the best advice about this is the Kansas speed 'aw-w-"a reasonable and prudent speed."

They will travel to ports in Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, and Holland, and return to Norfolk Wednesday, Aug. 4. Lt. Warren G.

The second cruise will leave Norfolk July 11, go to Scotland, Ireland, France, and England, and return Sept. 3. Stewart L. Gordon, midshipman, is the only KU student assigned to this cruise and he will be accompanied by two enlisted men from here, Chief quartermaster Robert L. Soule and Yeoman first class Rex E. Rumbler.
Eighteen contract juniors on the KU program will journey to ports in Canada and Cuba starting July 19, and returning August 27. Lt. Cmdr. Leland D. Estes, assistant professor of naval science, will be in charge of midshipmen on board a cruiser in the NROTC convoy.
A fourth cruise for regular sophomores in aviation amphibious training will take 36 local students to Corpus Christi, Texas and Little Creek, Va., for a two-month course in air orientation and all phases of amphibious warfare.

Serious, Light Dramas Slated for Next Week
Two contrasting plays, "The Happy Journey" by Thornton Wilder and "No Exit" by Jean-Paul Sartre will be given by the Studio Theater at 8 p.m. next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, in Green theater.
"No Exit," the heavier of the two one-act dramas, takes place in hell—only hell in this case is a second empire drawing room. Sartre attempts to prove that hell doesn't have to be in any specific place, that life is what you make it. Hell can be found even in a drawing room if you make it that way; he asserts.
The Satrtre play originated in Paris in 1944 and ran for two years. The first production in the United States was in New York in 1946. Alec Guinness, British actor, played in the 1946 London production called "The Vicious Circle."
"The Happy Journey." the curtain raiser, is one of the plays most frequently produced in laboratory theaters. It tells the simple, unpretentious story of a family traveling on a "happy journey." Like "Our Town," another Wilder play, the set has no scenery and uses only the platform, a few chairs, and imagination to show changes in locale.
