Driving Instructor Urges Safe Attitude
"The proper attitude is the keynote of safe usage of our streets and sidewalks on the campus," according to Fred Henderson, in- structor in the driver education program.
"Speed and not paying attention to business go hand in hand to make the biggest hazard on the campus," he said. "Drivers should not only watch the cars in front and back of them, but also the persons on the sidewalks."
Although there have been no traffic deaths on the campus there have been many near accidents.
Mr. Henderson gives the following traffic rules for pedestrians and drivers.
For pedestrians: 1. Cross streets

at the crosswalks painted there for that purpose. 2. Think about crossing safely, not quickly. 3. Think about the business at hand. Do not "drag" across the street. 4. Stand on the curbing and not in the street while waiting to cross. 5. Avoid zig-zagging between cars.
For drivers: 1. Know the rules to be observed by pedestrians and cyclists. 2. Be alert to possible emergencies. 3. Stop at crosswalks and proceed slowly through them. 4. Don't pass cars at intersections or crosswalks. 5. Give the driver behind you ample warning that you are going to do something different from the routine flow of traffic by proper signaling.
The signals designated by the Kansas laws are to be observed on the campus, he said. The arm extended straight out indicates a left turn, up indicates a right turn, and down indicates that the driver is going to momentarily disrupt traffic. The latter includes slowing, stopping, pulling into or away from curbs.
