Drive Carefully— Don't Be A Statistic
Don't kill yourself.
Don't kill yourself. Thanksgiving vacation starts Tuesday. You probably will be going home to visit your folks, but regardless of where you go you undoubtedly will be in a car part of the time.
Try to drive more carefully than usual. Take just a little more time to get where you are going, so you won't spoil your holiday by getting yourself killed.
There is more than an even chance that one of you who are reading this editorial at this moment—you, sitting there in the library, or you, having a coke at the Union, or you, on your way to another class—will be dead when classes begin next Monday.
You've just finished reading the paragraph above, and you're thinking it's a good idea to warn others, but, of course, nothing will happen to you. We sincerely hope you are right. But we also, and just as sincerely, doubt it.
You are just plain egotistical if you think you are the one person in the entire world who has some sort of Divine guidance to protect you from harm. What have you ever done to warrant such protection? Th eanswer is nothing, so don't expect any more protection than the next guy.
You don't think you will be in a wreck. That's fine. Neither did any of the 1,235,000 who were killed or maimed last year in automobile accidents. What right have you to think you are immune, when traffic accidents kill so indiscriminately? Don't be a chump.
Maybe you won't be killed in a wreck. Maybe you'll only be injured. Perhaps you'll get some satisfaction from escaping death, from only having a steering-post rammed into your guts, or having your face chopped to pieces by glass, or feeling the bones in an arm or leg snapped like sticks.
Sure, there is a chance you will have an accident and not even be injured. You won't suffer physically, but you will go through a mental Hell thinking of the people who were injured because of you.
Every year thousands of news stories and editorials are written telling of deaths and injuries caused by reckless driving. Thousands of pictures reveal the gruesome details. You see them and probably turn to the comics or the sports page. You are not impressed.
We suggest that you stop and take a good, long look at the next serious accident you see. The real thing is much more impressive than any number of words or pictures. Nothing is quite so shocking as the sight of a dead but still warm body. Look at the mutilated bodies of the injured, and listen to the strange sounds they make. If that doesn't impress you, you are a fool.
Be realistic about it--you probably have done some of the same stupid stunts that caused those wrecks.
We are asking you, yes, even pleading with you to be careful when you drive. When classes begin Monday we want you to be a student and not a statistic. Jack Zimmerman.
A poker friend we know has been explaining this disarmament business to us. "The Russians." saves he, "offer to play with us if we'll pay off without ever seeing what cards they hold. We offer to play with them if they'll let us deal ourselves the good cards first."

Unusual Coincidence Dept.
From the Nov. 10 New Yorker's
(From an address delivered by Deane W. Malott at his installation, Sept. 19, 1951, as president of Cornell university)
Emerson . . . best stated the mood of America, at its youthful best, when he asked, "If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution? When the old and new stand side by side and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are stimulated by fear and hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?"
If our wish is Emerson's we have it today. The trouble is that for a number of people, the future is a bit too rich in alarming possibilities, and when they take the old and the new side by side, they would much prefer the old. The fearful ones who hate and condemn the liberalism in our colleges never suggest any additions to the store of human knowledge . . . They want us to leave out all that is interesting and vital, the great current social issues . . . on which they wish neither professor nor students to take sides. Such a course would not mean free minds. We cannot be free and at the same time preserve ourselves only amid "the gentility of the obvious and the tedium of the uncontroversial." Young people, at least, cannot be expected to reserve their greatest enthusiasm for the status quo.

"Funny Coincidence Department"
It is Emerson who states the mood of America at its youthful best, when he asks, "If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution? When the old and the new stand side by side and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?"
If our wish is Emerson's, we have it today. The trouble is that for many people the future is a bit too rich and alarming possibilities, and when they take the old and the new side by side, they much prefer the old. The fearful ones who hate and condemn the liberalism in our colleges are more anxious to prohibit ideas than to make them grow. They want us to leave out the interesting and vital parts of education, the . . . current social issues . . . and they do not wish professors or students to take sides. They want us to be careful what we say. We must not offend anyone. We must preserve the gentility of the obvious, and the tedium of the uncontroversial. We must reserve our wildest enthusiasm for the status quo.

Flood Relief Versus Football
Nov. 16, 1951
As a former Greek who is now a Lawrence housewife (and student's mate), I feel justified in giving a loud Bronx cheer to the eager publicity hound who told the Lawrence Daily Journal-World that: "KU students assisting North Lawrence residents with flood rehabilitation work have been handicapped by lack of time and inclement weather."
However, the weather on Saturday,
Nov. 10 was lovely; no doubt the football game kept those same 600 charitable souls from having any
Perhaps we should be very grateful to the "600 members of KU fraternities who worked all day on Saturday, Oct. 6 in a driving rain."
more time for the project. And Miss Thompson wonders about the program's "apparent failure!!!"
An Expensive Coffee Hour
Joyce B. Jaffe Lawrence, Kan
Inflation in food prices has hit students at the University of Hawaii. Coffee-drinking students were reportedly hardest hit as their drink went to 10 cents a cup.
Strengthen Student Governm't
Several changes were embodied in the student body constitution at the University of North Dakota this year in an effort to "put the 'govern' into student government." Major changes were broader representation on the student council, expanded council control of student boards and committee and removal of council members because of absenteeism.

Reach Danger Point In World Tension
Paris—U.(P.)—U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson warned the United Nations today that world tension has reached a "dangerous point" and offered the West's step-by-step disarmament program as a way back to peace.
"The conflict in the world is rising to an alarming state," Acheson said. "Tension in the world has already reached a dangerous point. There is actual fighting in Malaya, Indo-China and Korea, and this is certainly not a good prospect for peace."

British Troops Patrol Suez
Acting Foreign Minister Ibrahim Farag said the weekend fighting constituted "a state of war" which threatened not only the peace in Egypt and the Middle East, but "of the whole world."
Cairo, Egypt—U.P.British troops maintained law and order today in the Suez Canal zone city of Ismailia in which 12 persons were killed in weekend gun-fights between British troops and Egyptian police.
Flood Poses Famine Threat
Rome, Italy—(U.P.)—U.S. and British air force planes joined Italian aircraft today in mercy flights over flood-swept Northern Italy to drop emergency food supplies to famine-threatened towns.

More than 100 persons have been killed in the two weeks of storms and floods in the area and approximately $330,000,000 in damages has been caused, according to unofficial estimates. The floods are the worst on record in Northern Italy.
Mexicans Invade U.S. Industry
Mexican workers, after being "enticed" over the border, find their farm wages are not "even enough to buy a starvation diet," and as a result. the Wetbacks head North for the high industrial wages.
Washington—(U.P.)—Mexican "Wetbacks," who cross the border illegally to work on American farms, are "invading" Midwest industries, according to AFL National Farm Union president H. L. Mitchell.
The revised report was expected to be sent Washington for approval because the original statement was based in part on "unscientific" evidence. "It has not been decided whether the new report will be released here or in Washington, or at both points simultaneously," a spokesman for Ridgway's supreme headquarters said.
Radicals Charge Poll Fraud
Ridgway formally confirmed on Saturday that the Communists had committed mass atrocities against UN prisoners, but expressed regret at the way in which James M. Hanley, chief war crimes investigator had made his report public.
Tokyo—(U.P).—Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's staff was reported revising downward today an Eighth Army report that the Communists have murdered 13,400 United Nations war prisoners, including 6,270 Americans.
Washington --- (U.P) -- "Fantastic" new atomic weapons are in America's arsenal and should be used in Korea, according to Sen. Edward C. Johnson.
The Colorado Democrat, a member of the Joint Congressional Atomic Energy committee, said that "if we have fantastic new weapons, we ought to use them on the targets we have." He added that he thinks the United States now possesses such weapons.
Use of New Weapons Urged
May Lower Atrocity Figures
Buenos Aires, Argentina—(U.P.)-The opposition Radical party has charged the government of President Juan D. Person with "fraud and intimidation during the campaign" for last Sunday's presidential elections.
They said the modified martial law imposed on Argentina following an abortive revolt Sept. 28 against Person "made it impossible to carry out the extensive campaign which would have been possible if there had been respect for the political and social rights of the citizens."
