Lawrence C of C To Open Drive On Accidents
Wrecked cars will be placed along the Lawrence streets by the Junior Chamber of Commerce during Safety Week. Sept. 15 to 22, to show where accidents have occurred.
This is part of a campaign against accidents in the street, home, shop, and school which is being carried on by all business, professional, and civic organizations of Lawrence and Douglas county. They are cooperating to form the Permanent Safety council which has outlined many additional measures to control accidents.
The council said that the increasing number of students who drive automobiles has aggravated the traffic problem in the city.
Students A Problem
Claud R. McCamment, safety engineer of the State Highway commission and Charles E. Schaeffer, assistant safety engineer will speak with the aid of films to civic clubs and students in the city schools during Safety Week. They will emphasize points such as the accidental traffic deaths of 57 World War II veterans within the state of Kansas during the last year.
Scouts To Help
Boy Scouts of Lawrence will analyze pedestrian habits, checking the number of jaywalkers. They also plan to assist state highway troopers and city and county police officers in various projects during Safety Week.
E. J. Logsdon, teacher of auto mechanics at Liberty Memorial High school, will conduct a check of traffic at the high school over a period of two or three days during the flu season will be conducted with a similar check made by high school students a few years ago and it is expected to show the increase in traffic and the necessity for more careful driving.

Negro's Tribute Is Fondest Memory
Nashville, Tenn.—(UP)—Samuel Cardinal Striking, nite of Nashville, was asked to recall his fondest memory. This is what he said:
"Upon my return from the ceremony in which I was elevated to the College of Cardinals, I was traveling down a Chicago street when an aged Negro stepped up to my car and said, 'Mister Cardinal, we sure are glad to have you back home.' That was one of the finest tributes ever paid me."

University engineering students will be able to take more credit hours of non-technical subjects during their four year courses.
Engineers Get Culture, Less Math
-
The action by the School of Engineering faculty brings the number of hours devoted to humanistic studies to 17 percent. A survey of 58 leading engineering schools showed an average of 17.3 per cent.
K. U. students will take 13 of the 24 non-technical hours of English, public speaking and economics. Recommended for the remaining 11 hours are philosophy, psychology
Western civilization or social science survey.
The additional non-technical time will be channeled into the humanities by faculty advisors. The time becomes available at the expense of engineering subjects. Some will be discontinued and others shortened.
In each succeeding year it more clearly appears that our democratic principle needs no apology.—Grover Cleveland.
