WATCH THE CURVES-Jolene Kitlen of the University Extension Safety Center demonstrates the use of a machine similar to a car. It has a steering wheel, clutch and gear shift and is part of the equipment used in the psycho-physical testing program used by the center.
A "commentary test" will be the latest innovation of the University Extension Safety Center driving course as instruction goes into its fifth year.
Safety Driving Course Uses 'Talking' Test
Marvin Criqui, instructor of the safety center, said that during the test the student driver will tell the instructor with him exactly why he made different driving maneuvers.
We're working on an obstacle course of 15 blocks around the campus, and for each obstacle the student observes he gets points," Mr. Criqui said.
He said this feature will be an addition to a course which has 10 lessons. It is open to students, faculty members and wives and staff members. He said persons could start with the first lesson or in the middle of the lessons if only a refresher course is needed.
"First we test the students with psycho-physical testing equipment and then we familiarize them with the controls of a car, working with them on an individual basis," Mr. Crioni said.
"We want to see their reflexive and physical capabilities with the testing equipment and then with written tests we get their emotional outlook toward driving," he said.
Mr. Criqui said the one main characteristic a good driver needs is a good mental attitude and when the students finish with the course they are supposed to have the right attitude.
Asked what was the right attitude, Mr. Criqui quickly said, "Practice the golden rule of do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
"When we start the student driving we start out at the perimeter of the town in the first lessons and finally we end up right in the middle of town parking and driving at the end of the course." he said.
"I'm sold on the merits of this course for we use the same methods that professional drivers go through. We work on attitude just as they do," Mr. Criqui said.
After completion of the course a certificate is given the student showing he is a competent driver, and when presented to the drivers
license bureau he is given a license
license bureau he is given a license
He said 30 persons were taking the course now with a waiting list of 15 or 20. There have been two accidents since the driving lessons were started five years ago, he said.
"Several foreign students after completing the course have been able to purchase a car and see the country," he said, "and many rural girls take the course after they are confronted with city driving."
There are three other instructors for the course who attended a student teacher training school during the summer session of the University.
They are Maurice Colvin, Kansas City, Kan. senior; Glen McDermed, Clifton senior, and Victor Goering, second-year law student.
Miss Iva Kitchell, dance satirist,
will perform at 8:20 p.m. Friday in
Hoch Auditorium. She is presented
by the KU Concert Course as a
feature of the KU festival year.
Dance Satirist At Hoch Friday
A native Kansan from Junction City, Miss Kitchell is acclaimed as America's number one dance satirist.
Miss Kitchell has given more than 600 concerts in the United States and Canada including appearances with major symphony orchestras. She recently completed a successful tour of the Hawaiian Islands and South America. She has become known as "the girl who can crack a joke with her toe," and on the other hand as having "the grace and technique of a Pavlova."
