The increasing number of automo-
bile accidents in Columbia lately
should call the attention of the citi-
Zens to the need OF regulating these
reckless drivers.
The automobile traffic problem is
daily becoming more complex. Traf-
c experts in the cities are constantly
instituting rules for automobile drir-
crs to observe. thereby minimizing the
danger OF collisions. In these larger
cities mon a-e stationed at corners 70
see that the rules are carried out, ami
50 drivers Lacome accustomed TO the
"Safety-frst" rules when they see
traffic policemen on the busy corners.
II is more difficult to regulate auto
mobile driving in the smaller towns
where traffic policemen are supposed
lv unnecessary In these places a
civic consciousness must be acquired
BY those who drive motor cars. The
civ should have a set of rules based
upon the needs of the town streets.
and the peace-loving citizens should
he proud to observe them.
'Safety-First" rules, however, Will

dents, even if twentieth century in

The Y. VI. {. 4. and the student Union.

Editor the Missourian: Now that
the plans for the Student Union are
taking definite shape. and seem in
some measure TO be realized. il might
be well to answer the oft raised ques-
ton what the relation will be between
the union and the Y. NJ c. A. Especial
ly is such an answer advisable. for
often the insinuations are that either
the twp Institutions will antagoniZe
each other, or one will replace the
other Both Of the contentious are
incorrect.
The Y. NJ c. A. is attempting to
serve the students as common meet
ing place. Frequent mixers" are
held TO which everyone is welcome.
But We must admit that with a grow
ing University. and the limited capaci-
ty of the association building, it be
comes an increasing problem each
year to accommodate the crowds.
Again the Y. NJ. c. \. has always been
interested in ANY beneficial movement
which the students desire. and thus
no doubt will heartily concur in the
present plans for the union, even if
this new organization does take over
some of the associations present ac-
tivities.
Furthermore. the Y. NJ. c. A is
everywhere listed as a religious or
