We're proud of our team, and LSU should be proud of its men too.
 Paul Dietzel, Louisiana State Tulane has a fine football team that's very well coached, and did a fine job Saturday. Ut anticipated our angles and did d remarkable job of tearing our defense apart, especially on those off tackle plays Old Professor - MT. Hollow ak, you seem happy.

MANY WINTER
ACCIDENTS
People Can't Walk Surefoot-
edly Nor Stop Cars Quickly
On Slippery Surfaces
SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY

Traffic accidents don't just
happen" said ]. James Ashton,
manager of the Delaware Safety
Council, "they are caused. And
very often winter traffic accidents
are caused by people who refuse
to face up to the fact that winter
driving and walking demand in
creased caution and alertness from
motorists and pedestrians.
"These people know they can't
walk surefootedly nor stop their
cars quickly when road surfaces
are slippery with snow, ice or
rain-that they can't see clearly
through mist of rain, sleet,
snow or fog-that others can't
see them clearly nor stop sudden
ly for them under the same con-
ditions.
"Yet they don't make the neces-
sary adjustments to compensate
for these winter handicaps-don't
allow extra time to make a jour-
ney in rough weather-don't slow
their walking or driving pace
don't increase their alertness to
meet the added hazards.
eff an accident does occur. they
will blame it on the weather. But
shifting the blame won't mend
broken bones or put breath back
into lifeless body.
every time person steps out
in traffic he is responsible for his
own safety, and-to a degree
for the safety of those he meets,
Mr.. Ashton said. Refusing to ac-
cept this responsibility doesn't re-
his pain and discontinue any cas-
lieve him of it. Nor does it make
ier to bear if his carelessness
lands him in the hospital.
80, let's all take an adult at
titude towards this business of
traffic safety" he said. Lets
realize that our safety is our own
responsibility and that the way to
stay hale and hearty is to take
special precautions when the

ON STAFF OF u. OF d.

'In the four decades between
1775 and 1915 an obscure English
colony cut it's ties with the
motherland, experimental with in
dependence, and finally emerged
from these trials as the State of
Delaware" Thus does DR.. John
A. Munroe, chairman of the De-
partment of History of the Uni
versity of Delaware, introduce his
latest book 'Federalist Delaware,
1775-1S15."
Acclaimed as the only reliable
account of this period of the
states history, DR.. Munroe's work
explains the transition from col
ony to state, occurring at a time
when the Federalist Party was
maintaining its power and persist
ence in this state alone.
Analysing the vitality of the
Federalists in terms of the socio-
economic life of Delaware, the
noted historian examines local
conditions in the time of the Rev.
olution and the Confederation

education and religion.
after the Revolution, as be-
fore" states DR.. Munroe, "the
most important branch of manu-
featuring in Delaware was flour
milling and its allied industries. :"
This and other industries as well
are emphasized in detail
The rivalry between the Pres
byterians and Anglicans and the
rise of the Methodists contribute
to the historical account of the
states history. Comments the

The tenacity of slave rule in
the First State was also evident.
According to DR.. Munroe, g. the
Delawarean hesitated to give
slavery the death blow. Indeed,
this least of the slave states be-
came, with Kentucky, the last
slave state"

Munroe received his masters de-
gree from the University of Della

University of Delaware in 1947,
he rose to the rank of associate
professor in 1949, and was ap-

circles, DR.. Munroe is the author

Recommendation and then ap-
proved a substitute motion fa-
voring the ordination of women.
Bible Cited
The Rev. William H. Kepler,
moderator Of the presbytery and
minister Of Northminster Pres

bate by declaring there is no
Scriptural justification for the
ordination of women.
THE Bible seems to be op-
posed to it." Mr.. Kepler said.
III Christ wanted a woman to
be ordained. would he not have
had one woman among the

Mr.. Kepler then declared the
ordination Of women would be
"one more step in taking mothers
out of the home where they be-
long. I am in favor OF woman
suffrage but / see too many
cases where the husband and
wife works and their children
