AVERAGE PERFORMANCE
Automotive experts indicate
that if you are only an average
driver you will: find a parking
ticket waiting for you every 8
years, have a moving violation
ticket every 4 years, get a tick
ct for running a red light, speed
ing or reckless driving every 9
years, be involved in an accident
in which the damage runs to
one hundred or more dollars
every 10 years, and ior get a
speeding ticket every Is years.
Let's be better than average
and avoid these violations.
ESCAPE FROM A
SUBMERGED VEHICLE
Consider this Your car
skids out of control and plunges
into a body of water. Ridicu-
lous? 1t could not happen to
you? Well, statistics prove
it does happen and approximate
ly 400 persons may die this
year in the United States in this
type of accident.
Memorizing the following
points may save your life:
/. When driving near large
bodies of water, keep your car
windows rolled up. A closed We
hicle is more buoyant when it
hits water.
2. Vehicles tend to sink en-
sine first, completely filling the
front seat area with water.
However, this angle does not al
ways continue because the We
hicle usually levels in the water
and air pockets rise to the upper
interior portion of the vehicle
allowing the occupant to breathe
long enough to plan his escape.
8. Keep a cool head, make
maximum use of the air pocket
and try rolling down window
and swimming away, or, if
physically unable and immediate
help is certain, await rescuers.

with the limitations of time and

PASOA was formed to carry
on a mission of uniting and
representing African students
abroad, a program initiated in
l948 by the All-Africa Student
Union of the Americas. By the
late 195Os, however, ASSUA's
energies had begun to wane.

the increasing numbers of Az

Mr.. Ikoku came to the Uni-

expects to have his degree
within two years and then will
return to Nigeria to do re-

The first one, the New Eng

an outstanding success and the
New England press hailed the
Apis promotion of the venture
as "the greatest travel campaign
in the regions history"
The Heritage Trail is a color
full auto route which stretches
through six New England states
and ties together more than
1000 historic, scenic or recrea-
tional attractions. Formed last
year, it will be the pattern for
the Sunshine Trail.

of a new national travel asso-
citation and support of additional
tourist trails" five of them

Describing tourism as "sleep-
ing giant" Mr.. Moir declared
that "There is not one section
of the country, not one state or
region, that has fully exploited
its possibilities as tourist at
traction"
Yet, he continued, state has
but to attract an additional 20
to 25 tourists per day on an
annual basis to gain the equiv
alent of an industrial payroll of
100000.
Change this by simple null
tiplication of the thousands who
can be attracted to Mississippi
- for fun and wholesome rec
reation-and the figure becomes
astronomical" he said.
Mr.. Moir also had a word
about the safety of highway
travel, citing figures to show
that driving is more than twice
as safe today as it was in 1945.
In that year, he said, there were
11.5 auto deaths for every mil
lion miles driven, compared to
So in 1862, the lowest accident
rate in our history. This record,
he said, was attained despite
nearly 76-million autos on the
road, nearly twice as many as
in 1945.
Decrying "scare campaigns"
which he said include such
things as sensational headlines,
displays of wrecked cars and
predictions of holiday fatalities,
he called on his audience to help
counteract unfavorable publicity
of this nature.

great challenge to the entire

that the challenge must look to

He urged Alumni everywhere

Drive Attitudes,
Safety Pointers
Given Emphasis

The next time you hear a car
operator mutter, "Who cares 20,
"What difference does it
make? ?" Beware! This in
dividual has not only display
ed an Indifferent attitude which
suggests poor performance, but
also indicates an accident-prone
tendency. This type of philos-
ophy breeds carelessness.
Attractive Nuisances" is the
legal term describing odd sights,
displays and other disturbances
which momentarily distract a
driver. While these distractions
are a prime contributory factor
for the rear end collision, many
of these accidents could be pre-
vented by maintaining a proper
following interval.
Vehicle operators can guard
against rear end accidents by
concentrating on what is going
on in the traffic ahead and an
ticipating the need for sudden
stop by reacting to clues from
the vehicles ahead.
You may be alert to traffic
conditions, but how about the
fellow who is tailgating your
vehicle? A practical solution to
this situation in daylight is to
flash your lights on and off, as
this may alert the follower and
will not sacrifice your speed. At
night, brake intermittently with
caution. If in either case you do
not get results, a proven method
of arousing a drowsy driver is
to use your horn.
