“Look at ’em go! We’ll have to wait for half a dozen people to get killed around here before the highway department will decide to put in some signals.”
We’ve all heard remarks like that plenty of times; maybe made them ourselves. We all know of intersections where we think there should be a different system of traffic lights or a boulevard stop sign. Traffic tangles at such places threaten to blot out a life or two every day.
Now let’s get down to cases. We’ve got a street running through the middle of this campus that has all the makings of the best little Trojan exterminator you ever saw. Instead of waiting for those half a dozen deaths, it might make sense to do something about it now.
SC’s murder lane is called University avenue. It’s a divided street with a wide island down the middle and one-way traffic on each side. It’s patroled more or less by the city police and George Tirebiter. It has a four-way boulevard stop at 36th street.
University avenue sounds like a mighty safe street. It would be, except for one thing; there are cars and pedestrians on it. All over it, that is. At certain times of the day it almost looks as if they’re several layers deep.
Let’s take a typical noontime tangle. The Row taxi service is parked all over the place, and other drivers are roaring northward, slowing down to a second-gear
pause at 36th street. Pulling into the straightaway, they go weaving through the maze of parked cars and somehow dodging through the tidal wave of pedestrians that comes streaming across the entire length of the street apparently unaware of such things as intersections and automobiles.
BLIND LUCK WON’T LAST FOREVER. WERE ASKING FOR TROUBLE, AND SOONER OR LATER WE RE GOING TO GET IT.
What’s to be done? First, we’ve got to admit that traffic is heavy during the rush hours. The street is built to take it only if it’s kept clear. When the police department put up those “No Parking at Any Time” signs, they had the right idea.
Second, let’s slowT down. Caked blood doesn’t look good on anybody’s grillwork.
So much for the people BEHIND the wheel. They’re only half the story. If it’s a pedestrian that gets hit, let’s admit they’re walking into it. University avenue is in the middle of a campus, but remember it’s an avenue. We can’t stream across it all over the middle of the block, oblivious to traffic, and expect the cars to look out for themselves.
The DT is saying this now because we’d rather say it with print than with flowers. We’re making a plea first directly to the student body in the hope that Troy can clean up its own mess without police enforcement. Failing in this, it will be up to Los Angeles’ finest, and their methods may not be so gentle.—Al Lalane.

Students will have an opportunity to meet the faculty on more common grounds today at noon when representatives from both groupes meet in a “do or die” softball tussle on the archery field.
The game is a part of this week’s LAS festivities.
According to Jack Silverstein, manager of the game, the student team has a little revenge up its sleeve. He said that the last time the two teams met—it was a walking football game—“the faculty pulled some pretty strange stunts and managed to tie us. This time we'll be watching for their foul tricks.”
THROWS FIRST BALL After Coach Dean Cromwell throws the first ball and Dean of Men Neil D. Warren honorarily catches it, the two teams will “have at it." Coached by Trojan twirler Wally Hood and Dan Kubby, the student team will throw such stalwarts as Andy Anderson and Art Buchwald at their opponents. The faculty men, coached by Sam Barry, beast Prof. Russell “Speedball” Caldwell and Mr. Frederic Coon-radt, who the team calls “a refugee from the Stanford University Farm,” as examples of their “high-caliber” material.
Silverstein said yesterday the faculty will wear baseball caps, while the students will wear rooters caps, so that spectators will be able to “tell the softball players from the faculty.” Lunch hour at the fraternity houses today has been advanced to 1 p.m„ so that men from the Row can see the game and eat, too, the manager added.
CONDITIONS GOOD
Both teams reported late yesterday afternoon that they were in good shape for the fracas. The only doubtful starter on the faculty outfit is their hurler, Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman, who has been troubled by a sore arm. His teammates said that with the aid of 1000-watt heat lamp treatments they are sure he will be ready to pitch.
Joe Flynn and Silverstein will be student umpires for the game, while Dean Warren represents the faculty.
The lineups are:

Election registrations dropped off slightly yesterday as 625 students added their names to the growing list of voters and three of the five registration stations on campus closed during the afternoon.
With Tuesday’s figure of 373 and Monday’s record sign-up
of 1022, yesterday’s registrations brought the total of potential voters in the forthcoming ASSC election to 2521. This figure represents approximately 15 per cent of the total number of eligible voters in the student body.

Gotlieb Plans Plane Arrival
Al Gotlieb, executive secretary of the Council on Atomic Implications, left last night for Washington to complete plans for the arrival of the Peace Plane, Monday.
Gotlieb is to meet with representatives of the Federation of American Scientists, congress, the state department, and the White House to map a program for the Peace Plane delegation.
Peace Plane delegates will urge the U.S. government to take immediate steps to strengthen the United Nations or to call a world constitutional convention to form a world government.
From Washington, Gotlieb will go to Lake Success to arrange a meeting of the delegation with the United Nations atomic energy commission and with Frederick Osborn, US. representative on the commission.
the amount of activity in their areas did not warrant keeping thm open, according to Election Commissioner Jerry Jones.
Closed permanently was the station established yesterday morning in the Law building, while those at the Engineering building and at the Annex were kept open only intermittently during the afternoon.
JONES EXPLAINS Referring to the unexpected closing of stations, Commissioner Jones explained that the number of registrations taken in the Law building during the morning was insufficient to justify the existence of a station there.
In the Annex and Engineering building areas, he added, registration activities can be carried on effectively only between classes.
