‘I would like at this time,” Ashley said at the close of his farewell speech to the Senate, “to publicly express appreciation for and thanks to. a man whose greatness is recognized by a few. taken for granted by many, and denied by none.

Otis Healy, chairman of the Troy Camp committee, revealed ambitious plans for the coming year in camp activities. The proposed number of boys and girls to be taken to camp this year has been increased from 70 to 210.

Present plans call for three camp periods of 10 days each. Camp facilities can accommodate 70 chil-j dren. Under the proposed plan 140 boys and girls will have the oppor-! tunity to enjoy SC hospitality in camp.
Healy read to the Senate a let-'■ ter received from E. L. McKenzie, executive director. Variety Boys club j in Los Angeles.
McKenzie thanked the SC student body on behalf of the Variety club boys who attended the SC-: Oregon game as guests of SC. He stressed the wonderful work don* by the Troy camp and noted- the change in the boys following their stay last summer. We can tell all the “difference in the world in their behavior and outlook on life," he wrote.

The Senate passed a resolution ordering Bob Rower to complete his report on the student handbook, which he edited last summer.

Croup Makes Speed Check
Tuesday 69 cars were checked. Re-
Don’t step off the curbs on University avenue unless you can dodge cars at the record-breaking speed of 40 miles per hour, was thc advice of Allen Arthur, vice-chauman of the Greater University committee.
Speed checks show that 95 per cent of the automobiles traveling on University avenue exceed the
tive preliminaries that will end in March or April. A final hearing will be held to determine the winner. Job possibilities will be the winner's award.

speed limit of 15 miles per hour. Of These cases are part of competi- i this group, 15 per cent travel at a
pace more than double the limit.
These figures arfe thc result of the speed oheck made Tuesday by the Greater University committee as a part of its traffic and parking study.
Between 9 30 and 10:30 am. on
suits show that 5 per cent were traveling more than 40 mph. Thirty-three per cent were moving between 30-35 mph. The largest group. 57 per cent, ranged from 15 to 30 mph. Only 5 per cent were within the speed limit.
The check, made by John Lathrop aided by Warren Ettinger and Earl Thielen, was the same type used by the Los Angeles police. Based on the fact that a vehicle at a speed of 60 mph. travels 88 feet in one second, the check is made by timing the car over a measured distance.
The figures obtained are placed into a formula and the speed that
the car is traveling is determined.
Examination of the statistics already obtained indicates the importance of the survey in the determination of the safety requirements here on campus. Arthur said.
“Eight thousand students cross the intersection of University avenue and 36th street every day between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.,” he said.
“During this period approximately 800 cars use the same intersection. Sooner or later, the law of average wili catch up with us and some student or pedestrian will be killed,” he added.
When the studies of the committee are completed, a recommended program of action will be presented to the administration, he said.
