SPECIAL REPORT
TRAFFIC vs. STUDENTS
Hazards Plague Troy
(Editor's Note: In a day that might be described as the “Auto Age,” lhe importance of safety on the roads and highways cannot be overemphasized. I SC, an urban school in the heart of a city with an awesome freeway maze, particularly must become aware of the problem. This is the first in a series of articles designed to acquaint Trojans with the hazards of city traffic and how they can be avoided.)
By VIRGIN A BODIN Assistant to the Editors
Attending USC is a $600-per-semester hazard for anyone who drives, rides a bike or crosses a street to get to campus.
Traffic death percentages for college age persons are the highest among all student groups —61.4 per cent — and Trojans have more than their share of mishaps.
Why the traffic problem and high accident rate ?
One reason for USC's accidents is the constant flow of city traffic-through the area. Commuters to and from the Civic Center to outlying districts take the Hoover route to avoid crowded freeways.
The only city traffic defenses are an alert mind and good brakes to prevent accidents caused by less careful drivers.
Speed is another factor that greatly in-

creases the accident rate in the c a m p u s area. Whether students like to admit it or not. most accidents are caused by persons exceeding the speed limit, and according to the record, most speeders are under 25.
With the increase in speed there must also be an increase in judgment. At a greater speed, stopping distances are greater. In fact, it takes four times the distance to stop when going 60 miles an hour as it does when doing 30.
Freeways, without which Los Angeles traf-
fic would be at a standstill. are also a menace to drivers. While freeways enable commuters to travel to campus from all parts of the city in half the normal time, perhaps it is this same speed which makes freeway accidents the most serious of all.
Most accidents which involve deaths, occur on these “avenues of disaster” because of the great impact with which cars involved collide.
In spite of heavy traffic, weaving in and out to “beat” the traffic is a dangerous practice.
and surveys show that no time is really saved.
Since there is a minimum speed limit on freeways, the answer to the problem is not always a decrease in speed, but usually lies in the driver’s power of concentration on the road and the automobiles around him.
Pedestrians are perhaps the worst hazard around our campus area, since so many students walk to their classes fro m dormitories o r from 28th Street.
Dormitorv men and
women must cross Hoover Boulevard at times when traffic on the street is at its peak without aid of stop lights or signs of any kind. Two pedestrian crossings are all the help they ‘lave.
Most of the cars stop, some don’t. When the average speed on the street is about 10 miles per hour, students literally take their lives in their hands when they go to class.
Walking from the Row, Trojans are met with an equally hazard-ous situation, even though they have the aid of a traffic signal. When crossing Hoover or Jefferson with the light, pedestrians many times narrowly miss being hit by vehicles turning right on a red signal. These drivers often fail to notice people in the crosswalks. causing a screeching of brakes or a serious accident.
At USC more than at most universities, the bicycle has taken much of the legwork out of traveling to and from the classes. But these vehicles are also a menace to drivers, especially if the cyclist weaves in and out between cars or darts across intersections without warning.
With so many hazards around c a m pus one might think Trojans have dificulty ever making it to their classes without injury.
Some of them don’t.

Medical School to Display Rare Historical Volumes
Rare books tracing the 376 year development of medical illustration will go on display today in the Mudd-McKib-ben Building on the School of Medicine campus.
The earliest volume, an exact facsimile of a 1491 first-edition published in Venice, contains the first known anatomical illustrations.
The books on display were selected from USC's Salerni Collegium History of Medicine Library and the Los Angeles County Medical Association Library.
Salerni Collegium, a support group for the School of Medicinc. is composed of G50 physicians and selected laymen. A library on the history of medicine was established by the group last year with funds made available by this organization
Included m the exhibits are “De 11 unia ni Corpus Libri Decern" b\ Adrianus van Spi-gelius (157vl^25) and 'Tabulae Anatov.iicac" by Julius Casserius (1552-1616) in a one volume folio. The first
edition was published in Venice in 1627.
Spigelius' name is associated with the spigelian lobe of the liver. Casserius, responsible for the plates in the folio, was a teacher of William Harvey. English anatomist.
