new facilities are expected to be
ready for use by the beginning of the
fall quarter. Both will be operated
on a self-service basis.
Lack of space and consequent
crowded conditions in both the Col-
lege Soda Shop and the College Book

the College Union on the East Cam-
pus, make advisable the use of the
first floor of the South Dining Hall
to relieve the situation, according to
East Carolina Vice President and
Business Manager F. D. Duncan.
The new facilities, he stated, will
provide convenient and economical
service on the West Campus.
The east half of the 1500 square
feet of floor space available in the

Mahlon J. Coles of the College Union
and Student Stores stated, will be
used for the soda shop. Lounge furni-

Soft drinks, sandwiches, and other

The College Book Store will be
moved from its present location in
the College Union to the west side
of the first floor of the New South
Dininsr Hall.
In the new store textbooks will be
arranged so that students may make
their own selections in the stacks
and pay a cashier as they leave the
store.
This arrangement, according to Mr.
Coles, will result in speed and econo-
my of operation.
After the removal of book supplies,
the College Stationery Store will have
additional space, Mr. Coles explained.
The New South Dining Hall, East
Carolina's fourth cafeteria, was com-
pleted last March. The dining room

Feeling that Dean Tucker's re-
l sponsibilities were too many, Dr.
) Messick realized that they should be
devided by way appointing a new-
Dean of Mea. Applications were put
in careful consideration of all the
candidates, Coach Mallory was cho-
sen to occupy the office of Dean of
Men.
Dr. Tucker, the former dean of

full when he assumes office on Sep-
tember the 1st, for besides his duties
f.s Dean of Men he will remain head

quarter hours per quarter including
Summer sessions. His teaching obli-
gations will be diminished during the
Spring quarter, when he will be

Among the responsibilities of the
new Dean are: advisor for Inter

Pianist Presents
Concert Here
Aladar Ecsedy, young Hungarian
pianist, came to Greenville Wednes-
day with an impressive number of con-
certs to his credit. He presented a
recital in Austin Auditorium under
sponsorship of the East Carolina Col-
lege Entertainment Committee.
At the age of 20, with a scholar-
ship to study further in Finland, he
not only received another degree, but
gave over 100 recitals there. From
Finland, he left for Sweden, Den-
mark, and Norway for an extended
tour involving 120 appearances in re-
citals and as soloist with major sym-
phony orchestras during a four-month
period.
This Scandinavian tour was fol-
lowed by five recitals and several
recording sessions in Paris, recitals
and radio appearances in Switzer-
land, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany,
Italy and then to America where he
has appeared in concerts in 48 of the

not been equipped for use until the any emergency comes up. During his
present. short trips accompanying the base-
ball team on excursions someone will
have to occupy his office to fill in
the duties of Dean of Men while he
is absent, but this point has not yet
been cleared.
His understanding of the problems
of the students and his willingness to
help them can not but make me
think the administration has made
a wise choke in determining who is
to take the great responsibilities that
make up the job of Dean of Men.

'Hot Nuts' Ban
Is No Surprise
"The Hot Nuts a colored combo which
played for a student-government sponsored
dance here two weeks ago, has been banned
from the campus for any further engage-
ments. The college administration's chief ob-
jection to the performance appears to have
been obscenity in some of the lyrics.
It is no surprise to us that the combo
has been banned, for anyone who attended
the dance, although they may have enjoyed
it, must admit that the whole show was a
vulgar exhibition.
Even leaving out the diity words, vul-
garity was the tone of the entire perform-
ance. The sexual contortions and body
manipulations of the performers were neither
attractive nor in good taste, and the delight
of the audience was unbecoming of adult men
anil women.
The BAST CAROLINIAN encouraged
the students lo attend the dance acting on
the information that the event would provide
a much-needed stimulation to the empty-cam-
pus-every-weekend problem. But after wit-
nessing the exhibition, we must say that if
this is What it takes to keep our students
here on weekends, it would be better if they
went home.
If the SGA entertainment committee was
aware of.the type of performance that would
be given their inviting them here reveals a
lack of discretion and taste on their part.
Last weekend, the college audience re-
flponded to the Dave Brubeck concert with a
reaction of sober dignity. Contrasting these
two performances, it almost seems as if there
are two sets of students on our campus.
It is high time that some of our students
graduated from the musical bush leagues as
represented by "The Hot Nuts and stepped
into the Dave Brubeck league.
WWWS Officers
Should Be Paid
Soon Campus radio will apply to the bud-
get committee for an appropriation for salar-
ies for the six top positions in the organiza-
tion. These students certainly deserve to be
paid.
All executive positions in the SGA except
vice president and editorial and administra-
tive positions on the three publications are
paid out of appropriations from the SGA
budget committee.
Six WWWS staff members working
every day and several others working
at varying times, broadcast 9V hours
a day: 40 hours a week. Last year
WWWS spent a total of 3,000 hours
on the air. which does not include the amount
of time spent on "behind the scenes" jobs.
Paying positions would include:
(1) Station manager who oversees the
whole operation and works with the SGA
and school officials.
(2) Program director who writes all con-
tinuity, takes charge of programs and handles
the log.
(3) Special events director who handles
news, special programs and remote broad-
casts.
(4) Chief announcer who trains new
people and takes care of allocation of time.
(5) Music librarian who is in charge of
filing and cataloging records.
(6) Business manager who handles com-
mercial copy and the station's finances.
These people do as much as any of the
other members of organizations offering sal-
aries. Each of the jobs requires skill and
training plus time-consuming plain hard
work. Let's give them a break.

He was a familiar figure, a young
man who often looked old (or per-
haps he was an old man who often
looked young), walking toward Aus-
tin with quick, jerky steps, the olive
green bookbag (filled with volumes
of Yeats and Frost and maybe even
a little Shakespeare) forever on his
back, incessantly chewing his gum,
or ridinp his bicycle, or sometimes
carrying his black umbrella with a
dignity becoming a Ph. D.
But he would never let you call

of English here for three years. Ho
left just last week to become head of
the English department at Newberry
College in South Carolina.
Ho was a real nonconformist, not
for the sake of being a nonconform-
ist, but simply because he was. His
eccentricities were natural and you
never thought It out of place to see
him with a beret, or to see him kissing
adieu with his hands.
Once he unloaded his bookbag and
pulled out a cornbeef sandwich which
he claimed he buried there the pre-
vious summer. His bookbag always
aroused curiosity. It was his bag of
treasures. The treasures of Dylan
Thomas, Archibald MacLeish, Karl
Shapiro and Peter Viereck.

both fear and expectation. We could
tell by his facial expression or by

second-fciiessers in his time. But you
always knew you had to think and

That one who writes never quits
is true of Ovid Williams Pierce, who
in spite of the heat, is hoping to
finish another hook about North
Carolina this summer.
With a pencil and yellow pad, the
college professor and novelist sits in
the yard of his plantation home near
Enfield, and there in the early morn-

chapters. The novel concerns a North
Carolina family during the Recon-

publication next March by Doubleday

Tierce's rural home is shaded by
big oak trees, and in this setting of
natural air conditioning, he works

a little pushed for time he says.
The manuscript has been promised
to the publishers in September, and
before then, he plans several revi-
sions. Then, too, the author must re-
turn to Greenville, N. C, in the fall,
where he is professor of American
literature and creative writing at

And to catch fire under him was
a great experience, for it meant let-

Brubeck Quartet Masters Of
Progressive Jazz Family
By MARCELLE VOGEL
Popular jazz artist, Dave Brubeck,
and his quartet performed a very
entertaining jazz concert in Wright
Auditorium last Friday night.
Brubeck, 38, a fine progressive
jazz pianist and composer, started
out playing the p ano and cello in the
classical tradition. At thirteen he be-
gan playing jazz in local bands in
California. As a music major at the
College of the Pacific, Stockton, Cali-
fornia he organized a swing band.
Brubeck has traveled extensively
throughout this country, and in other
countries also. Last year the quartet
played most of Europe and the Far
East, even traveling behind the Iron
Curtain. The major portion of this
tour was sponsored by the U. S.
State Department, which brought the
quartet into areas that had never

Brubeck enjoys himself most when
he takes a couple of months vacation
from playing and rests at home with
his family. He composes music in his
spare time.
Paul Desmond joined forces with
Dave in 1951, and the now famous
Dave Brubeck Quartet was launched.
Desmond is a fine sax player, and has
a clear mellow tone. He seems rather
refined though, and not once during
the concert did he give the sax all
he had. This, however, is a change
from the bellowing sax players in
behop and jazz fields. Desmond, who
is featured on all the Brubeck discs,
recently joined Gerry Mulligan to
produce the fine Mulligan-Desmond
Quartet LP for Verve, which has be-
come a best seller since its release
a few months ago.
Joe Morello, the drummer, can
really beat the drums. He has become
recognized as one of the outstanding
drummers in the country.

cerns adjustments the three make to
the changing period after the war
Between the States.
The emotions displayed by the
three generations in Pierce's book
may be analogous to these expressed
towards current Southern problems,
and he admits that reactions of the
three could parallel current reactions.
The grandmother is unable to cope
with the new situation and disrupted
values; the daughter-in-law, or middle
generation, is forced to compromise
to new conditions on the plantation;
and the grandson quickly adjusts to
new life brought about by recon-
struction.
Pierce started working on his new
novel soon after the last one was
published. Reading and research,
which serve as a basis for his writ-
ing, have involved two years, and he
has actually been writing for one
year. Research is necessary, he says,
"in order to get the feeling of the
people of the time" and also to avoid
contradicting historical truths.
He got a head start on the book
during the past fall by taking a leave
of absence from East Carolina Col-
lege, and he has worked on it con-
tinuously for the past three months.
Much of the rest was completed while
he was teaching in Greenville.
"The Plantation" was written and
published while Pierce was a profes-
sor at Tulane University in New Or-
leans, Louisiana. Soon after the book's
release, he decided to return to North
Carolina in order to spend more time
at his family's home in Halifax
County.
A greying bachelor, Pierce is an
alumnus of both Duke and Harvard
and during World War II served in
the Army Counterintelligence Corps.
He is a native of Weldon, in Halifax
County, and spent his early life there.
In addition to novels, he also con-
tributed to an article about North
Carolina life and countryside publish-
ed in Holiday Magazine.
He is relatively young as a novel-
ist, and the state can expect a great
deal more to flow from his pen.
Amid rumblings of discontent from
corners of his tiny country, Fidel Castro 1
week saw his former Air Force comman
appear before a U. S. Senate investigate
committee and accuse him of leaning tow a
Communism. These are but a few of a mou
ing number of headaches the former re
commander has confronting him at prese
Some are minor and may warrant only m
concern. Others, however, are of such may;
tilde that his entire government may be
jeopardy.
Hardly had Castro begun to enjoy t
sweet taste of his revolutionary victory ov
former Cuban head Batista before gover
him realize he had no picnic ahead. Throug
out the Americas, he gained notoriety an
criticism for te circus-like atmosphere he
lowed to surround the trials of ex-Batista o
ficers. He followed these with mass exec
tions which led many people to brand him
murder. This is probably the root for mo
foreign criticism heard today.
A short time after Castro rebels caus
Batista to flee to the Dominican Republic, th
revolutionary fever began to spread amon
Carribean countries. Small bands of rebel
received wide publicity by "invading" variou
countries. In many cases the rebels consist
of a mixture of many nationalities and al-
ways ended in a disorganized flop. Cast
was believed to have backed some of thes
raids. Consequently, other government head
are fearful and believe him to be untrus
worthy.
Discontent among his own people ha
proven to be another sore spot. He prom
land reform and that's what the Cuban pea-
sants wanted. Now they claim, however, Ian
is not being broken down and distributed t
them fast enough. On the other hand, larg
landowners, whose land was to be partial
confisticated and divided among the peasants,
are protesting violently. In many areas, Cu-
ba's economy is in danger due to the diffi-
culty in finding workers to harvest the bum-
per sugar crop.
During the Batista regime, and prior to
that, tourists from the United States and
other counries have added vitality to the Cu-
ban economy. Castro has closed many of the
casinos and nightclubs which were the coun-
try's leading tourist attractions. In many of
the clubs still open, Castro soldiers roam
freely through them with dangerous looking
weapons and cocky attitudes. This hardly
generates an atmosphere for pleasure. As a
result, tourist travel to Cuba has declined
drastically. Can the Cuban economy afford
this loss of income?
As if the Cuban leader did not have
enough to keep him awake at night, his for-
mer Air Force commander deserted to the
U. S. a few days ago and testified before a
congressional hearing that he was acting like
a Communist. The former officer had no
proof so these charges remain doubtful, but
it does point up the fact that Castro's most
potent weapon, the armed forces, may be
drawing away.
Last week Castro announced plans to re-
linquish his post of Minister to allow him
more time to work with his people. This em-
phasizes the fact that he is aware of the dan-
gers facing him.
Fidel Castro proved he is an able leader
of men by binding a disorganized group of
fired up rebels into an effective fighting
machine. He has yet to prove his ability as
a leader of his country, however. Only his-
tory will tell the truth, but chances are good
that Castro will be remembered as a great
rebel leader who should have left the running
of the government to someone else.

Recent newspaper headlines have made
such statements as "Governor Long is Term-

what are we, the public, to believe? The old
expression, "I only know what I see in the
paper could hardly apply here. After all, is
not Governor Long a lawmaker, a "leader of
the people a figure head of American gov-
ernment? Are we, who most surely realize
that one in so prominant a position could
never be wrong" be sick, (or is ill a better
word), or be mentally disturbed, to believe
the babblings of the newspaper headlines?
Most certainly they are wrong. This is
the work of mud slingers, of radicals, or of
madmen. No leader of the great American
democracy could possibly be mentally ill.
Why, if it were true that would lead us to
think that perhaps some of our other leaders
are not capable. Inquiring minds would begin
to ponder the capabilities of other leaders.
The president, the Secretary of Agriculture,
the judges of the Supreme Court, college
presidents, labor leaders, Eagle Scouts, hous-
ing directors, and even the supremeness of
the great Elmer Gentry might be questioned.
Revolution 1
So we, the flock, must disregard these
mutterings about Governor Long. We must
never even think that one of our leaders, po-
litical or otherwise, could ever be "ill" or in-
capable in any way. No. Stop it. Don't even
entertain any thoughts that their points of
view or decisions are ever wrong. You must
believe in them. Faith, man, faith is the
answer.

ment, held Saturday, July 11, with
the strongest field seen in the South
this year, saw John Hodgin of Bur-
lington the surprise winner over
North Carolina champion Gary Pres-
ton in the finals of the Men's Singles.
Hodgin's steady forehand attack com-
pletely overpowered Preston's of-
fense, by scores of 23-21, 21-18, 21-13.
Hodgin started his road to the cham-
pionship by defeating East Carolina's
Boyce Honeycutt in two straight
games, and then upset South Caro-
lina's No. 2 player, Bill Ellis of Spar-
tanburg, 18-21, 21-13, 21-16. Ellis's
defensive play just wasn't enough to
stop the consistent attack of the left
handed Burlington champion. Hodgin
then met East Carolina champion
Norman Kilpatrick, in the semi-finals,
and appeared to have little chance of
winning in the first game, as Kil-
patrick's chop defense and forehand
and backhand kill shots won the
first game 21-12. However, Hodgin's
drives and counter drives started to
take their toll, as Kilpatrick's de-
fense was completely broken up, by
scores of 21-18, 21-14, and 21-15, by
the Burlington city champ.
In the other semi-final, Preston hit
through the fine defense of John

Coach Earl Smith has just return- Boyette hail from Lucama.
ed from a tour of the four surround-
ing states where he was able to find
several good prospects for his basket-
ball team. For those who do not know
Coach Earl Smith is the head basket-
ball coach at East Carolina College,
e was appointed to this position
the states
of Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Ga. Most of these boys
were some of the best prospects in
teir respective areas. From Virginia
comss the six footer, Carol, who
weighs in around 165. Then from Ga.
comes Fred Fowler who is also a
native of North Carolina, weighing
in at 220 but carries it on a 6)"
frame.
Most of the boys hail from the
Tar Heel State and they come from
a wide range. Jerry Bosquet is from
Haw River, while Lawrence Clayton
is from Zeb-Vance. Sonny Baker
comes from Mamers and Malvern
All of these boys have played some
ball and they should be an asset to
Coach Smith's five. Along- with these
contacts others may show that can
be of help so that the team can look
ahead with some hope of a good sea-
son.
A majority of the boys who have
decided to come to East Carolina
from this group are well over six
feet. The height range is from six
to six nine, while most of them fall
in the category of 6'3" and 6'5
weighing around 200.
When a coach goes out looking for
ball players there is always the big
colleges to contend with and this was
the case for Coach Smith would have
been glad to talk with boys from
Kentucky but most of them had de-
cided on their own colleges and uni-
versities. So in spite of the hard work
of securing boys Coach Smith is now
looking forward to working with his
team on the floor.
Twelve games with a playoff will be the type of play as the second
summer session intramural softball schedule gets under way. At the end
of this there will be a playoff between the top teams. Teams entered
are the Virginians managed by Sherald Ward, as well as the Diamond
Bandits who played in the first round. A new team is the Scoffers as
are the Has Beens. Now East Carolina has the Yankees for they have
entered, along with the old Bombers. We have a new team in the Barons
which probably will use some of the players that were used by other teams
in the first quarter.
The schedule is as follows:
SECOND SUMMER SESSION INTRAMURAL SOFTBALL
SCHEDULE (Male Students)
Each team in the league (7) will play each other twice or a total
of twelve games. The top four teams will have a playoff for the champion-
ship. No. 1 team will play No. 4 team and No. 2 team will play No. 3

Western Sports
Are Gaining
Popularity In Asia
By NAM Y. PARK
(Editor's note: Nam Y. Park is an
assistant sports editor from Korea).
Most of the western forms of sports
have been introduced into Asia. Base-
ball, basketball, pingpong, hockey,
golf, skiing, skating, boxing, tennis,
horse-racing and soccer are very pop-
ular, especially. Soccer, baseball, and
Judo are most popular sports among
these today. Judo is based on the
method of using the strength of the
antagonist to overcome him, using
his strength to bring about his own
downfall, so that weak may actually
overcome the strong. Indeed strength
does not count in Judo. Three me-
thods are used in Judo. NAGEWAZA,
hurling the opponent to the ground;
IKATAMEWAZA, obtaining a grip on
him so that he cannot move, and
ATEWAZA, standing or kicking him
in a vital spot that will put him out
of action. Judo is a form of wres-
ling peculiar to Japan, the form and
use of which has spread throughout
the world.
Originally, Judo had been intro-
duced to Japan by a Chinese in the
seventeenth century, under whose
tutoring were created experts who"
gradually spread the knowledge of the
art-among the military classes. After
formed a typical Japanese Judo, it
was introduced to Korea and Philipine
in the eighteenth century. Today we
have Judo clubs in most of the
towns for daily practice. Students of
Judo are taught how to fall without
injuring themselves, and how to re-
suscitate an opponent should he lose
consciousness.
When we practice Judo we wear a
jacket made of strong material, so
as to resist continual pulling and
tugging without tearing, and loose
trousers made of cotton fabric which
reach well down below the knee so
as to protect against painful scrap-
ing on the mats. You are not allowed
to practice throws until you learn
how to fall or how to protect your-
self when you fall.

Americans would probably call Judo
a fighting technique, but in reality
it is a gentlemen's sport

Miss Nell Staliings Receives
Tribute From ECC Students
Sentimentality,
Materialism
And Rain
Rain, oh! so much rain! It has
almost driven practically everybody
out of their minds, but I think most
of us have managed to pull through.
Everything got wet. Clothes, shoes,
books, people! I even heard of some-
one whose house got so damp that
the heater had to be turned on to
improve the situation. Of course, the
amity nearly went crazy, but the
heat did the work.
Even though all this rain can be
, retty annoying, it is inspiring (don't
ask me what it inspires!), very much
so. It is true that sentimentality does
not do much good, but rain is so
much a part of nature, that it can
not but make us grateful for all the
random- of some parts of our world,
though at times we are tempted to
say "the heck with it and be ma-
terialistic.
Even though this rain was cruel
to some of us, we will be hoping for
it to be back, because the sun can
be just a little bit more cruel than
the rain.
Come rain or shine makes no dif-
ference, for we will proceed on our
often monotonous routine for days
unknown. . .

Tribute To Miss Nell Staliings
Purpose: To thank Miss Nell Stal-
iings.
Statement of Problem: Miss Nell
gs.
Hypothesis: We are assuming the
best way to evaluate this class is
to have a social for Miss Staliings.
Procedure: Scientific MethodData
for the study were obtained by in-
nrviews with classmates, faculty
members and friends.
Analyze data:
Miss Staliings, your students asked
for this period much to your surprise
and chagrin and much to our own de-
light, to offer you a tribute of af-
fection and esteem. This is a spon-
taneous demonstration; you are to
think of it as a grass-roots move-
ment which spread like wildfire or
rolled like a snowball. Once the idea
was started, nobody would let it die
and everybody wanted to participate.
There is unanimous agreement within
our (lass that East Carolina owes
you a debt of gratitude for service
far above and beyond the call of duty.
Some debts can never be paid in full,
but they should at least be acknow-
ledged. Please consider this a token
payment.
It seemed perfectly natural at the
time, but it strikes me as curious
now, that when different individuals
began to ask their classmates what
they thought about a social for Miss
Staliings. not a single one asked,
-Why"? Instead, you all said, "what
a wonderful idea " or "Count me in
I am reasonably sure that this is not
the usual response to such an sug-
gestion, no matter how long and how-
well the intended victim has done
a worth-while job. It is customary
to wait till someone has a birthday
or anniversary or the getting married
or is about to take a new job. But
that isn't the reasonThere isn't any
reason except the best of reasons:
this is something we want to do.
I have known Miss Staliings for
almost fourteen of the sixteen years
she has boon at ECC. And I think
I understand why we had this im-
pulse. But then I think I would have
understood it if this had been my
year as a student at ECC. Only
I might not, as a newcomer, have
been able to find the full meaning
my memories provide.
During the last fourteen years I
have sometimes been hurt, or worse,
annoyed, when Miss Staliings didn't
see things my way, which of course
seemed to me the right way. But
more often I have seen things her
way. and never for one moment have
I lost confidence in her or respect
for her. I am not going on my own
experience alone; I have never known
anyone who did not respect Miss
Staliings, though I have known a
meat many different kinds of people

College executives and trustees in
many places must be urbently seek-
ing what ECC has in its P.E. de-
partmentA girls P.E. teacher who
will give long and faithful service
and maintain a good balance between
firmness and flexibility. Perhaps
there are enough of such prodigies to
go around; I shall charitably hope
so. But if there is a shortage of this
as of other precious commodities, I
am selfishly glad that the college I
chose to attend has provided its stu-
dents with a teacher of this perhaps
old-fashioned quality to work under
before the supply ran out. So I want
to say not only, "Thank you, Miss
Staliings, on behalf of the class
but also, "Thank you, ECC, for Miss
Staliings.
Conclusion:
She is a jolly good teacherin
other words she it TOPS!

Geography Class
Takes Travel-
Study Tour
A geography class of 27 students
left Greenville Tuesday morning for
a 21-day travel-study tour into New
England, the Maritime Provinces of
Canada, and eastern Great Lakes
area as a phase of the 1959 summer
school session of East Carolina Col-
it re and its Extension Department
which aided in setting up the travel
arrangements.
Directed by Dr. Robert E. Cramer
of the Geography Department, the
students will be conducted on a tour
of industrial, agricultural and his-
torical sites and will also study land-
forms, soils, and climatological vari-
ations. Dr. Cramer said the students
will earn academic credits, special
material having been prepared for
the course by Dr. Cramer and re-
viewed daily during the trip.
Traveling via Carolina Trailways
air-conditioned bus, the vehicle be-
comes a mobile classroom on the
daily trips between cities. The 27
students representing 22 North Caro-
lina communities left Greenville Tues-
day morning at 6 o'clock on the 487-
mile schedule to New York City.
from the music hall and Wright
Auditorium these days. No, the music
majors aren't back, but the 6th an-
nual summer music camp is under
way and many musicians from all
over the state and other states also
are having fun playing and recreat-
ing together. We are glad to have
you all at the college, and hope that
you will enjoy your stay.
I hope everyone got to hear Dave
Brubeck and his quartet last Friday
night, because if you didn't you miss-
ed a treat. Among others they play-
ed their newest album "Gone With
The Wind a medley of old Southern
tunes, which will be released soon.
Another interesting piece they played
was an Arabian number with 54,
It was weird but had a good beat.
Their whole eoncert was entertaining,
and informality dominated the
tone of the concert.
Now, with the rain finally stopped,
we hope, the hot weather will again
come to brighten the campus. Why
not beat the heat by attending the
watermelon cutting next Wednesday
at 6:30 in front of the Post Office?
The watermelons are always nice and
cold. Watch the bulletin boards for
other events coming up.

"Why did I let him get me so upset"
When your worries talce the wheel,
you're a- potential killer! It's a fact. When
worries get you down, you just can't concentrate on driving.
And that's when you can cause an accident! Last year, many
of the nearly 37,000 who died in traffic accidents were killed
by drivers whose minds were on their troubles, instead of on
the road. So check yourself. Don't let anything distract you
when you drive. You'll live longerand so will others.
