I say themselves because, as I stated earlier, the deer are not going to come down to the car to meet them, no matter what they do. Ernest Quintin 65 WHY ACCIDENTS HAPPEN TODAY Today, almost every time we pick up the newspaper we see that some person has been killed by some careless driver, or by some fault of his own. For the most part I think it's the young drivers, although their reflexes are quicker they like to fool around. As for the older people they are more experi- enced, but they aren't as quick. For example, you're coming down a hill with a curve at the bottom. As you go into the turn a car zooms past you on the solid line. As he does you say to yourself. He'll kill himself yet. A few miles further on you suddenly come upon an accident Cars are backed up on both sides of the road. People who were in the cars are badly hurt. Two of them will never recover because The Speeder has marked up another death for himself. One time when I was driving an older man came up behind me and went bv. After he did he stayed in the middle of the road, and was traveling at a good speed. He over took a stooped car, but he couldn't stop in time. He slid into the rear of the other car. I think the main reason for accidents are: that drivers may have been drinking, or are half awake, are sick, or just outdrive their reflexes. Let us watch our own dri- ving carefully and do our best to lower the automobile accident rate. Wayne Jones '65 SCHOOL DROPOUTS One of the nation's head- aches is this school dropout problem.

Unskilled laborers find jobs very scarce Today modern machines have replaced a number of people and jobs. The maintenance of these machines takes special training and skill. To meet these requirements one needs at least a high-school edu- cation and some special train- ing. Why do these kids quit school? Well there are a num- ber of reasons: First, they want spending for °as, dates, and cigarettes Of course they say that after- school jobs do not pay enough. Secondly, they're not going to pass anyway, so why waste their time? Some with a little added attention in class and a few hours of home-

AND KEEPING IT You've heard a lot about tech- nological advances, and auto- mation. One consequence of this progress is that many unskilled jobs are being elim- inated.
