It Can’t Happen To Me
The A&M Accident Prevention committee
is one of those unheralded, unsung groups,
that do a lot of work, do it quietly, and con
sequently are not heard from much.
And sometimes they do their work
against odds—people who refuse to believe
accidents can happen to them, and who don’t
want to report hazards.
When a member of the committee, or
anybody else, points out an accident hazard,
the person responsible for the existance of
the hazard feels personally insulted.
“I’m careful,” he says. “Accidents don’t
happen to me.”
But accidents do happen, and they al
ways happen to somebody who thought it
couldn’t happen.
The committee is now leading the way
in a campaign to find and correct accident
hazards on the campus. Everybody—stu
dents, staff, and faculty—will have a chance
to report hazards, either through the forms
that will be sent out, or through the depart
mental representatives that have been ap
pointed.
This will require that everybody become
accident-conscious, and make a sincere ef-
, fort to weed out hazards.
It’s been said many times before, but it’s
still true: accidents don’t happen; they are
caused.
The Only One
A group of the local women have banded
together to do something about Bryan’s old
Carnegie library, and they have strong ar
guing points for improvement.
Everybody knows the library is sadly
lacking, but one little known fact is that the
Bryan library is the only public library for
all the counties surrounding Brazos.
The library needs attention, and this
group is prepared to do something about it,
but they are going to need everyone’s help.
