Page 2 The Battalion TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1956 Students Can Help A very important survey is starting at A&M—the one we told you about on page 1. This survey, if it accomplishes what the Accident Prevention Committee wishes, could save some student from becoming involved in an accident in the future. It takes records of accidents, and the causes of these acidents, to provide information for the Committee to work with. Present records are very inadequate for past years. But the Committee would rather rely upon the voluntary list ing of accidents during the period since Sept. 9 of last year than have to build up a record of accidents during the period Jan. 17 on—a record that could be accumulated only by the pain and misery of preventable accidents. That’s the problem; and students can provide the an swers. We know that filling out even this simple form will require a little time. But it will be time well spent, for it can provide the knowhow to prevent many future accidents. So we join the Committee in urging students to please comply with this reasonable request. Accidents can and will be prevented if the students will help. Don’t Forget This Just a short reminder to students and citizens of our community. The March of Dimes is still going on and more and more money is needed in the fight against infantile par alysis. The fight is not over yet against this dread disease. So give, and give all you can for this deserving cause. Thank You, Ken We wish to express our appreciation to the A&M basket ball team for the 75-74 victory over the University of Texas Friday night. Now we can finally digest that Thanksgiv ing turkey. KEYS MADE While You Wait For Dorms Autos Etc.
