a large percentage of injuries, ac
cording to a survey repoi’t released
by the College Accident Prevention

numerous were: dormitory areas,
22 accidents; intramural football

ries, 11.
The activities most of the stu
dents were engaged in at the time
of accidents were: unsupervised
play, 29 accidents; dormitory rou
tine, 11; intramural, 13.
The most recurring types of in
jury were: cuts and lacerations, 21;
sprains and strains, 18; fractures,
14; and bruises, 13.
Suggestions by students to pre
vent re-occurrence of accidents list
ed in the survey were: Reduce slip
pery surface of showers; use paper
cups in all soft-drink machines;
furnish ladders for access to roofs
of dorms; trim trees in parking
areas and install lights where need
ed; enforce regulation about single
rider on bicycle; level all side
walks; provide more safety educa
tion and supervision during bonfire

The Accident Prevention Com
mittee feels that an annual study
of accidents on the A&M campus
is worthwhile. Through such a
study it is hoped recommendations
will be advanced that will bring
action designed to eliminate un
safe practices and safety hazards
on the campus.

sults was done by Leslie L. Palmer
of the Physical Education Depart
ment, and will be submitted to Dr.
