Insurance
(Continued From Page 1)
An insurance salesman said a
policy that is not compulsory could
be written, but it would cost more.
He said a non-compulsory policy
could be written if about 2,500 stu
dents would guarantee to take it.
He said he did not have official
figures on the cost for a non-com-
the low price. But he says it is
definitely a good plan,
pulsory policy.
But he said he thought it was a
good policy, and apparently antici
pated it getting passed in a stu
dent vote.
He said a policy was being draf
ted by the company.
He said the company could pay
off if every person in Texas died.

Building bulletin board shows Ag
gies will be traveling all over the
country and to many foreign lands.
Most of this traveling will be done
at least part of the way by auto
mobile. All of it will be in a hurry.
And the National Safety Coun
cil says that more traffic fatalities
occur in this month than in any
other month of the year. 3,522 last
year, for instance.
Statistics also show that danger
multiplies in proportion to the dis
tance traveled. This means that
those long, fast, grueling races
that Aggies are famous for, are
the most dangerous of all traffic
circumstances.
Here are some life saving tips.
• Trade the driving chores
around. Chances are, if you are not
alone on the trip, the other pas
sengers would be glad to drive and
relieve you for some refreshing
sleep or just an easing of tension.
• Leave someone awake to watch
the driver and talk to him if he
wishes. Don’t make yourself
obnoxious by distracting the at
tention of the driver, but often a
simple conversation will keep him
awake. The car radio played softly
will usually help also.
® Don’t drink alcohol. This
can’t be stressed enough. Any
type of alcoholic beverage will tend
to lull you to sleep rather than
keep you alert. Besides, long
drives at night are full of enough
hazards that you need not handicap
yourself even more.
® Sleep when you are not driving
or talking to the driver. A back
seat full of sleeping drivers in
sures an alert hand at the wheel
most of the time. As was pointed
out, a rotation system of sleeping,
talking and driving helps reduce
hazards.
® Leave some type of opening
in the car. A little air circulating
inside will tend to keep the driver
alert and keep the windows from
fogging. Most car heaters can
cope with the slight change in
temperature.
® Stop occasionally for coffee
and rest. Even at gasoline stops,
everyone should get out of the
car and stretch his legs. Fresh
air and exercise, along with food
or some type of hot drink, will do
wonders in restoring alertness.
The National Safety Council
statistics also show that one out of
13 drivers involved in fatal ac
cidents had some physical hand
icap at the time. Two-thirds of
these accidents were attributed
to fatigue.
These points will save your life,
or keep fatigue from taking your
life. The rest, is up to you.
Good Luck.

Why our finest watch
OMEGA
was selected as the official
timer of the Olympic Games
When the organizing committees of the 16th Olym
piads convened to choose an official timer they realized
that the performance of every Olympic contestant must
be measured with undisputed accuracy. They realized
that only an organization with long experience in the
science of precision-timing could shoulder such a great
responsibility.
Since Omega had the knowledge and experience,
gained not only from timing all previous Olympiads
since 1932 ... but also the timing of the historic Ban
nister 3.59.4 mile-run, the British Commonwealth
Games, the 1955 Pan American Games and scores of
other contests ... the appointment of Omega was nat
ural and logical. Such dependability is yours in every
Omega watch. See our men’s and ladies’ models,
