College Station, Texas Thursday, October 25, 1962
Traffic Stopper
Mrs. Anne MacDonald, 31, mother of four, shows ho*w she
acts as a roadside vamp to slow down fast drivers outside
the village of Graveley, England. Wearing a halter top and
jeans, Mrs. MacDonald gives the hitch-hiking sign to pass
ing motorists. When they stop and offer her a lift she
thanks them for stopping and tells them she hopes they’ll
observe the village’s 30 mile-per-hour speed limit. (AP
AMONG THE PROFS
TTI Researchers
To Receive Award
Two A&M engineering profes-
sors will be honored by the Na
tional Safety Council Monday in
Chicago.
B. F. K. Mullins and Charles J.
Keese will receive the $560 Met
ropolitan Life Award of Merit for
research in accident prevention for
1962.
The A&M men are being hon
ored fojr their research in a free
way traffic accident analysis and
safety study. Mullins was the
principal investigator who con
ducted the study with Keese, exec
utive officer of the Texas Trans
portation Institute.
The award will be presented at
the general session of the traffic
conference as part of the National
Safety Congress. Mullins will ac
cept the award from Dr. George
M. Wheatley, third vice president
of Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.
Notifying Mullins and Keese of
the forthcoming award was How
ard Pyle, president of the National
Safety Council.
“Your very thorough and com
prehensive work on the freeway
traffic accident anlysis and safety
study is an outstanding contribu
tion to traffic safety and to acci
dent pi’evention and reduction,”
Pyle said. “I feel certain that in
the years to come, the effects and
application of your work will be
come increasingly valuable.”
“On behalf of the National Safe
ty Council,” Pyle continued, “may
we express our sincere gratitude
for the work that you and Profes
sor Keese have done.”
The study by Mullins and Keese
was initiated in 1958 by the Texas
Transportation Institute under
sponsorship of the Automotive
Safety Foundation. Its purpose
was to determine the possible cor
relations between freeway acci
dents and specific geometric de
sign features on urban freeways.
They also investigated methods
of improving accident reporting by
traffic enforcement officials.
The study considered some 10,-
000 accident reports on 54 miles
of freeways in the five largest
Texas citi.es and covered from two
to five years of data.
★★★
The history faculty is represent
ed by articles appearing in the
October, 1962, issue of the “South-
western Historical Quarterly,”
publication of the Texas State His
torical Association.
Di*. Thomas L. Miller, associate
professor of history, is author of
“Texas Bounty Land Grants, 1835-
1888.” He has written extensively
on the land system of Texas. In
this latest article, Miller considers
the amount of land promised to
soldiers in advance of their mili
tary service in Texas. The legis
lative history of the bounty sys
tem in Texas and the issuance of
land titles are traced.
Also appearing in the current
issue of the quarterly is the diary
of Lewis Harvie Blair, published
as “Lewis Harvie Blair: Texas
Travels, 1851-1855.” Dr. Charles
E. Wynes, while an assistant pro
fessor of history here, edited the
material. The article was made
possible, in part, by a grant from
the Fund for Organized Research
of A&M for the summer of 1961.
Wynes in September became an
assistant professor in the Depart
ment of History at the University
of Georgia.
