However, Elliott said his party
will support the investigation of
the feasibility of a bookstore at

The party also proposes that
two lecture and artists series pro

one in the afternoon and one in
the evening, to accommodate the

Elliott believes that the Uni

date to plan for a larger audi
torium to be built in the future.
In reference to the deferred
rushing program, the party rec
ommends that the gym in Recrea
tion Building be used after ath
letic meets, for dances for fresh
men an d independents. This
would be sponsored by Cabinet
and a combo to play at the dances
would be secured through Cab
inet.
Elliott also said that his party
"will do all in its power to sup
port All-University Cabinet's at
tempts to recognize student gov
ernment." This was not put on
the party's platform because a
committee has already been set
up by Cabinet to investigate the
reorganization.

Overconfidence Seen
As Accident Cause
Overconfidence seems to be one of the causes of frequent
farm accidents in which teenage boys are involved, according
to a study made by Dr. Prodipto Roy, a former faculty mem
ber.
The study was made on 2288 Pennsylvania farms in 1955.
The supposition is supported by a traffic accident study
made by former faculty member
Robert C. S. Rommel, now assis
tant - professor of sociology at
Drexel Institute of Technology.
The Rommel study showed
accident-prone teenage boys
seemed to feel an automobile
was a symbol of increased sta
tures.
Boys aged 15 to 19 had the
highest number of farm accidents
per 1000, according to Roy's study
—7B. Girls in the same -age group
had only four accidents per 1000.
Dr. William G. Mather, head of
the Department of Sociology at
the University, said he had no
definite reason for the results, but
that he thought since teenage boys
helped him gather the data, they
might have paid more attention
to teenage boys' accidents.
Members of the Future Farmers
of America, who were studying
vocational agriculture in high
school, aided in the study.
Most accidents are caused by
people, not machines, Mather
said. Safety devices on farm
machines are often removed by
the farmers, he said.
Persons who didn't like living
on a - farm were slightly more ac
cident-prone than those who did,
Mather said.
The study found the peak. time
for farm accidents was between
2 and 4 p.m. Accidents were also
frequent in the 10 a.m. to noon
period, he said. This might indi
cate, Mather said, the need for .a
break in farm work similar to
'business' middle-of-the-day coffee
break.
Almost half the week's farm
accidents occurred on either
Wednesday or Saturday, Mather
said. The accident rate was low
on Sunday, built up to the Wed
nesday peak and began low
again on Thursday.
Mather said Wednesday and
Saturday may be days on which
farmers go into town to get sup
plies. Therefore, they hurry to get
their work done and their speed
causes carelessness, he concluded.
