Dusinberre Talks on Highway Deaths
By CAROL KUNKLEMAN
"Public saftey agencies de
plore but don't seem to under
stand public apathy toward
safety legislation," observed
Dr. R. K. Y. Dusinberre, Rit
enour Health Center physi
cian, speaking on fatality rates
on our highways to the Faculty
Luncheon Club yesterday.
Offering a solution towards
solving this problem, Dusinberre
listed three areas which account
for the public's attitude: First,
there are obvious inconsistencies
in the methods used by safety
agencies. "The public isn't going
to support safety," he said, "if
truck weights are being increased
and speed limits are also being
raised."
Second, continued Dusinberre,
there is a confusion of interest
between the public and the pri-

Dead Week is sponsored by
the Freshman Council and is
supported by the Women's Stu

This period of little campus
commotion will continue until

'a chance to cram for those fast
approaching exams.
Recently the Freshman Coun

vate concern. "No driver wants to
sacrifice his personal interest for
public protection," he declared.,
Third, Dusinberre said, this
conflict of interests between
public and private concerns has
been blurred over the years.
Citing as an example the fact
that Harold Curtis, president of
the General Motors Corporation,
was also head ofia safety commit
tee for President Dwight D. Ei
senhower, Dusinberre said that
we must expect public apathy if
these "contradictions" are pres
ent in our society.
"The modern highway is a
men's club," Dusinberre declared.
"Traffic represents man's inter
ests and reflects his personality,
especially in his use of speed,"
he said.

DZ, Pi Phi
Tie For
Derby First
By 80881 LEVINE
The rains came, the bikes
wen an' fearless riders drove
on through the storms.
When the showers ended and
the soaking score sheets had been
collected the judges announced
that Pi Beta Phi and Delta Zeta
sororities had tied for overall
first place in The Daily Collegian's
Bicycle Derby Day held Saturday.
Undaunted (though slightly
dampened) by the whole affair,
Drowning Denny Malick, fearless
former editor of the sponsoring
paper, sputtered that a runoff is
tentatively scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
tomorrow.
It will be a team relay race
held on Pollock Rd. between the
dead end signs near the Mall in
a space commonly referred to as
Penn State's Gaza Strip.
The tie occurred because Pi
Phi took two first places in the'
8 O'Clock and the Deadline Races
worth 25 points apiece, and Della
Zeta took two firsts and a sec-'
and in races requiring less team
participation. They piled up 20
points for the Bluebook Race, 10
points for the Pinmate Race and
15 points for the Paperboy Race
giving them also a total of 50
points.
Winners of the individual
'events were:
Eight O'Clock—Pi Beta Phi,'
first; Gamma Phi Beta, second;'
and Alpha Xi Delta, third; Blue- ;
book—Delta Zeta, first; Alpha'
Chi Omega, second; and Alpha'
Epsilon Phi, third. Paperboy—,
Delta Gamma, first; Delta Zeta,'
second; and Gamma Phi Beta,!
third. Pinnoate—Delta Zeta, first;
Zeta Tau Alpha second and third.
Deadline—Phi Beta Phi, first; Al
pha Xi Delta, second; and Delta
Gamma, third.
Complete details on the runoff
will be published in tomorrow's
Collegian.
terested in safety, he told the
group. Women are appealed to
because they are organized in
clubs and civic groups, Dusin
berre said.
Advocating the use of radar on,
highways to detect speeding, the:
physician said that if the two
million women drivers in Penn-,
sylvania would write to their con
gressmen, legislation would event
ually be passed.
"Put a very good 'back-seat
driver' in the car and measure
the anxiety she has when a man
'drunk' with the power of the
machine is driving," Dusinberre
said. Only then, he concluded, can
'we know what test to give to
measure the need for safety legis
lation.
