  • Page 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday, October 26,1967 CAROLINIAN OUTLOOK By David Watson Speed And Alcohol According to a Travelers Insurance Company report, excessive speed is the number one highway killer. Speeders come in different categories: (1) The Chronic Speeders: He speeds because he loves it; he craves it; he can't live without it, (some can't live with it) (2) The In-a-Hurry Speeder: He's just got to get where he's going ■-- fast; he can't be slowed by mere law, (but a telephone pole is a different matter) (3) The Mad Speeder He's had a bad day so he decides to take his hostilities out on the car and road, (sometimes the car gets back) (4) The "I'll make up for lost time" Speeder: lie math- matically figures time lost in towns and how fast he needs to drive to make up for it (be careful not to miscalculate) The people all have a common problem they think that they are the only people on the road. But they're not - just because they drive a better car or pay more taxes doesn't mean that they can act as they please on public streets and highways; they don't own them. All accidents are not the fault of the speeder.. When a car tops a hill doing (15 m.p.h. on 1-40 and runs smack into some slow-poke doing 40; just who causes the accident? It was the slow-poke. Someone needs to make a few more laws about minimum speeds. The slow driver causes an often careful driver to take unnecessary chances that often result in an accident. Let us not rationalize by saying it's all due to the slow driver. Speed kills. Remember: The higher the speed, New Look Coming In This ring's Catamount Sp the greater the severity of the accident. If you want to drive fast and have a wreck, that's your business but please don't take me with you. Occasionally everybody speeds - just a little anyway. When you do speed though, use some sense and don't do it where you'll get caught. Another interesting factor in accidents is the post-mortem studies of the alcohol content of the persons involved. Alcohol has been found to be a main factor i n more than half of the fatal traffic acci- dents, according to independent surveys, In other words, when you're ixitted, you've got a better chance of being stiff in the morgue. Each individual must make up his own mind about drinking and driving. But the drinking driver increases his chances of being in an accident. So besides being a- gainst the law, it's dangerous to drive under the influence, When and if you find yourself away from home, let more sober 'companions; drive and if you must drive please take it easy ■ go slow,. With every additional drink (even the one-for-the-road) the risk of an accident increases. But if you feel lucky or have the stars in your favor, drive as you please - it's your own life. What Are The Odds-Not What You Think Got a buck in your jeans and a hunch on a horse? Okay, go ahead and bet. But first, maybe you should bune up on a fascinating, fast-growing branch of mathematics called *tho theory of probability." It may change your mind about the odds you face. The philosophical underpinnings of the theory were set 300 years ago, a November Reader's Digest article reports when agamblerasked the French mathem?tician and philosopher Blaise Pascal how to calculate the odds on a certain dice thrown the odds on certain dice th irws Pascals computations have bben used since to determ'ne matters ranging from the esoteric—the probable path of a neutron through heavy water to the everyday- how many times you'll turn heads in flipping a coin. Flip a coin three times and each time it comes up heads. Most people would say the odds favored tails on the next try But din't bet on it. Actually no m-tter how many times a flipped coin lands, heads, the probability of heads on the next try remains one out of two, says author Martin Gardner in the article. By PHIL SHOOK Each year, during Spring Quarter, a year's work on one project is distributed among the students of this campus. This is, of course, the distribution of Western Carolina Unlver- sUy's annual, The Catamount This year, the students of this institution can expect what may be considered to be a drastic change in The Catamount. Bill Gray, editor of The Catamount, says, "£<peet a now look in The Catamount." These changes will take place in two categories. First, there will be some rearrangements within the contents of the yearbook; and, second, there will be an interesting supplement employed in this year's Catamount Rearrangement plans within the book are, as yet, incomplete. Additions to the usual Cata» mount will include a Spring Quarter Supplement, home towns listed with each students name and picture in the class sections, a complete faculty section which will be divided by schools and departments, and in enlarged section on the University's academic life. The Spring Qi.arter Supplement, will consist of approxi~ mately 25 pages covering spring sports, Msy Day activities, and a "Student Life Section.» This supplement will be mailed to the studants during the middle of the summer months at his home. It will have a type of adhesive back cover which can be permanently attached to the Catamount, which the student will have alrealy received. Gray pointed ■> ii. tnl, in order for the Catamount to be released io the students within a "reasonable" amount of time after Spring Quarter begins, one of three measures had ~.o be taken, He listed these as being, "Either no coverage Spring Quarter, a Fall Quarter delivery dae for the previous year's annual, or the Spring Quarter Supplement** In the past years, the Spring Qi.arter section, in part, relied on the previous, year's Spring Quarter activities Gray stated i hat, "The major purpose of the supplement is to have a book covering the entire school year, rather than just two quarters."

According to Gray, the Cata= mount will be operating on a limited budget this year. The Catamount staff requested about publication, and a factory of many ideas." Gray concluded by saying that, "In order for this year's Catamount to be a success, the student body must do its part of the work involved. For CONTINUED Page 8 ..... .

He stated that, "The budget was not as large this year, proportionally, as it has been in the past," Last year, the color alme in the annual cos! 51,700, Gray expects, howevor, to have "at least as much, if not nore, color in this year's annual than i.ilas! year's annuaL" Dr. Cons'.v.itz, theCatamj ui! staff's advisor; Judy Love, the associate editor, and Gray, attended the annual Columbia Scholastic Press Association Workshop and Convention the 13th and 14th of this month in New York City.
