'Phe tiny nation of South Vietnam is now under seige by more than one million communist regulars. Projected data from the Defense Department state that from the 3 (ton Americans already killed in this ation, oO.OOO more American hoys can l)e expected to lose their lives in the con-fl- i( during the next K years. Is this an American tragedy? The only patriotic answer could he perhaps. But the loss of men and equipment in Vietnam during the past five years is equivalent to only three weeks of death and loss on American highways. Is this an American tragedy? The only patriotic answer would be unquestionably. Yet. it is a fact that since the first American was bilk'd by an automobile in New York City in 1808, death on American highways has skyrocketed to prohoo Since more Americans 1.800, that portions. year, nearly than hae lost their lives in all the wars our nation has ever fought have died on our roads. Sim-this problem is so gigantic and growing, what can be done to solve it? Congress is presently attempting to pass certain legislation providing for safer automobiles and auto equipment, hut the question is undoubtedly asked, Can a law sae a life? and the answer undoubtedly given by both tliymlo industry and the Congress is No. All agree that unless the American people themselves can become at least somewhat more interested in becoming better drivers, the death toll will surge still higher. As members ol this studentbody. we should make it part of our lrves to strive for better driung habits both in oursehes and in others. The destruction in life and property is clear and factual. Our course must be equally as firm and unchanging. V e must become more aware of the great responsibilitv w (' take upon us as we wheel thiee toils m' Americas material resources and ingenuity down our roads. Ye must learn to drive defensively, always watching out foilin' mistakes ot others as well as ourselves. We must learn to drive in cooperation with other drivers. n't us do our part in keeping our battlefields in t di.-a.-ternis 1 I feel the necessity at this time of writing hnelly seme thoughts at the beginning of this school year to the studentbody.

The opportunities to learn and to serve here are unsurpassed in any like institutions. We should all take great satisfaction and pride in being a part of it. However, along with our pride, we should all have a sense of enthusiasm or school spirit. I do not speak of a sense of destructiveness. only of participation in school functions and activities.
