Pyle, who has been president of the National Safety Council for 10 years, told the conference that the percentage of highway fatalities was five times greater in 1962-6than in the previous r period. He said slightly more than 38,000 American men had been killed in Vietnam since the early 1960s, compared with more than 340,000 deaths on U.S. highways during the same period. And yet no one is mad about that, Pyle said. Until we get as stirred up over highway deaths as we are about the Vietnam War we simply arent going to make the progress in highway safety that we could. He urged that more money and effort be given to the traffic safety acts of 1966 and to enabling legislation at state levels to reduce the traffic toll. 8 four-yea- Qraimtis Scholar Program deserves the highest esteem of all universities and colleges in Utah, writes Ronald C. Gossling, as- sistant coordinator of financial aids at BYU. As a token of our support for this program for the betterment of youth, we will award each of the 12 Sterling Scholar winners a tuition and fees scholarship. Further financial consideration will be available if the applicants are qualified. If Sterling Scholar winners already have a scholarship offer from BYU, they must choose one only. Utah State University will be happy to join the other r schools in offering to any or all 12 Sterling Scholar Award winners a scholarship covering tuition and fees for one year, said Dr. Stanford Cazier, assistant to Dr. Glen L. Taggart, USU president. Tuition and fees may be available for succeeding years based on the students performance," Cazier sale..
