Nursing makes careful selections Enraoy uinidleFg© eisieoiniges State University student from Salt Lake City said he doesn’t travel home as much as he used to because it takes longer and costs alot more for gasoline “The traveling I do around Logan hasn’t changed” by Allen Chournos for Student Life One Is the imposition of the 55 mile per hour speed limit a favorable thing? An interview with a Utah State Highway Patrol authority working out of the Cache District a Logan City trucker and several Utah State University students would indicate that some possible changes are upcoming Statistically the Highway Patrol authority said that no formal report has been received as yet but from personal knowledge he knows the accident rate in Utah is considerably less this year “There aren’t half as many highway deaths in Utah this year as there were last year” he said The authorities said that primary roads could easily miles handle speeds up to per hour without there being an increase in traffic accidents "However secondary road speed limits should be kept at 55 miles per hour because that’s where most accidents occur” he said A Logan City trucker said he is losing money when he compares his present profit rate to the days when his trucks were allowed to travel 70 miles per hour “I admit we use less fuel and lubricants but our accident rate hasn’t changed because truck accidents been have very always 65-7- 0 minimal” he added According to the Highway Patrol authority the new speed limit hasn’t had much effect on Cache Valley “Of course US 89 and US 30 are the only roads we have where the speed limit ever exceeded 55 miles per hour There are still as many traffic accidents in Logan Canyon Logan City and throughout the valley” he said The Logan trucker said that the new speed limit has had no effect on his business in this valley “It’s when we hit the freeway that we lose time and money I guess you could say the new speed limit affects the income I receive as a resident of this valley but as to the saving of energy and decreasing of traffic accidents no change has taken place” he said by Christy Webb for Student Life One of the most needed and useful fields is also one of the most difficult in which to get Utah accepted at USU The Nursing school at USU is competitive and students are selected carefully “Weber State and USU work cooperatively with this he said The Highway Patrol authority said people in this valley generally obey the speed limit “We have had to double our efforts with radar set ups and the public is finally keeping their speed to 55 miles per hour on the applicable roads” he said The authority added that statewide reports show people are still miles inclined to travel at per hour on the freeways The Logan trucker said as a general rule most of the traffic exceeds 55 miles per hour on the freeways “Secondary roads are built such that it is unsafe for vehicles to exceed the speed limit but cars are always passing us truck drivers” he said One Utah State University student said he exceeds the speed limit because his car is geared to run more economically at speeds greater than 60 miles per hour The Highway Patrol authority doesn’t think that the 55 mile per hour speed limit will be changed right away He said that Governor Rampton is very pleased with the decrease in traffic accidents “It will take a 65-7- program” The Logan trucker said the speed limit will have to increase at least for freeway driving He noted also that across the nation turck drivers are at the present time refusing to strike for an increased speed limit “We need support from the public” he said The trucker added that we have to keep in mind a rapid growing society whose needs must be served “Science must be allowed to research and introduce into society new energy resources” Marge Program on campus Each year students interested in Nursing must first apply to be accepted at Weber State Upon being accepted
