URSDAY MARCH 19, 1959 THE MICHIGAN DAILY . (JRSDAY, MARCH 19, 1959 THE MICHIGAN DAILY AMA Publishes Guide To SetDriver Fitness A new guide to assist physicians in determining the fitness of mo- torists to drive was published re- cently by the American Medical Association. The guide was prepared by the committee on medical aspects of automobile injuries and oeaths, following a two-year study. One of the chief members of the committee was Prof. Seward E. Miller of the industrial health and hygiene department. The guide's purpose is to call attention to the areas in, which the medical profession may bd of help in combating the serious health problem caused by the large number of automobile acci- dents, the committee said. Notes "Human Failure" Pointing out that about 37,000 people were killed and five million seriously injured in automobile accidents in 1958, the report noted "human failure overshadows all other factors 'in the production of highway accidents. The human mechanism must be in good con- dition to cope with the split sec- ond timing needed to maneuver high speed motor vehicles." It added, "The key to ultimate success in automobile accident prevention lies in the driver - his intelligence, his sense of per- sonal and social responsibility, his reactions to various stimuli in normal conditions and under stress and his driving ability in good health and in illness." Provide Questions In general, the guide stated, an individual should be assessed radi- cally to determine the answers to the following questions: 1 Has the patient any physical and mental ability to manipulate the controls? 2) Is the patient likely to suffer excessive fatigue that will impair his driving ability? 3) Does the patient have the required vision and hearing for safe driving? 4) Has the patient any physical or mental disorder likely to cause confusion or a sudden loss of con- sciousness while driving? 5) Is the patient likely to suffer a temporary impairment of men- tal, physical or functional capa- city due to alcohlo, drugs, infec- tions or medical treatment? and 6) Does the patient have good emotional control or has he signs of antisocial behavior or an emo- tional disturbance making it un- safe for him to drive? Physician Qualified to Judge The committee reported that the physician is qualified by train- ing to ascertain the physical, mental, emotional or physiologi- cal impairments of an individual. He is in a good position to evalu- ate these impairments in relation to safe driving ability. Often, it may be necessary for a physician, recognizing his re- sponsibility for the safety of his patient and the public, to caution the patient against driving for a certain period of time or even permanently. "It is probable that the next decade will see a greatly increased emphasis upon more stringent physical standards for licensing. It is believed that more and more patients will turn to their physi- cians for advice and assistance in this regard," the committee pre- dicted. Scientists, Engineers, Want Action A sizable minority of scientists and engineers in large business firms favor collective action to im- prove their salary and social status. University interviews in 10 major firms point out that one in five of these professional employees regard some form of collective action as necessary. However, half those interviewed (50 per cent) were strongly op- posed to any form of collective bargaining for scientists and engi- neers and another large group (29 per cent) were mildly opposed to this idea. Three per cent had no opinion. Prof. John W. Riegel, director of the Bureau of Industrial Rela- tions, disclosed the preliminary findings early today. The Bureau will publish a complete analysis of interviews with more than 250 scientists and engineers on the question in June. The title of the publication will be "Unorganized Engineers' and Scientists' Opinions of Collective Bargaining for Pro- fessionals Like Themselves." Other findings of the interview- ing were: 1) There are no significant dif- ferences between scientists and engineers in attitudes toward col- lective bargaining. 2) There is no significant rela- tionship between ratings of an in- dividual's performance and his at- titude toward collective bargain- ing. 3) There is quite a high rela- tionship between how an indivi- dual feels about his salary and how he views collective bargain- ing. 4) There are wide differences in attitudes toward collective bar- gaining among scientists and en- gineers working for different firms, based largely on satisfaction with salary and treatment by manage- ment. Police Arrest Drunk Student An injured, intoxicated 29- year-old University medical stu- dent was apprehended last night after a brief tussle with two po- lice officers near State and Mon- roe streets. He was walking home, police records say, when he fell on the sidewalk and cut his moth. The right side of his face was swollen and his clothes were torn. Officers said in a report that they fought with him and finally got him strapped to a stretcher- with the aid of two ambulance at- tendants. The student fought and swore all the way to University Hospital, they added. The hospital said last night he is still under observation, though in "apparently good condition.'' When released from the hospi- tal, the police report said, he will be charged with drunk and dis- orderly conduct. C", Many Qualified Students Face Financial Trouble I1 CHALLENGED BY IVES: Creal Affirms Interest in 'U' (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fourth in a series that will exploret the extent and character of reten-I tion, transfer and withdrawal of stu- dents from colleges and universities.S It is based on a report released by the Office of Education of the United State Department of Health, Educa- tion and Welfare.)1 By SELMA SAWAYA 1 "In college, as in the market1 place, the ability of the consumerf to pay for the product is very im-e portant."I The report stated that, while not first in importance, the finan- cial difficulties which many high quality students face in entering; college must be reckoned with. 1 "Much attention has been given1 and more must be given to the problems of superior students who are at an economic disadvantage in financing the cost of attending high-quality colleges," it said. A "lack of financial resources is a major cause of transfer or of dropping out of college altogeth- er." Main Funds Sources In a study of the three main sources of funds for college study, -family contribution, self-sup- port and scholarships-the report' discovered that publicly controlled institutions of higher education enrolled students whose family: incomes were below the income level of the families of enrollees in privately controlled institutions. The average family income for' students enrolled in publicly con- trolled schools in 1953 was $5,243,; in privately controlled, $6,570. The difference of $1,327 represents more than the average total cost in 1952-53 of attending the aver- age publicly controlled institu- tions. . Earn Expense Money The report also discovered that students who attended publicly controlled institutions not only came from lower income families, but devoted more time to self- support and earned a greater per- centage of their expenses than did students in privately controlled schools. Students in public institutions who worked earned a median of 45 per cent of their expenses, compared with the median of 27 per cent of expenses for private school students who worked. Scholarship aid helped defray expenses for about 25 per cent of the students reporting, the Office said. However, the report said, it was not possible to examine in de- Organization Notices Christian Science Org., regular testi- mony meeting, March 19, 7:30 p.m., League: See bulletin board in main lobby for rm. no.

Receive Scholarships Gross comparisons show that large numbers of students from homes with high family incomes receive scholarship aid nonethe- less. To determine a true relation- ship, though, will require a furth- er study, which the Office has been carrying on since 1957, in cooperation with a number of schools and colleges. The report of this cooperative study will include certain com-. parisons with the findings of the retention and withdrawal study, with respect to financial factors involved in attending college. Catch Coeds InRobbery Two University coeds were caught shoplifting about 4 p.m. Saturday, according to police records. Tuesday one of them paid fine and costs of $50 at Municipal Court for larceny under $100. A clerk apprehended them in a local women's clothing store. Taken to the police station, they showed they had Bermuda shorts, athletic socks, dresses, belts, vita- min pills and other merchandise. They admitted stealing it from various stores. Cecil 0. Creal, Republican can- didate for mayor of Ann Arbor, Monday night affirmed his loyal- ty to the University and his in- terest in it. Tuesday night his Democratic opponent, Lloyd M. Ives, ques- tioned it. Creal, said that on Jan. .28, "I publicly appealed to our present mayor to work with our state legislators and seek an early solu- tion to the financial crisis and help prevent payless paydays in Ann Arbor." On Feb. 3, he declared, he called for "a unified effort" supporting a "Chamber of Commerce resolu- tion for distribution of funds on a pro-rata basis to all state agen- cies including the University." On March 9, he added, he "pleaded directly with our state officials and legislators to forget partisan politics" and solve the financial crisis. He declared he would co his efforts to "see that the ernor and legislators not solve the immediate crisis bu vide an ample budget whic enable the University to o in a proper manner." Creal blamed the fin crisis on "the Democratic Administrative Board, showed their willingness t criminate against the Uni and higher education in the portionment of available f For further evidence of h7 alty to Ann Arbor, Creal p to his "thirty years of civ community leadership."
