Claims the No Left Turn Laws Ar
Wise But Usdess Unless
Subject To Study
In his lecture on Highway Traf-
fic Control yesterday afternoon i
the auditorium of the Natural Sci-
ence Building, Prof. Robert L. Mor-
rison of the Department of High-
way Engineering and Highwa3
Transport spoke of the twofolk
aims of traffic. "Sometimes thes
objectives are reached at the se
time, as in parking regulations
and sometimes they enter intC
conflict with each other througl
speed rules," Professor Morrison
stated.
Some rather illuminating statis-
tics presented by Professor Morri-
son stress rather vividly the gravity
of the traffic problem. In 192
there were 27,000 people killed in
automobile accidents, or about as
many people as there are living in
the city of Ann Arbor. Since about
35 people were injured to every
one killed, there were approximate-
ly 1,000,000 casualties last year. In
other words, if in every block in
Ann Arbor there were a hospital
comparable to the University Hos-
pital, there still would not be suf-
ficient room to accomodate the
people injured.
Suggests Traffic Survey
According to Professor Morrison,
the proper methods for preventing
traffic fatalitiefs lie primarily in
scientific diagnosis or traffic survey.
Uniform traffic regulations enforc-
ed by a sane and impartial police
and court administration, wide pas-
ses, improved street layout, and the
cutting back of curves would sim-
plify matters immensely. Perhaps
one of the most prolific causes of
accidents is the no-left-turn law.
"There are a great many places
where a no left turn regulation is
very wise, but unless study is made
before and after the rule is applied,
not only to the intersection in
question but also to the adjacent
ones, there can be no assurance
that the matter will be remedied,"
the lecturer stated.
Condemns Guess Work
Proper driver's license laws,
wherein the feeble-minded, insane,
and confirmed drunkards would be
eliminated, would relieve the situa-
tion, and if traffic signal lights
and pavement markings were estab-
lished as the result of intelligent
study rather than guess work, the
number bf fatalities would be
greatly decreased," he intimated.
"Until we use a little scientific in-
vestigation instead of superstitious
faith, let us not forget that we still
live in a glass house," was one of
the significant statements in Pro-
fessor Morrison's lecture.

Although planned as an experi-
ment the Convocation service pres-
enting Tolstoy's "Reurrection"
Sunday evening in the Lydia Men-
delssohn theater was received with
appreciation sufficient to justify
the continuation of similar services
by the Student Chrisian Associa-
tion. Its success was its being
built around the central theme of
the "Resurrection," but still more
to the vivid interpretation of that
theme by Reverend Allison Ray
Heaps, of the Congregational
church.
Sketches Toystoy's Life
As preparation for his analysis
of the moral taught by the "prophet
of the simple life," Rev. Heaps
sketched briefly the life of Tolstoy,
showing the long struggle of the
man who though born an aristocrat
became obsessed with the question
of the meaning of life, and set forth
to solve it. Years of repeated dis-
illusion as each rainbow he chased
failed to present the pot of gold
did not dishearten him, and at
length, in the Sermon on the Mount
he professed to have found his
answer.
But it did not bring the rest he
sought, and though he lived his
creed of brotherhood, good will, and
faith among the peasants, he was
haunted by the hopeless state of
his country until death brought
him the escape he could not find
in life. In "Resurrection" he gave ,
the world a, summary of his philo-
sophy of life, redemption through
sacrifice.
Shows Colored Slides !
The unfolding of the story was
more striking by the colored slides)
adapted from the motion picture,,
and Rev. Heaps' well worded com-'
ments and keenly analytical dis-
cussion of the philosophy portrayedi
by the story gave it a deeper sig-
nificance for all those who heard
him.
The words which Rev. Heaps ap-
plied to the forepart of the service!
might well be extended to include
the whole-that nothing but the
presence of an organ could have;
added to the atmosphere of devo-
tion and reverence.-
