(ACP)—Traffic law enforce
ment is taking on a new twist
for campus police at Michigan
State University, East Lansing,
this month.
February was Traffic Courte
sy Month at MSU, and the chiv
alrous motorists were rewarded
with movie passes to area t h e-
aters, the MICHIGAN STATE
NEWS reports.
Police patrols started the day
with three passes and looked for
motorists, pedestrians, and bi
cyclists to give them to.
If day patrols didn’t find
enough courteous motorists, the
passes were given to the night
shift for distribution.
The patrolmen themselves de
cided what constitutes an act
of courtesy.
The director of public safety
initiated the program. Though
engineering, education and en
forcement have lowered acci
dent rates, he said, they are in
adequate in themselves. "Lack
of courtesy is a big part of the
problem."
Though the emphasis will be on
law-abiding drivers, the director
said that "traffic violators will
not go unnoticed

as days of preparation for such
an enlarged service as we have
been privileged to receive. Cho
