Janice R. Wes t'by, a specialist in accident prevention at the School of Public Health, began to describe a special study 0f two - wheeled motor vchilce Kcidents amon IJXC students or re. The f'.ur - month study was a lorn! ciiture involving the S'udent Health Service, the of fice of the Dean of Men and the Sf hool of Public Health. "This uas not a. ban - the -bike, mowmer.t,". Miss Wes taby emphasized. "It was just a lonk at the motorbike rid ers and their habits to see if we could save some of them from injuries." The multiplication of motor bikes on the j;c campus has be' n spectacular. T.ne most re cent count showed one motor bike for every 10 cvrs about '0 student motorbikes and f,ro student cars. For the motorbike study here, medical reports and ac cident, reports were analyzed und most of the injured stu dents were interviewed.

Ban day and the day of the week, the weather, who owned t h e motorbike, was a passenger in volved, was another vehicle involved and did the injured student own and use protective equipment." Fifty - eight injury - produc ing accidents were reported during the four months. This number was considered 1 o w because the study period was interrupted by a three - week Christmas vacation and a be tween - semesters recess. One of the biggest surprises in the study was a finding that almost half of the accidents involved another motor vehicle. Either the motorbike struck a car or vice versa. "Our conclusion," Miss Wes taby said, "is that we're deal ing with inexperienced bike riders and we're dealing with auto drivers inexperienced in coping with a new problem." Details of the accidents point ed to a failure of the motor bikes to follow generally ac cepted auto traffic patterns. "The kids ride motorbikes as if they're following kicycle rul es rather than automobile rul es," Miss Westaby observed. Freshmen had the most mo torbike accidents (55 per cent). "This reflects only that this was also the largest group at risk," Miss Westaby hastened to point out. "More freshmen owned two wheeled motor ve hicles." (UNC freshmen are not per mitted to own. four - wheel ed motor vehilces.)

A surprising number of the injured students were riding borrowed bikes one of ev ery four. "An interesting side note of our study is the fact that one vehicle was involved in four injury producing accident, each accident was a different operator," Miss Westably re called. The most accident - free day was Monday. Half of the accidents occur red on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and about two of every three accidents happen ed between noon and 8 p.m. Head injuries were the most serious results of bike acci dents but, fortunately, were the least frequent. Injuries to the legs from the knee down oc curred most frequently in the study. Half of the 97 injuries in the 58 accidents were classi fied as severe. In this cate gory were death, concussion with loss of consciousness, cuts requiring stitches, fractures, second - degree burns and in ternal injuries. One student in every four required hospitalization. Two students have died in motor bike accidents so far this school year. Also interesting was a find ing that about half of the op erators of lightweight motorcy cles surveyed as a part of the study owned protective equip ment (helmets, booots, face 6:45 Ray Wilkinson 3:30 Farm News 4:00 7:00 Viewpoint with Jesse 4:30 Helms 7:05 Mike Wallace News 7:55 Mike Hight Weather 6:00 8:00 Mickey Mouse Club 6:20 8:30 Life of Riley 6:35 9:00 Fern me Fare Bette Elliott Si Jack LaLanne 6:40 9:55 Arlene Dahl 6:45 10:00 Time for Uncle Paul 7:00 10:30 Donna Reed 7:30 11:00 Supermarket Sweep 8:30 11:30 The Dating Game 9:00 12:00 High Noon News 9:30 12:30 Father Knows Best 10:00 1:00 Ben Casey 11:00 2:00 Confidential for Women 2:30 A Time for Us 11:30 2:55 News 3:00 General Hospital ALL GRADUATING SENIORS SHOULD MAKE RESERVATIONS at once for renlal of ACADEMIC REGALIA THE BOOK EXCHANGE PINE ROOM SNACK BAR AND CAFETERIA Open Daily 7:00-12:00 Mon.-Fri.

Four of every five vehicl es lacked protective devices such as leg guards, exhaust guards, spill bars and ignition cutoffs. Out of the four - month stu dy have come three possible courses of action to prevent motorbike injuries among UNC students: (1) regulation of the activities of the riders; (2) ed ucation of the drivers to saf er riding habits and protect ion from injury; and (3) a combination of education and regulation. 'Regulation alone won't solve the problem," Miss Wes taby maintains. "Regulation of itself adds additional problems of enforcement, inspection and so forth. "In addition, regulation of motorcycle use on the campus and - or in Chapel Hill may be of little value." She believes that regulation must be statewide and must cover all motorcycle riders if it is to have any meaning. She would place the main fo cus on education but she fa vors limited regulation, with emphasis on special licensing. "If the motorcycle operator understands why he should fol low certain safety precautions and is motivated to follow them," she said, "the cause will be better served than if he is forced to do something he doesn't understand and re sents."

In the area of personal con duct, the sororities pledged to both remind their members of the existing rules and expect them to follow these rules. They also said that they hoped to instill a sense of personal obligation to the University and to impress upon the girls that the moral and social values im plicit in the teaching of the sororities provide standards they should uphold.
