CAMPUS UPDATE, April 25, 1979, page 3 Aiding road accident victims This is the second in a series of articles on emergency first-aid Measures. LONDON, Eng. (Observer)— Fire is one of the’ real dangers of a crash, so make sure the ignitions of all cars involved are turned off and don’t let anyone smoke near the scene. Avoid pile-ups bv stopping the traffic at least 200 meters away —preferably with a warning triangle or light. Get someone to telephone for an ambulance. Do not pull anyone injured out of a car or try to speed things up by rushing a victim to the hospital yourself. Moving the injured is a job for the experts and you might make the damage worse. The exception is if there is danger of an explosion, when the casualty should be moved as gently as possible. If a pedestrian is knocked down, try not to move him. Treat for shock if he is conscious, give artifi- cial respiration if not. Any injured person will be suffer- ing from shock —a killer in its own right — and anyone trapped in a car might panic. You can help by treating him for shock. Undo any tight clothing, cover him with a coat or blanket, but don’t overheat him. Try to chat gently to take his mind off things. nyone wearing a seat belt when an accident happens might have a whiplash i injury to the neck — and nearly So gently, with one hand on either side of his face, lift the chin upwards to clear the airway and make his breathing easier. ny heavy external bleeding must be stopped quickly.

New ways continued from page 1 also discovered that each student government is set up slightly dif- ferent. For example, West Shore Community College has a vice pres- ident of finances which is basical- ly the same as a treasurer. All colleges in attendance wrestle with student apathy. They ques- tioned ‘the effectiveness of the in- troduction a new student receives to their’ college. President of Alpena’ Community College Stu- dent Senate Paul Meyers pointed out, “During orientation, most students don’t know what's going on and by the time they know *what i is going on, they are asopho- | more. A brainstorming session took place among the group in an effort to improve orientation and increase student interest. Last year at Mid Michigan Com- munity College, during orientation, a video tape was shown of the previous year’s student government. we ee aid ae) student rather th Tinimpressive name. ie was sug- gested that the student newspaper interview each candidate with a picture accompanying it. This, too, would introduce the students to their campus. Another measure was taken towards grasping student interest by the student government advisor ~ at Mid Michigan Community Col- lege. He challenged students -working the polls to get 300 students to vote. After being challenged they gathered 307. The group also discussed en- vironmental problems. ACC and West Shore Community College have no central place for students to. gather which inhibits student unity. An activity during the day is more difficult to plan and pre- sent when students are scattered. Student government members are not exempt from the crime of student apathy. Some members have a tendency to skip student — government meetings. The active student. representatives showed considerable concern. Debo Atoyebi, a foreign student from Nigeria, Africa, said, ‘If you are not going to show up to a meeting, give a member a call.” A vote by proxy system for important matters when the representative found it im- possible to attend was also sug- gested. The community college repre- sentatives departed to their re- spective institutions with tested and newborn ideas to apply to- wards future campus harmony. ~
