The bulletin outlines more than 400 courses, as well as internships, research, thesis, and reading and conference programs. Free copies of the bulletin can be obtained by calling 503-737-8888 or 800- 375-9359. They can also be picked up on campus at the summer session office (n: Snell Hall, room 327; in the Rigistrar and Admissions Office; or at the circulation desk of the OSU Bookstore. The OSU Summer Session begins June 19 and will run through Sept. 1, with most classes running the eight-week session from June 19 to Aug. 11. Phone registration will began April 23. Several pre-college programs and on- campus youth recreation and sports programs are outlined in the brochure, along with housing and fee information, class schedules, registration procedures and special course offerings. The theme of this year’s summer session is "Dial S for Success." "It's a takeoff on Alfred Hitchcock's thriller, 'Dial M for Murder,' and is consistent with OSU's success theme," said Debbie Bird, OSU summer session coordinator. May 1995 13 Child Safety in Cars aking sure your child is proper ly secured in a safety seat is one of the most important things you can do to pro tect his or her life, because auto acci dents are respon sible for more child fatalities and injuries than all major childhood illnesses combined. State laws require young children to be secured in safety seats. But only you can be sure that a seat is properly installed. If not properly secured, it will not protect your child in an accident. Your child should be safely strapped into the seat, even if you’re only driving a few blocks. Most acci dents occur within 25 miles of the home. If you rationalize that there is no reason to go through the car seat ritual because you won’t be driving fast, understand that a crash at 30 miles per hour will throw an unstrapped child against the dash or the front seat with the same force as a fall from a third-story window. Also, it doesn’t make sense to think that you can safely hold your child in your arms during a car trip. The force of a collision would yank the child from your arms in an instant. Without the protection of a car seat, your child is at great risk from the near-misses — when you brake suddenly, or swerve wildly to avoid an obstacle in the road. By starting babies off in car seats from their first days, you will condi tion them to accept and expect it. An added bonus for the driver: children riding in safety seats by and large are quieter, less squirmy and generally better behaved. This becomes increasingly important as your child grows older. M As an extension of that theme, Bird said, the session will offer a free Alfred Hitchcock film series beginning June 23, featuring some of the best films of the genre. On a few evenings, a Hitchcock classic will be followed by a more current film maker's remake. The series may also be taken for credit. Among some of the more unusual course offerings at this year's summer session are special topic courses in philosophy, including Calvin and Hobbes Do Ethics; How Brave a New World? Ethics and Utopia; and How We Die: Philosophical Reflections-Life's Final Journey. Summer sequence courses can also allow a student to complete a year's work in one summer, in areas such as foreign languages, chemistry and English.
