CORVALLIS - The 1995 Summer
Session Bulletin is now available from Oregon
State University, with offerings that range
from chemistry to English, the philosophy of
dying and the study of Alfred Hitchcock films.
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,

The theme of this year’s summer

on Alfred Hitchcock's thriller, 'Dial M for
Murder,' and is consistent with OSU's success
theme," said Debbie Bird, OSU summer session
coordinator.

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.

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.
