Pennsylvania Judge Says College Men Are Good Drivers but Terrify Others

Also Calls Truck Drivers Best, Women Worst: Only Seen One Tipsy Driver Student

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

College men are good drivers but aley terrify everyone else on the road!"

This is the opinion, as expressed to the "Daily Pennsylvanian", of Judge Harvard S. McDevitt, a Pennsylvania alumnus who tries traffic violators in Philadelphia.

"The student driver usually has perfect control of his car," said the Judge, "but the way he drives scares a lot of other materials into accidents."

Speaking of the university men who appear before him, he said. "I don't know what to do about them. Much as I hate to be hard on the boys, they've got to realize that driving at 60 is a menace. My usual penalty for second offenders is the suspension of their licenses for a week. None of the fellows thus punished have been caught another time."

Judge McDevitt testified that during all his years on the bench he has only come across one Pennsylvania student who was arrested for driving under the influence of intoxicants.

"The finest drivers," he declared, "are truck drivers. Their judgment skill, and coordination are perfect. And the worst drivers, without a doubt are women."
