The Joint Judiciary Council
yesterday issued a clarification
and synthesis of the Automobile
Code in the form of a letter to
all presidents of University hous-
ing units.
The reason behind the letter is
the "great number of driving vio-
lations in the short time since the
semester began," Joel Levine, '60,
Joint Judic chairman, explained.
The Council, in its role as "peer
counselor" to the student body,
feels that it is both appropriate
and advantageous to inform the
whole student body of the auto-
mobile regulations at this time,
he continued.
"There is a booklet, the Auto-
mobile Code, which is supposed to
be given to every student at regis-
tration," Levine said. But many
students seem unaware of ' the
rules, or even that a booklet ex-
ists.
Levine Explains
With Christmas vacation ap-
proaching, many students will
want to bring their automobiles
to campus, he explained. For this
reason, Joint Judic thought this
an especially good time to review
and present the regulations.
"We don't want to see students
brought before the Council- be-
cause they are not aware of the
regulations - not that this is an
excuse," Levine said.
The following letter was sent to
housing unit presidents and is
part of a general information
campaign sponsored by Joint Ju-
dic:
No one while in attendance at
the University may have or oper-
ate an, automobile in the Ann Ar-
bor area (as defined in the Regu-
lations Booklet)-, unless the stu-
dent is 21 years of age or if his
parents reside in the Ann Arbor
area or if he is married (or if
under 21 years of age, with spe-
cial permission*), and has regis-
tered his automobile with the Of-
fice of Student Affairs. Note that
the regulation applies to the pres-
ence as well as the operation of
an automobile. The students
should be aware then from the
above explanation that having
and driving an automobile is a
privilege rather than a right. Prior
to Sept., 1956, this privilege was
given only to students 26 years of
age' or older. At that time the Re-
gents extended this privilege to
students 21 years of age or older
on a testing and trial basis. In an
effort to ensure the permanence
of this newly granted privilege, it
is up to the students to observe
conscientiously the driving regu-
lations.
Must Register Cars
Starting with the basic propo-
sition that all automobiles must
be registered, the following should
be clearly understood. A student
over 21 years of age may register
an automobile which is owned by
himself, or his parents, or some
other student who is over 21 years
of age. He may not register an
automobile owned by a minor or a
minor's parents. A minor may
register and drive an automobile,
for special limited use, which is
owned only by his parents or
himself. Registration under the
provisions of this code is required
even though the automobile may
be legally owned by the student's
spouse who may not be a student.
The information required before
permission for registration is
granted includes:
1) State license plate number.
2) Driver's license number.
3) Name, policy number, and
expiration date of public liability
and property damage insurance'
on the automobile in question.
4) Location of the automobile'
when not in use.
5) Letter of parental approval
In the case of minors.
Allows for Permits
*It was mentioned before that1

with special permission, a student
under 21 years of age may regis-
ter his or his parent's automobile.
What then are the various special
permits available and what are
the criteria for obtaining theme
in the case of minors.
1) CommutingV C" permit) -
student must prove that he lives
more than 11/2 miles from the cen-
ter of campus and clearly show
the inadequacy of bus service..
2) Business ("B" permit)-stu-
dent must furnish a letter from
his employer stating that said stu-
dent is in his employ and that his
business is of such nature that it
is necessary that the student op-
erate an automobile to carry out
his business activities, or that

I

travel by automobile is required
to reach his place of business due
to the inadequacy of commercial
transportation.
3) Health or Disability ("H"
permit)-student must furnish a
written statement from the Direc-
tor of the University Health Serv-
ice stating that said student 'is
physically handicapped in such a
way as to require the use of an
automobile.
4) Temporary and Miscellane-
ous Use ("T" permit)--temporary
permits may be granted for those
instances when due to family re-
sponsibilities, illness, etc., need for
an automobile for a short period
of time is necessary.
Limit Purpose
All of the above special permits
are limited to the purpose for
which they were acquired. These
limitations are clearly set out in
the regulations booklet and should
be fully understood and adhered
to. Students should further be
aware that the Joint Judiciary
Council has the power to levy a
maximum fine of $50' for the first
infraction. Misuse of a special
permit is considered and dealt
with severely. Students may ob-
tain three temporary weekend so-
cial permits each semester as ap-
proved by the Office of Student
Affairs. The Council wishes to
point out that the temporary
weekend social permits makes
available to the student under 21
years of age the same privileges
accorded to those over 21 years of
age but on a short term basis.
There is yet one other permit
available to those students under
21 years of age; that being a
Storage ("S" permit). In order to
qualify for such a permit, the stu-
dent must live 175 miles or more
from Ann Arbor. This permit is
highly restrictive in that the Auto-
mobile may not be parked on city
streets or on University property
nor can it be driven at any time
without prior permission from the
Office of Student Affairs.
Several other important details
should be mentioned. Students
Adult Studies
On Increase
The Division of Adult Education
of Wayne State University and the
University has recorded a 36 per
cent enrollment increase since
last year.
The statistical study showed a
total of 4,379 students registered
for the 143 courses offered by the
division as compared to the 3,286
who took 94 courses last year.
Dr. Hamilton Stillwell, director
of the Division, said that the larg-
est number of students, 3,002, are
attending classes at the Univer-
sity's Rackham Building and on
the Wayne State campus.
The liberal arts program has
more than 1,200 adult enrollees.
Of these, 300 are studying foreign
languages. French and Russian are
the most popular languages of-
fered. Attending music appreeia-
tion courses are 110 students and
331 have selected English and lit-
erature as their area of study. One
hundred and fifty adults 65 or
older have been attracted by the
reduced fee plan for people in
their age group.
Enrollment in the Retail Edu-
cation program has increased from
376 a year ago to 383 this year.
Classes offered in public school
adult education centers in the sub-
urbs have shown an increase from
162 to 199. There are 230 students
attending classes in Ann Arbor.
Faculty members from both
Wayne State and the University
teach in the program, using the
two universities' facilities both in
Ann Arbor and Detroit.

Union Needs
Student Tutors
Qualified students are invited
to register for the newly-reacti-
vated Michigan Union tutorial file,
3-5 p.m. daily at the Union stu-
dent offices.
Michael R. Turoff, '61BAd.,
chairman of the Union student af-
fairs committee, explained that
prospective tutors must have = at
least a 3.2 academic average in
the subject they wish to tutor.

often fail to register their auto-
mobile because they "can't affordI
it" at the time. Students MUST
always register their automobile
and in the event t at one's finan-
cial condition prohibits this, spe-
cial arrangements may be made
with the Office of Student Affairs.
Students should also be reminded
that THE STUDENT DRIVING,
PERMIT IS NOT A PARKING
PERMIT and DOES NOT grant
parking privileges in UNIVER-
SITY LOTS OR AREAS.
The permits that have been
mentioned- in this letter may be

obtained at the Office of Student
Affairs located on the third floor
of the Student,-Activities Building
between the hours of 8 to 12 and
1 to 5, Monday through Friday.
The' Joint Judiciary Council is
hopeful that the information pre-
sented here will help to clarify
some of the main points of the
automobile code and eliminate
confusion and misunderstanding.
Any questions concerning the reg-
ulations set out in the accompany-
ing booklet or 'their administra-
tion will gladly be answered by the
Office of. Student Affairs.
