ESTABLISHED 1890 _.. s Apr Vol. XXXVIII, No. 12. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1927. -DEAN SUGGESTS AUTO' RULE RELAXATION TO REGENTS AT MEETING BURSLEY PROPOSES PERMITS FOR THREE CLASSES (1F STUDENTS SUGGESTION IS APPROVED Married, Local, and Part-time Groups Now Allowed to Drive After Recent Conference Relaxation of the automobile regula- tions for certain groups of students, which, while too numerous to be class- ed as "exceptional and extraordinary" would suffer unnecessary hardship and inconvenience if the letter of the ruling were enforced, was asked by the office of the dean of students from the Board of Regents riday night. The classes affected, according to an announcement yesterday by Dean Joseph A. Bursley, will, be first the married students; seconu the part- time students; and third students liv- ing with their parents in Ann Arbor. Would Work Unnecessary Hardship. 'It has been assumed that the regu- lation was directed primarily against the use by students of automobiles and motorcycles as pleasure vehicles or as a means of conveyance except where absolutely necessary," the announce- ment reads. "In the cases of certain classes of students a strict interpreta- tion of the rule would work unneces- sary hardship and inconvenience. These groups include so many individ- uals that they can hardly be classed as 'exceptional and extraordinary' and the Regents were asked to allow this office to put a more liberal construc- tion on these words than it felt war- ranted in doing up to this time." The three groups refered to include the married students who need their cars for family use, the part-time students, and the students who live with their parents in Ann Arbor. The recommendation was made by the of- fice of the dean states that in general any students in the first two groups should be allowed the use of their motor cars, subject only to such minor restrictions as muay be found nece- sary. In regard to the third group, those who live with their parents in Ann Arbor, the announcement reads that: "Although the Regents wish to limit the use of cars by University students as far as possible, they do not desire to interfere unnecessarily with the family life of Ann Arbor residents. Therefore it was recommended that. upon the written request of the parcel ent, permission be given any Ann Arbor student to drive when neces- sary for the convenience of the family." Cannot Be Used For Pleasure. "In justice to other students," the report continues, "this permission can not include the use of the car for pleasure driving with other Univer- sity life unless the case be 'excep- tioonal and extraordinary.' " The Regents approved all of the re- commendations made by Dean Bursley in principle, and also approved the reduction in the license fee on student automobiles from $5.00 to $.00. Of all the groups affected, the larg- est number of pejmits have been is- sued to married students who need their cars for family purposes, while those using their cars for business constitutes a large group in second place. The number of permits issued to Ann Arboi students is the third largest of those classes affected. The questions submitted to the Regents are almost entirely matters of p6licy rn enforcing the rule, and do not constitute any change in the principle of the regulation. The questions submitted by the office of the dean for consideration were ques- tions of interpretation only. PURDUE AUTOMOBILE BAN IS VIOLATED BY STUDENTS PURDUE, Oct. 1,-Reckless driv- ing by University students in their "rattle-trap collegiate" cars was one of the principal subjects brought be- fore the city council of West Lafayette at its last meeting when N. B. Moore of West Lafayette brought to the at- tention of the council the fact that the driving of University students is caus- ing mu.ch uneasiness to local citizens and many lives are being endangered by this fast and reckless driving. Following the discussion, the coun- cil decided that although there is a ban on student driven cars, more stu- dents than ever are now driving cars. Orders were issued to the police de- partment to arrest all violators of the speed and reckless driving law.

Mortimer Shuter general director of the production, and Paul Buckley, director of the Michigant U nion.,, "The Same To You" will constitute the twenty-second annual production of the Mimes of the Michigan Union. Vincent C. Wall, Jr., '2S, and Thomas, J. Dougall, '28, are joint authors of, the book, while most of the music has been written by William M. Lewis, Jr., '29. Wall is music and drama editor of The Daily, and held one of the leading, roles in last year's opera, as did Doug- all. Lewis was leading lady in "Fronti Page Stuff," and also contributed; music and lyric to the score. Iloyer W ill Assist. Roy Hoyer, leading man with Fred Stone in 'Criss Cross" will again lend his assistance in arranging the dances, the first steps of which are now being directed by Lewis. The costumes for "The Same To You" will again be the creations of Lester, of Chicago. Lead- ing members of the cast were in the latter city last week end for fittings and in order to have pictures taken for publicity purposes. The pictures were taken by Paul Stone of the Raymour studios, who has doie the work for Mimes' productions for several years. Lester has but recently returned from, Paris with several new creations ex- pressly designed for the 1927 opera. The plot of "The Same To You" has been fashioned along more modern lines than those in past operas, stated Mr. Shuter. It deals with the theft of a number of bonds which leads to an intrigue involving many prominent, people. The music, likewise is written in a style that is a radical departure from that in past performances. The operetta style made popular by "Thue ST.

Members of the Ameri- can Legion, among the 5,000 volunteer workers, recall the battle-ruined towns- of France and declare they pre- sent no more desolate appearancel than the tornado-torn section of St. Louis. Likened To War Conditions They pointed to the similarity of sentiment which drew both the French wartime sufferers and the lo- cal sufferers from the storm to cling as long as conditions permitted about the only places on earth to call home. Even in today's rain, women and men lingered, about heaps of ruined masonry and splintered wood. Here and there were women sitting discon- solately viewing shapeless heaps, recognizable only to them. They packed what goods they could retrieve on some of the 75 moving vans provided through the Red Cross, and started a sad exodus, following the vans on foot, carrying some par- ticularly precious possession. Many of them were headed out into St. Louis county to, find new homes or temporary stopping places. Relief Fund Needed A relief fund of half a million dol- lars is needed immediately it was an- nounced by Alfred Fairbanks, vice- chairman of the Citizen's Disaster Re-. lief committee.

Another unusual feature to be incorporated in the show will be that of a stage orchestra to be used in the cabaret scene.

THREE ARE INJURED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT Three persons were injured, two of them seriously, when the car in which they were coming to the Ohio Wesley- an game yesterday afternoon left the road north of the city. Miss Lovisa Stedman, of Brighton, suffered the most serious injuries of the three and is in the University hospital with a fractured skull.
