POTTER BACKS RIGHT
OF SCHOOL TO EXPEL
AUTO BANIOLATORS
SAYS COURT WOULD UPHOLD
RIGHT OF REGENTS TO
ENFORCE RULING
QUESTION NOT LEGAL ONE
Attorney General Thinks University
Has Necessary Authority To
Discipline Violators
(y Assoiated Press)
LANSING, Oct. 29.-University of
Michigan authorities have the right
to expel students for operating auto-
mobiles, in the opinion of W. W. Pot-
ter, attorney general. Ile forwarded
a ruling to this effect today in reply
to a request from Courtland C. Smith,
president of the University Studet
council.
Th attorney general admitted that
the Board of Regents has no legal
right to prohibit the ownership or
operation of a motor vehicle by a stu-
dent, this right be governed by state
laws which do not discriminate against
students.
Cites Test Case
On the other hand, he believes the
University authorities have the right
to enforce rules deemed necessary
for the conduct of the University. The
attorney general cited a Supreme
court decision in the case of an Ypsi-
lanti co-ed who appealed from her
expulsion for smoking cigaretes. While
(igaret smoking on the street is not
illegal, the Supreme court ruled the
question involved was not one of le-
gality of the act, but of the reason-
ableness of the rules promulgated by
the Normal. The girl's expulsion was
upheld.
"Whether certain conduct or mis-
condu t is legal ground for expulsion
does z1ot depend upon whether the
conduct or misconduct itself is unlaw-
ful under state laws," Mr. Potter's
opion continued. "The smoking of
a pipe in a class room by a student is
not unlawful, but doubtless a student
who persisted in doing so might be
legally subject to expulsion.
Opinion Of Courts
"We are of the opinion the courts
would uphold the authority of the
Board of Regents of the University to
make the regulations relative to mo-
tor cars, and we are of the opinion the
Board of Regents is within its author-
ity in ruling that no student at the
University shall operate a motor veh-
icle, except in extraordinary cases un-
der the direction of the dean of stu-
dents. The enjoyment of attentling
public schools is necessarily condoned
upon compliance with reasonable
rules. Ordinarily school authorities
have the right to define the offenses
fr which the punishment is exclusion.
T the school as in the family there
-ists on the part of the students the
'Obligation of obedience to official com-
4iands.
"There is no' question but that the
power of school authorities over pupils
is not confined to school rooms or,
grounds but extends to all acts of
pupils which are detrimental to the
good order and best interest of the
school whether committed in school
hours or while the pupil is on his way
to or from school or after he has re-)
turned home."
MUSICALE WILL PRESENT
-NCERT TUESDAY NIGHT
Matinee Musicale will present as the
first concert of the year for its or-
ganization the Persenger String Quar-

THE MICHIGAN DAILY
RITCHIE WILL SPEAK
IN ORATORICAL SERIES
Prospecti e Presidential Cani date
Will Tak Feb. la, on Subjet
Of Federal Centralization
IS MARYLAND GOVERNOR
Governor Albert E. Ritchie, o
Maryland, will speak in Hill audi-
torium on the Oratorical lecture series
program Feb. 15, it has been an-
nounced by Carl G. Brandt, of the
speech department, who is in charge
of this year's series. This was prev-
iously the only tentative date when
the complete 1927-28 series was an-
nounced, although it was almost cer-
tain at the time that Governor
Ritchie would appear here.
Governor Ritchie, who is rated as
one of the most interesting politcal
figures in America today, and who is
a prospective candidate for the presi-
dency, will take as the subject of his
address here "Centralization of Gov-
ernment." He has ' made a careful
study of the increasing duties of the
Federal Government and their effect
upon state government, one of the
most important political problems of
the day.
The Maryland governor's speeches
on this subject at the recent Gov-
enor's conference in northern Michi-
gan attracted wide attention at that
time.
The next Oratorical number will be
held Nov. 18 when Harry A. Franck, a
graduate of the University of Michi-
gan and recognized as a traveler of
wide experience, will speak on the
topic, "What's Happening in Pales-
tine." Mr. Franck returned in August
from abroad where he made an exten-
sive study of the changing conditions
in Palestine. Much of the material to
be given in his talk here will be in-
cluded in his next story of world
travel soon to be published.
Governor Ritchie's appearance here
will comprise the sixth number on the
1927-28 Oratorical series.
Committee to Choose
Standard Colors o f
Z apes for Graduates
Appointment of a committee from
the University Senate for the consider-
ation of proper colors of capes and
tassels for University graduating
classes was announced yesterday by
Dr. Frank Robbins, assistant to the
President. The committee will set
standard colors before the graduation
exercises next spring.
The last investigation made of this
subject was in 1922, by a similar com-
mittee from.the University Senate, but
since that time three new schools and
colleges, the School of Education, the
School of Education, the School of
Business Adniinistration, and the
School of Forestry and Conservation
have been added to the University,
and oi additional department, the de-
partment of library science.
No provision has thus far been made
for insignia for these new schools and
as a result the present committee will
be called upon to investigate the sub-
ject.
Several inconsistencies have been
pointed out in the University practice
here, Dr. Robbins explained, and these
will. be straightened out before the
next Commencement exercises are
held. The committee appointed will
bring all of the regulations up to
date, according to the general practice
of educational institutions through-
out the country.
Those who will serve on this re-
cently appointed committee are: Dean
George W. Patterson of the Colleges
of Engineering and Architecture, Prof.
C. C. Glover, of the mathematics de-
partment, and Prof. H. P. Thieme of
the Romance languages department.

GOYERNMENT COUNSEL
ENCOUNTER TROUBLE
MANY ESSENTIAL WITNESSES FOR
THE GOVERNMrENT RESIDE
OUTSIDE COUNTRY
WILL REST CASE SOON
Counsel Is Now Undertaking To Proie
That Only Sinclair Is Directly
Implicated
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-- With the
completion of the story of the opera-
tions of the short-lived but celebrated
Continental Trading Company, Ltd..
of Canada, special government oil
counsel will complete early next weel
the presentation of their case to the
jury in the Teapot Dome conspiracy
trial.
While they have produced witnesses
to connect Harry F. Sinclair witn the
operations of that company, they have
expressed scant hope of any direct
evidence tq show that he ever was in
possession of the $230,500 in Liberty
bonds, which the givernment contends
were once held by the Continental
Trading company and subsequently
obtained by M. T. Eberhart, son-in-
law of Albert B. Fall, and used for
his ownbenefit and for that of Fall,
Just as was the case when civil
suit was tried at Cheyenne, Wyoming,
the government is without the testi-
mony of four men they have sought
to elicit information from. Eberhart
refused to answer a question as to
where he got the bonds, standing on
his constitutional right that he did not
have to answer because his evidence
might tend to incriminate him.
H. S. Osler, a Canadjian citizen,
president of the Continental comp-
any, who, the government has testi-
many to show, directed the purchase
of the bonds for the Continental comp-
any, -is unavailable for a subpoena.
The other two men who, the gov-
ernment counsel contends, could tell
about the Continental company in its'
details, are Harry M. Blackmer. for-
mer chairman of the board of the
Midwest Refining company and James
O'Neill, former president of the Prai-
rie Oil and Gas company. They have
been sojourning in Europe since the
early days of the oil investigation.
In the absence of these witnesses,
government counsel are undertaking
to show to the jury that Sinclair wasj

I'S THREE-A C ITCOMEDY
Seats are now being sold at the box
office in Mimes theater for the run
of "Dulcy," which will be presente
for four performances by Comedy
Club beginning Wednesday. "Dulcy"

childish and foolish wife who throws
the fortunes of her youthful husband
into jeopardy on several occasions.
Its theme was derived by the authors
I from the column operated by Franklin1
P. Adams in the New York World,
and is replete with farcial situations.
Settings for the comedy are under
the supervision of Frederickk Reb-
man, as is the whole technical direc-
tion.

First Touchdown Comes After Fumble,

By Herbert E. Vedder
MEMORIAL STADIUM, Champaign,
Oct. 29.-Smart and brilliant football
by one of the greatest teams the
University of Illinois has ever pro-
duced, utterly overcame Michigan's
hard-fighting eleven here this after-
noon for a well earned 14 to 0 tri-
umph. The Wolverines seemed stunn-
ed at the outset by the loss of their
star half back and kicker, Louis
Gilbert, who had been operated on for
an infection of his elbow an hour and
a half before the gamne started. But
in the second half of the game they,
came back to carry the fight to Illi-
nois.
Both of the Illini scores were made
on "breaks" but to Illinois must be
given credit for being smart and
wide awake.

In the closing minutes of the game

Zuppke, the Illini wizard, played his

20 men, and proving beyond all doubt
the strength of the reserve material.

(By Associnted Press)
COLUMBUS, Oct. 29- Ohio State
snatched victory away from Chicago
here today, 13 to 7, on a 50 yard for-
ward pass in the last period, winning
on the type of play with which the
Maroons constantly threatened the
Buckeye goal line.
Mendenhall, Maroon halfback, har-
ried the Buckeye defense with 16
long heaves goalward, one of which
was completed over the goal but was
called back on a technicality. Anoth-
er time in the ,last few seconds of
play, the Chicago passer hurled the
goal line, just missing the receiver's
fingertips for a play which would have
tied the count.
