CAMPUS OPINION
Annonymous communications will be
disregarded. The names of communi-
cants will, however, be regarded as
confidential upon request. Letters pub-
lished should not be construed as ex-
pressing the editorial opinion of The
Daily.
ARE STUDENTS PEOPLE?
To the Editor:
The purpose and excuse for human
life are human happiness; if you will,
the maximum of pleasant sensations
and the minimum of pain, viewed from
a large standpoint of time and society.
They are life. That which diminishes
human happiness as truly takes life
as that which ends our fevered exist-
ence. The justification of education
is that it enhances happiness through
a study of human intellects, institu-
tions, ideals, interests, and make-up.
Literature, art, science, government,
law, and progress exist for happiness.
The Great Teacher called it "Abundant
life," and taught us to find it in shar-
ing our pleasures and possessions.
The auto is the means of such a
sharino of n a- sn rnas r, ad oAsses
can judge better than the Dean of I
Autos, our capacity to drive.
As For Accidents
Physical injuries are an incident to
every form of work, play, and trans-
portation. Students are blinded in
laboratories, and their healths break
down from overstudy. The recent ac-
cident, which the ban failed to pre-
vent, strengthens student conviction
that those who disregard safety, law
and rule will also disregard the auto
ban. Injury to an innocent student
pedestrian, a taxi collision, or a bus
wreck would completely show the
ghastly irony of the little argument.'
Fliver transportation is cheap
transportation, divided among several
purses. The auto ban is an economic
discrimination against those who must
use it, who live in suburban towns,
or would stay outside the Ann Arbor
high. rent zone. One hundred eighty-
five freshmen have found schools
where they could get book-learning,
and still live a normal life. Their
loss is a blow to the prestige of the
University of the Auto Ban. Since
most of them are in Michigan State or

MUSIC'
T'IE OPERA
It almost looked after last night's
rehearsal that "The Same to You"
might be a pretty good all round
show-in fact it might even compare
favorably with the opera of all operas,
"Cotton Stockings." There is a well
regimented set of coryphees, a good !
score, a clever plot that is well gagged
and with sufficient humor of situa-
tion, and a cast that contains two
comedians-the best, in fact, since the
days of Jimmie Dresbach-and three
or four excellent straights.
The only thing that is noticeably
weak is the lack of singing in the
first act, and this is rather sad. What !
is really needed is a brace of singers
who can put the songs further across
the footlights than row A. The second
act is well supplied with a quartet
fiom the Glee Club which will sing
in black face, and Bob Graham as

INTERPRETATION NEEDED
Legislative enactments of formal
resolutions of a similar nature often
require more detailed interpretation
in their application and enforcement.
It is not surprising then that recent{
developments in the local automobile
situation have calied for a statement
of policy on the part of the University
administration in the enforcement of
the Regents' ruling.
In order that they know their rights
and obligations, the students should,
for instance, be informed of the opera-
tion of the auto ban during the Christ-
mas vacation, the period between se-
mesters, and the spring recess with
the spheific times when it may be re-
laxed or applied. There is similar
need for information regarding the
operation of automobiles by students
in home town other than Ann Arbor.
It seems that the Regents' ruling
grants authority to regulate such
operation, though the difficulty in en-
forcement makes that prohibition
rather ineffective. Still, if violations
; are discovered, what policy will the
University pursue?
For the legal benefit of the few
students accuseO: of violating the rule,
it wouldlso seem well that the Uni-
versity offiial explAii the procedure
wlch will y consistently taken
againit offenders.
