Kern, '29, former editorial director of The Daily and presi- dent of the Student council, volun- tarily withdrew from the Univer- sity yesterday, following a series of clashes with the authorities. On Jan. 9 the Administrative board placed him on probation for the balance of last semester for vio- lation of the University's automo- bile regulation. This action auto- matically suspended him from par- ticipation in the activities of The Daily, where his reappointment at the conclusion of his probation was vetoed by the Board in Control of 5 rnt Piibli ntin nd JnsPnh A.

Tilley Another political skirmish, cleaved along the Washtenaw- State 'lines established last fall, ended last night in the election of Frederick M. Asbeck, '29, to fill the president's chair left vacant by the resignation of Paul J. Kern, '29, and the election of Richard C. Kurvink, '29, and Durwin D. Algyer, '29, as regular members. The latter two will restore the council to its normal membership of 13, depleted by Kern's withdrawal from the University and Vice- president Robert F. Warren's withdrawal from the council to devote himself to the wrestling team of which he is captain. It was a clearly defined victory for State Street, and marked ,he end of Washtenaw's hegemony in the council. Asbeck, Kurvink, and Algyer were the candidates picked by an informal caucus of the State-Street council-members just before the meeting. State Street now has a theoretical working majority of 10 to 3 in the council. The meeting opened with Secretary Willard E. Lowry, '30, ., .... . Dean 615 (6-26-26) 7M two houses.
