The auto ban will be lifted from PROBLEMS OF ARE SOLVED Issue to Appear Wednesday; Will Take Up Events Holding Attention of Campus. Although the issue is not special- ized to the extreme, the general theme of the February number of the Gargoyle is the J-Hop and its attndant incidents with references here and there to the examination period. The issue will make its appearance next ,Wednesday on the campus. The cover is especially seasonal and deals with the examination situation which' is augmented in the book by some comments on the marking system, in the lignt of the recent movement to change the system of grades. "Hints for the J-Hop," by Harry Price, '33, will be for the aid of the students who are about to at- tend their first J-Hop and house party. Along the same line, there is an article on "J-Hop Substitutes," intended more for those who don't go to the party and who must find other ways of spending their time on Friday night. Another of the class party fea- tures is the "Bootleggers' Guide," for those whom the Gargoyle sus- pects will be unusually active on the night of Feb. 13. "Further Cures for Athletes' Foot," by Gurney Wil- liams, '31, also pertains to the annual class function.

LAINON ADDRSE AUMNI MEETING Emphasizes Growing Need to Sell the College to Alumni and Undergraduates. The district convention of the' American Alumni council closed with a luncheon at the Union yes- terday noon, at which President Alexander Grant Ruthven was the guest of honor. T. Hawley Tapping presided. J. Fred Lawton, '11, one of Michi- gan's most active alumnus, in a short address stressed the growing need of selling the college to both undergraduates and alumni of the University. "Students of today need a great deal more selling than they used to," he said, "and consequently when considering alumni of more recent years we should realize this and allow more salesmanship in alumni work." Lawton emphasized the point that 20 years ago every student was heart and soul for his college, but that today this feeling and loyalty toward school tradition is lacking and therefore must be aroused by active alumni work. He concluded by saying that bringing the alumni back to football games is a good way to sell them what they should have been sold in school. President Ruthven on behalf of the University, welcomed the vari- ous alumni secretaries attending the meeting and briefly outlined the work that the school is doing in alumni lines. G. Carl Huber, dean of the Graduate school and director of the Michigan Alumni association, described the job of alumni secret- ary as an enviable one in that a person in this position is more intimately connected with all parts of a school than anyone outside of a president. He also labled alum- ni associations as strictly American institutions. The luncheon and the morning meeting which preceded it at Stark- weather hall, Ypsilanti, concluded the program of the convention.

The great international aspect of Michigan's alumni was pointed out by T. Hawley Tapping. "Michigan is of thew orld," he said. "Sons and, daughters of Ann Arbor can be found in the great capitals of the nations and in the stations of far away provinces doing their bits in the world and profiting by the in- spirations which this campus gave them." G. Carl Huber concluded the speaking program with an address pointing to the activities of the alumni in the past years as well as their prososed activities under the ten year program.

Hawley Tapping, editor of the Michigan Alumnus, and Helen M. Gore, chairman of the Alumnae association. "Institutions of higher learning always have had and ever will have unsolved problems in the general field of education," said President Ruthven in his address to the alumni. He went on to say that the University had been going through ap eriod of expansion, and that during this period many problems pertinent to the training of youth had been neglected. Helen M. Gore in her talk pointedj for a record vote and appeared to be in position to get the first test of this kind in the Senate since national prohibition became effec- tive.

Bingham's bill was offered as a substitute for the pending Howell bill established a drastic enforce- ment act for the District of Colum- bia. The Howell bill, under attack from the outset by both drys and wets, opened the flood gates of pro- hibition oratory. It was still pend- ing tonight and offered an opening for much further discussion on pro- hibition. The Bingham beer measure was sidetracked for disposition of an amendment by Senator Blaine, Re- publican, Wisconsin, to strike from the Howell bill provisions allow- ing search and seizure in homes upon evidence that stills are oper- ating in them or that liquor is de- livered to them or removed from them. It was this provision which was condemned by drys as .well as wets. Senator H o w e 11, Republican, Ne- braska, author of the bill, said it was necessary to keep Washing- ton from continuing as "the sanc- tuary of bootleggers." He conceded that Attorney General Mitchell had opposed the provision. i f l i , a i ,!
