Although approximately 35 men have signified their desire to join the club, all such applications have been refused. Men students were to be taken in as soon as the group was organized, according to the original plans, but due to objections from other campus organizations, League officials have refused all applications from men. Union officials object to men eat- ing at the Co-operative Dining Room, according to rumors, but Paul Buck- ley, manager of the Union, said that the matter was entirely up to the Since the deferred tuition notes now held by 547 students cannot be legally due until the termination of the bank holiday all action regard- ing withdrawal of the students has been temporarily forestalled. University authorities revealed yesterday that under the present plan compulsory withdrawal will not be enforced until after two weeks of this semester have passed. This fortnight delay is a result of the us- ual policy of refunding forty per cent of the tuition of a student withdraw- ing before two weeks of the second semester is passed. Eighty-nine studients paid their notes yesterday reducing the number outstanding from last Monday's total of 636. Checks are being received in payment of the notes but receipts are not final until the checks have been cashed. members of the Board of s of the League favor al- en students the privilege of t the Co-operative Dining oviding the Union is in ac- h. the plan, it was learned The Student Committee which has sponsored the eating club favors per- mitting men to join. "We do not want to compete in any way with the Union,",said Sarah Bloom, '34, chairman of the committee, "but if the Union favors our plan, we prob- ably will be able to get permission from the Board of Governors to take them in." The 52 women who have already joined the club made a down deposit of $7, which will cover two weeks' board. The club will continue for one month, but unless additional mem- bers are obtained by that time, it will be discontinued. The original plan called for a membership of 1OQ women before meals could be served, but because of delay in getting or- ganized, the group was granted per- mission to start with fewer members. An active campaign is now under way, and the Student Committee is confident that 100 will be enrolled before the end of the month. Four women students are acting as waitresses, for which they receive their board, and as the enrollment increases, additional waitresses will be hired, Miss Bloom stated. A large number of graduate students are taking advantage of the Co-operative Dining Room, the remainder of the membership being composed of wom- en from League houses.

Sadler Compulsory Insurance Of Vehicles, Massachusetts Plan Discussed Outstanding highway and safety authorities of the state were heard yesterday in the first of the three days of the Michigan Highway Con- ference. With nearly 700 members of the Michigan Traffic and Safety Direc- tors' Association, the Michigan Asso- ciation of Road Commissioners and Engineers, and the Michigan Good Roads Association registered at the Union early yesterday, the confer- ence was officially opened by the ad- dress of welcome by Dean Herbert C. Sadler of the College of Engineering at the opening meeting under the direction of Prof. Roger L. Morrison, of the highway engineering depart- ment. At the morning session yesterday, papers on highway safety, accident investigations, and railroad crossing safety were heard. Advocates Responsibility Plan In concluding his address urging the adoption of compulsory vehicle insurance, Howard D. Brown, attor- hey for the Automobile Club of Mich- igan, investigated and explained the assets and the disadvantages of the present Massachusetts plan of in- surance and the Ontario financial re-a sponsibility plan, with the recom-1 mendation that the group favor such a legislative plan as the "A. A. A. Safety Responsibility Plan," This1 scheme provides that any driver con-.. victed on charges of reckless driving, driving while intoxicated, or other serious offenses shall have his driver's license and registration certificate suspended or revoked until he can furnish proof of financial responsibil- ity by putting up an insurance cer- tificate, bond, or cash. It also pro- vides that in case a judgment is ren- dered against him, he must pay i and furnish proof of financial re- sponsibility before he can again drive his car. "Michigan has not yet acted upon the plan," Mr. Brown stated. "An A. A. A. bill wil be presented to the legislature at the proper time and after study. Our duty in the mattert appears clear. Such a bill should be1 passed in Michigan," he said. Would Remove Ditches Elimination of ditches which fig-{ ured in 46 accidents in Washtenaw county in 1931, and further educa- tion of drivers were seen by Prof. W. Sherman Smith of the civil engi- neering department, University ofs Toledo, as the outstanding needs in accident prevention in Washtenawt County. Basing his address on an ex-1 tended survey of local traffic condi- tions, he said, "Few accidents arel caused by road defects, so preventi-t tive efforts can be more efficiently directed to other causes. The mis- judgment of the driver or his lack of normal courtesy is largely re-{ sponsible for our highway accidents." At the smoker at 7:30 p. in., Prof. John S. Worley, of the transporta-t tion engineering department presid- ed, and Dr. Heber D. Curtis of thet astronomy department. p r e s e n t e d moving pictures and a lecture on the eclipse entitled, "Around the World to Chase a Shadow." Tomorrow's sessions will feature1 speeches on "Unemployment Relief; through Highway Relief," "Motor Vehicle Fees and Taxes in Michigan." A luncheon session for the directors of the Michigan Good Roads Asso- ciation will be held at 12:15 p. m. tomorrow.
