A New Type
Of Auto Ban. ..
W HEN the automobile regulation was
enacted five years ago it was said
that in time, perhaps, the stringency of the ruling
might be relaxed. Since that time the whole stu-
dent population of the campus has c h a n g e d.
There are only a few graduate and professional
students here now who were freshmen the year
before the ban was applied.
A FAVORITE speech of student radi-
cals includes an attack against the
average undergraduate for his apparent lack of
interest in national politics.
While in the past, perhaps, this charge has been
well founded, it most certainly is not correct this
year.tThe encouraging number of students who
are taking part in the Daily-Union presidential
poll, which was held on the campus yesterday, and
will be continued today, bears out this assertion.
We wish to commend the student body and the
faculty for their serious interest in the all-campus
straw vote. Evidently they realize that a poll of
this nature is valuable, when conducted in an
honest manner, in forecasting the general politi-
cal trend of the section.
We urge all who have not already voted to go
to the polls today and help make the returns
truly representative.

LAWRENCE TIBBETT'S PROGRAM
Lawr'ence Tibbett, in the second of the Choral
Union concerts, will present the following program
at Hill Auditorium Wednesday night. It is rather
unusual that such a "popular" artist, in every
sense of the word, should be willing to forego
the customary hackneyed and time worn arias in
favor of numbers equally delightful but less well
known to the general public, and yet, one could
hardly expect the creator of the title roles of
"Peter Ibbetson," "Simon Boccanegra," and the
"Emperor Jones" to be hampered with trite con-
ventionalities.

HENRY FORD AND
RAILR~OAD JACK
To The Editor:
And to make it all the more interesting the
University permitted Railroad Jack to operate day
after day from his red monstrosity at the center of
campus. Now Railroad Jack is associated with
Henry Ford, a citizen of the state and an alumnus
of the University. Associated not only in believing
in more efficient modes of transportation but also
in believing that history is the bunk. Mr. Ford
said it on a memorable occasion *see files of the
Chicago Tribune) and Jack has proved it to the
satisfaction of countless throngs of students.

A PEP MEETING
THAT WAS A FARCE
to The Editor:
May I have the opportunity of openly expres-
sing my opinion of the fine way in which Mich-
igan's traditions are being upheld?
it
Tonight there was a pep meeting-a meeting
of the student body which was supposed to stir up
enthusiasm for the Princeton game turned out to
be a great farce. Hill Auditorium which is not
large enough to hold the crowd that should at-
tend such a meeting was scarcely more than half
full. And at that most of the people were towns-
people and faculty. Where was Michigan's tra-
dition honoring student body? Besides the band,
which is one of the finest college bands to be
found anywhere, there was the added attrac-
tion of having the coachingg staff. But who
turned out to enjoy this treat? Only a few stu-
dents, many townspeople, and about 10% of the
freshman class. Is that backing a team which is
headed for a Conference championship? If Mich-
igan teams had to rely on the spirit of the student
body to win games, they would never come thru.
However, our coaches are good enough to produce
a winner without the support of the students.
And the freshmen and sophomores were sup-
posed to clash to-night. But how did they do it?
About a hundred frosh turned out while the sopho-
mores failed to make their appearance at all.

Between John Bull, a famous virtuoso on the
organ during the latter part of Queers Elizabeth's
reign, and Karg-Elert, who is one of the most in-
teresting of contenporary European composers for
this instrument, lies not only a matter of some
three hundred years and more in time, but a,
whole world of harmonic and rhythmic innova-
tions. The manuscript of the Bull Chorale was
probably the first exafnple in English music of
that period to be provided with indications for
registration, and yet, in contrast to the modern
Symphonic Chorale, this so considered revolution-
ary composition appears to be the height of a
naively sincere simplicity.
If Michigan's traditions can't be upheld why not
do away with them? If some higher power can't
put the freshmen in their place and encourage
the continuance of Michigan's traditions, why
don't we openly acknowledge the passing of them?
Why must this farce continue? Let us either en-
force or repeal.
May I suggest that the Student Council devise
some manner of preserving the freshman, sopho-
more rivalry, and at the next "pep" meeting they
might borrow some "stiffs" from the Medical
School to show some good old Michigan Spirit,
Surely they could do better than the "enthusiastic"
crowds at the Princeton rally.
Here's hoping the University of Michigan again
develops some "spirit" which does come out of a
bottle.

All students of full junior and senior standing,
and all students in the Graduate school and the
professional schools of the University may have
unrestricted use of automobiles provided that
they have maintained an honor point average of
at least two for their college course as a whole
and for the immediately preceding semester.
All students granted such unrestricted use of
automobiles shall be issued special driving permits
bearing a copy of the identification card photo-
graph and a description of the licensee.
All students granted this privilege shall be is-
sued special permit tags indicating the nature of
the permit.
Administration expenses of this ruling shall be.
defrayed by a charge on all applicants, for the
driving privilege, of five dollars.
The advantages of such a plan as this to re-
place the present one are many.
First, this plan makes the privilege of using
automnobiles a reward for scholastic attainment.
The Daily in formulating this plan inquired of the
upperclassmen whose marks did not reach a "B"
average and of freshmen, whether such an in-
centive would encourage them to harder study.
The answer invariably was a very positive af-
firmative.
Second, if any student who had been granted
this privilege should fall below a point average of
two, his perni t would be taken away until he re-
gained his s anding, thus preventing a dropping
of standards as soon as an automobile was per-
mitted.
Thirdly, the enforcement of such a restric-
tion would present several problems which would
be adequately met by the provisions for special
driving licenses and tags. With these precautions
any time that an enforcement officer saw a car
with these unrestricted tags he could stop the car
and demand to see the special permit of the driver.
If the wrong person were driving the car he could
be punished at the discetion of the authorities and.
the car driving privilege taken away from the
In your issue of Sunday you report Mr. Lowell
Thomas as declaring that "India would lapse into
chaos if 'Britain should leave." I want to say that
this is denied by the leaders of all parties in
India. Four years ago all parties in British India
united in framing a constitution patterned to a
considerable degree after that of this country,
but with changes to adapt it to India's particular
needs.
If Britain had set up an Indian Government
based on their constitfition, or had permitted the
Indian people to do so, India claims that the
British might have withdrawn-with perfect safety.
India was not in chaos before the British came.

THERE were no classes one morning last week at
the"University of Colorado. A group of stu-I
dents vho evidently didn't care to go to classes
the next day filled all the keyholes on the campus
with plaster of paris. Janitors and custodians were
kept busy for several hours picking out the plaster
and opening the doors.

000 of the inhabitants. The truth is, history re-
cords no famines in India as great as those since
the British occupation. According to British testi-
mony, there were, during the third quarter of the
last century, six famines, with a recorded loss of
life of 5,000,000 and during the fourth quarter,
eighteen famines, with a total mortality of from
15,000,000 to 26,000,000. Mr. Thomas should read
Indian history before giving his next lecture.
