The Automobile Regulation governs. the use of a car as well as the opera- tion of one; consequently, it is not permissible for a student to use his, car. or a family-owned car, for social, personal, or any other purposes, when the car is driven by a non-student who is not a member of his immediate family. A student receiving permission to use an automobile must adhere strict- ly to the terms of his permit. Before any driving is done, student permit tags must be attached to the State license plates in such a manner as to insure easy visibility. Any act of driv- ing without permission from this of- fice, or with permit tags unattached, will be considered a violation of thej Ruling and will be disciplined accord- 1 ingly. All permits must be renewed when the 1939 State license plates are re- quired or as soon as the new tags are purchased. At such time, new sets of permit tags bearing the current license number will be issued at no addition- al cost to the holders. All permit tags obtained this fall will be void as soon as it is unlawful to drive with 1938 license plates. Stenographer Clerk, Salaries $80-100, Oct. 20.. Athletic Inspector, 80c per hour, Oct. 20.

Coming Events Members of the faculty of the University of Michigan who wish to become members of the Michigan Education Association and who have not received enrollment blanks or an- I nouncements through other channels, I may secure the necessary information (Continued on Page 4) Where any appreciable saving in transportation costs is realized, stu- dents may drive their cars to Ann ?arbor and place them in dead storage until vacation periods. This provision will not be available to students whose homes are relatively close to the Uni- versity, for example, cities within a 150-mile radius of Ann Arbor. Such an arrangement when approved will not entitle the owners of the cars to any special consideration with re- spect to temporary or week-end driv- ing privileges. Full information on stored cars, including name and ad- dress of owner and location of storage, must be reported to this office be- fore the beginning of the school year. After that date, cars may not be brought to Ann Arbor, unless the cir- cumstances are first approved by this office. The operation of a car by an out-of- town student, in and about his home, will not be considered a matter of concern to University authorities pro- vided: (a) The car is not driven through or within the immediate vicinity of Ann Arbor. (b) Sdch driv- ing does not involve a violation of any law or traffic ordinance. Students within the following groups may apply'for exemption from the Ruling by calling in person at the Office of the Dean of Students and reporting the make, type and license number of the car. (a) Those who are 26 years of age or older. (b) Those who are receiving credit for not more than six hours of academic work per semester. (c) Those who hold Uni- versity positions which entitle them to the faculty rating of instructor or its equivalent.
