Group Passes Resolution
To Take Active Part
In War Organization
Michigan's Student Senate, meet-
ing last night on the eve of the all-
campus election of 12 new senators
from a field of 35, unanimously
adopted a resolution proposed by
Margaret Campbell, '42, to support
and help organize a student defense
committee on this campus.
Included in this committee's funcr-
tions, the resolution read, should be
the encouragement of blood dona-
tions for wounded soldiers and civil-
ians, the sale of defense bonds and
stamps, and the enrollment of stu-
dents in the defense courses of the
University. It continued: encourag-
ing the suggestion to the University
officials of defense courses which
students want, and providing re-
creation to the armed forces.
Roger Kelley; '42, vice-president of
the Senate, who acted as president in
the absence of William Todd, '42,
took immediate action on this pro-
posal by appointing a committee of
three to represent the Senate in the
formation of the new- group. The.
Senate's new committee, headed by
Margaret Campbell as chairman, is
further composed of William Ellman,
'43, and Robert Alpern, '43Bld.
Also included in the resolution were
the proposals that the student's de-
fense committee on campus should
work closely with the faculty defense
committee of the University, and
that the resolution should be read at
the all-campus defense rally on
Dec. 16.
With discussion centered around
defense and the present emergency,
John Zimmerman, '43, Senate Com-
mittee chairman in charge of the
arrangements of a Fort Custer sol-
diers' dance, announced that plans
have been indefinitely suspended. At
a meeting of the commanding offi-
cers of Fort Custer, he jiid, it was
decided that in view of tne present
crisis such activities were beyond the
realm of praticality.

Sale Of Tires
Closed Locally
By All Dealers
Temporary Selling Bani
Voluntarily Accepted
By Town's Outlets
By THEO. O. KING
The sale of tires for automobiles,E
motorcycles and other vehicles went
into a temporary state of suspension
in Ann Arbor and throughout the na-
tion as the government issued a pro-
hibitory statement to this effect yes-
terday.
Although local tire outlets have
not yet official orders to stop sales
from the tire manufacturers or gov-
ernment, most of the dealers have
voluntarily closed their supply to
consumers.
The leading tire dealers have al-
ready turned down customers 'who
have tried to break the deadline
which will be in effect until Decem-
ber 22.
Recapped tires are still available
and will continue to take the place
of new tires until that date when
the government will announce fur-
ther plans. It is expected that tires
for commercial use would be made
available, and one local dealer has
announced that sizes under 700-a
truck tire-would not be available
for some time.
No rush or extraordinary sales
have taken place because of the ban,
according to most local tire shops'
While all dealers are waiting for
official word they have all stated
that they know no more than "they
have read in the papers."
