THE MICHIGAN DAILY Student Senate Moves To Aid Local Defense 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.

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."
