THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM There has long been a need for a satisfactory traffic system throughout the United States. It has been a great problem for both pedestrians and mo- torists, traveling from one town to another, to obey the local ordinances of the city or town in which they happened to be, and as a result there are many who have suffered the con- sequences of breaking laws even though their intentions were only the best. Acts regulating the right-of- way of both pedestrians and automo- biles differ widely from place to place, as to laws regarding turns and stop signals. One law only seems to be the sub- ject of enough thought on the part of municipal administrations to in- sure its being made known; that is the speed limit. Signs informing the 1 driver of the local speed limit are prominent in nearly every town in the country, but the laws which reg- ulate traffic in other respects, the breaking of which cause infinitely more accidents than the breaking of the speed limits, are seldom made known to any save those who reside in the cities or towns in question. Even then the effort to inform the mot-ring citizens of the regulation' seems to be confined to the justice courts where those unfortunates who have unintentionally broken a law are taken to "tell it to the judge." The general opinion of the pedes- trian is that he has as much right t.o any part of the road as the driver has, and as a result he is often guilty of "jay-walking" which in its turn is responsible for many serious acci- dents and unlimited confusion. The laws pertaining to pedestrians differ as widely as those regulating the driv- ing of automobiles. A great step toward the solving of the problem has been taken by the Committee on Municipal Traffic Or- dinances and Regulation of the Na- tional Conference on Street and High- T 1/ ASTED 'ROLLS ROILS WLL mm THE CAMIIPUS Deploring the decrease in en- rollment at the ITniiversity and despairing the fact that what en- roliment there is at this grand in- stitution i snot of the calibre that should be manifest on the Campus, we have authorized the Rolls So- cial Welfare Bureamu, under the direction of its chief executive and research leader, Asa Bunghole, to direct a thorough and searching investigationI Into the cluracter of the personnel that infests the campus at present. We are proud to state that our representative in this vast and extensive clean-up campaign has reported success.

A. BOCHNOWSKI THE FRESH AIR CAP Several large trucks carrying a te tal of a hundred boys from Detroit and nearby cities passed through Ann Arbor yesterday on their way to Pat- terson lake, the site of the Univer- sity Fresh A' Camp. These boys will stay at the camp two weeks and then will return to their homes to make way for another contingent of a hundred boys. In this manner throughout the summer four hundred under. privileged boys are afforded two weeks of wholesome and healthful recreation. No doubt there is no more worthy project sponsored by any student or- ganization on the campus than that undertaken by the Student. Christian association in conducting this camp for needy boys. It is further en- couraging to know that the asocia- tion has received such generous sup- port from the students, alumni, fac- ulty and friends of the University in the annual campaigns for finances to carry on this beneficial social work. Leadership at the camp is furnish- ed by a staff of college men, all of whom, with one exception, are Mich- igan students. Although the salaries of these students are not commensur- ate with the efforts that are expend- ed by them in. carrying out the Camp program each day, their compensation rests largely in the fact that they have made a distinctive contribution to the building of a better boyhood. It is commendable that the captain of the varsity football team, George Rich, should devote a summer as directo of -an institution whose benefits are harbored by such a great army of un- der privileged boys. To one unfamiliar with camp work, it Is difficult to imagine the great bevy of detailed work that must be done in order to make an ideal set-up when the first division .of boys arrives. Ever since the gift of the large camp site on the lake by the two donors, M. A. Ives and H. B. Earhart, there has8 been continued effort expended in the building up of the camp, and this year for the first time a sufficient number of cottages have been built to permit the boys to have ideal sleep- ing quarters. In this direction Homer Grafton, business manager of the camp, has worked untiringly during the past four years in supervising the enlargement of camp equipment and in arranging a camp program that appeals to the boys. The Fresh Air camp is an encourag- ing indication of the type of construc- tive activity that can actually be ac- complishel by a student organization. The fact that such a work will be car- ried on and that students will de- vote their summers to act as counsel- ors to boys whose opportunities andi privileges in life have been greatly hampered is indeed gratifying. To measure precisely th ,benefits that the boys derive from their; stay at the camp is indeed a difficult task. It is known, however, that every boyI gains weight, the health of practical- ly everyone is bettered, the boys gain j a finer concept of honesty in their sports, they are afforded a' oppor- tunity of meeting personally -Univer- sity students who are somewvhat tout--c standing in their college life, throughI their counselors they have come toI know something about life's values 'inf a way -that they never unde ntoodd be- way Safety in its adoption of a "mo- tdel municipal traffic ordinance" de- signed for adoption by cities through- out the country. It provides for uni- form traffic regulations and points out specifically the obligations of dri- vers and pedestrians. Under it there is room f r each city to make what * exceptions may be necessary due to unusual circumstances. Thernunicipalities to which the mo- del is submitted could do nothing bet- - than to ordain it in its entirely. It wouli, in a great measure, solve one of the most far-reaching prob- 'loos with which governmer.ts have ever beet: ctfronted, the automobile traffic problem. The resultant uni- fication would do much to materially 3 decrease the appalling number of ser- :ous automobile accidents. y Campus Opinion T' the iEditor: An examination indicites the extent cf a student's knowledge at a time whori there is no immediate need for that kn owledge. A Atudent who care- fully prepares for an examination and passes it, does so in view o; the fact that it is no indication of his ability, but rather of his store of knowledge at a particular moment. It is not the knowledge of a moment that persists, especially if it is gain- ed in a short time and has received little or no application. Much can be learned in a few weeks; but little will remain, if a single examination at the completion of the course be the sole indication of the student's understand- Knowledge to remain must be ap- plied. Students whose actual ability is to be tested must be subjected to a much more rigorous thing than an examination. That is, they must be al- lowed to apply that which they have learned. This, I believe, is the defense of my university, the Johns Hopkins Medical School, in adopting the German sys- tent of instruction. The student now r'eceives no examinations in that in- stitution until he has studied there two years and has finished all his pre- clinical work. At that time he will have had for two years the prospect before him of entering the third year class and doing actual clinical work -which is a much greater incentive' to learn than is the prospect of an examination in each -course as it it given; and he will have had ample op- portunity to absorb the knowledge which he is about to apply. The time which he would otherwise have spent cramming for his exams will have been used in ways known only to him. Time will tell if they have been pro- fitable. I believe that they have. I f .p. Ann Arbor Towne 10 July, 1928 Lark, Editor-in-chief Rolls, Care of Daily Dear sir: Announce to your public that the trouble has been found. The cause t has been found, and is. ...Auntie Anti- Everything, who, representing the preachers, evangelists, scholarly top- nuts, and all those of higher and nob- ler morals, even university presidents, is trying to keep pure and spotless the souls and actions of the vast army of students who, in the belief of the above-mentioned, should be inhibited and repressed at every move. After all, school marms and school maestros are human. For ten months they labor in small towns, watched by snoopers and gossips, and are reported if they indulge in the most trivial pec- adillo. Their spirits scream for freed- om! The time has come! Rolls 1uust act! The situation at present is deplor- able. Relief must be imminent. Sum- mer school is a haven of recluse for the harassed school teacher. Where they can escape their slavery. Summer school becomes a glorious vacation- a bacchanalia of eight weeks, during which the school marms and maestros find romance and adventure. What has Michigan to offer? Ath- letics for all? Bah! Hand ball and horse shoe tournaments. Tennis courts at a dollar and a half a crack. Dull t social affairs. Roquefort Players! Cupid froze to death long ago. There isn't even the slightest resemblance of a spirit of comraderie on the camp- us. . Rolls must save the day for the school marm. Respectfully submitted, Asa Bungole, chairman of Rolls Social Service Bureau. Such is the state of the camp- us. But do not despair. Rolls will print from time to time its own program of amusement. We will rescue the tired school teacher from the depths of boredom. We will be the salvation of the camp- us. We will for posterity rank with (G. D. Eaton, Bennie Oosterbaan, Sand Bobbie Henderson as Michi- gan's greatest alumnli. As a preliminary entertainment to amuse our public before our feature program is -prepared, we have mailed three thousand invita- tions to a big pep meeting to be held tonight at the University fire house. Pint flasks of Bacardi rum have been sent with the inilta- tions as favors. You owe it to1 - Michigan to be there. We owe it to some one else for the favors. * * * Never Mind; You Be At The Pep Meeting Tonight For Sure The Daily has it that Elsie Trow- bridge of the Roquefort Players is an "accomplished actress." That means an ascociate in guilt, doesn't it? But we never thought Bobby Henderson would admit it. Sue Burb HELP. CLEAN UP THE CAMPUS BY SUPPORTING OUR PROGRAMS! Certain vacationists have found thatI fish take vacations just the same as they do. * * * According to the American Motor- ists' Association, the average upkeep of an auto is $1 a day. Perhaps they forgot to figure on oil and gas. * * * If Florida ever goes on the rocks again some of the buildings down there would make first class gas stations. It is hard t'o imagine much pleasure in going over Niagara Falls in a bar- rel. Perhaps the thrill compensates for the lack of scenery. /'J. rrr, r C' tll fit' tl _, BOOKS! BOOKS!
