kp Everyone Busy
Annually the University's Summer
Session presents a scene bustling with
quite as much activity as the regular
sessions at Ann Arbor.
Only Varsity athletic events are
missing, and their absence is forgot-
ten in the midst of lectures, plays,
excursions, dances and perhaps even
study.
And for those fortunate enough to
be at one of the many summer camps
-the biology camp at Lake Douglas
in the north, the forestry camp in the
Upper Peninsula, the geography camp
in Kentucky, the surveying camp at
Wyoming, or, this summer, the geog-
raphycamp in Japan-there is adven-
ture that should surpass any offered
here in Ann Arbor.
Almost daily, for the greater part
of ,the Summer Session, there are
University lectures by recognized fac-
ulty authorities on the widest variety
of subjects. Often an opportunity is
offered to hear a visiting professor
speak and the popularity of these, as
well as other lectures, is reflected in
the uniformly large attendance.
Every year there is- a series of ex-
cursions under the direction of a
member of the faculty. These excur-
sions are always climaxed by a trip
to Niagara Falls. Typical of these
excursions are visits to the more in-
teresting ttractions of dynamic De-
troit, an inspections of various
phases of the nearby motor industries.
For years the competent Michigan
Repertory Players have presented one
playleach week - one week it may be
one of Shakespeare's plays, another
a bright comedy of some contempo-
rary dramatist. And almost every
summer there is an operetta given
through the combined efforts of the
Repertory Players and the School of
Music. These productions are always
ones to be anticipated with pleasure,.
and enjoyed to the full upon their
presentation.
Countless other factors - the broad;
intramural facilities for recreation,
The Daily which is delivered to every
student's door, the vast facilities of
the University library - make the
University Summer Session a s hol-
ar's rendezvous that is beyond com-
pare.

SCA, Oldest Carpus Organization
Is Also One Of Most Active Grou ps
The University of Michigan Stu-
dent Christian Association is the old-
est organized student organization on
the campus, having been founded in
1857. More commonly known among
students as the "SCA," the organiza-
tion is in all respects similar to a
combined YMCA and YWCA.
No specific membership is retained
and everybody enrolled in the univer-
sity is included 'in, its membership.
Both men and women serve on the
joint committees and controlling
boards that direct the activities of
the association.
Lane Hall, located on the corner of
Washington and State Streets, is the
central building of the organization.
Housed here are nineteen student
offices, an auditorium, reading rooms,
a co-operative cafeteria, and meeting
rooms. The association activities
serve as a training ground for stu-
dent initiative and leadership. At
present time the program is complete-
ly under the direction of students,
supervised by a faculty Board of
Trustees.
The S.C.A. is one of the most active
organizations on the campus. Some
of the association activities are: The
work of editing, publishing, and dis-
tributing free a 168-page "Hand-
book" to incoming freshmen. It con-
ducts a Freshman Rendezvous camp
for 150 selected freshmen prior to the
opening of Orientation week. All dur-
ing the school year it provides a se-
ries of lectures and forums in Hill
Auditorium and other auditoriums
around campus. During the summer
it operates and.maintains a Fresh-Air
camp .at Patterson Lake to which it
sends underprivileged adolescent boys
free. Camp counsellors are chosen
from the S.C.A. personnel.
Every year it stages an "All-Cam-
pus" entertainment to raise funds for
the camp. During the fall S.C.A. or-
ganizes a special sociological trip to'
the city of Chicago. Under the direc-
tion of S.C.A. officers and Dr. Frank
Beck, formerly of Northwestern Uni-
versity, a three-day tour through the
slums of Chicago is conducted.
In addition to its major projects
the association carries on innumera-
ble other activities, such as publishing
a weekly guild bulletin, conducting
religious surveys, working with for-
eign students, and other varied ac-
tivity.
On Patterson Lake, 25 miles from
Ann Arbor, the S.C.A. owns a large
club-house where they hold retreats
as well as social gatherings, such as
week-end skiing and skating parties.
In brief, all of Lane Hall activities
imply "service"dto students, -whether
it be in the field of religion or recre-
ation.
William Wilsnack, '37, of Mama-
roneck, N.Y., will be the president of
the current year, the vice-president
position being held by Evelyn Maloy,
'36, of Kansas City. The managing-
secretaryship is held by Richard S.
Clark, '37, of Villa Park, Ill.
Ira M. Smith, Registrar of the Uni-
versity, is chairman of the Board of
Trustees, while Russell F. Anderson,
'36, of Ludington, Mich., and Law-
ience E. Quinn, '36, of New York City,
past president and secretary of the
S.C.A., respectively, serve as Senior
advisors to the undergraduate offi-
cers. In addition to the executive
officers a governing cabinet, made up
of 18 men and women, meet weekly
to determine and run association ac-
tivities.
All freshmen, after their second se-
mester, are eligible to participate in
the activities of the S.C.A. They aret
urged to come in and get acquainted
and participate in the freshman pro-
gram.
Although apparently d e s i g n e d
along the structure of the YMCA and
YWCA Lane Hall is opened to all
creeds and church affiliations, no lines
being drawn on any of its work, what-
soever.

Ban To Go Into
EffectSept. 30
Dean Valter B. Rea Tells
Interpretations Made By
University
The University auto ban for the
school year 1935-36 wil become effec-
tive Monday, Sept. 30, according to
a University announcement released
yesterday.
Assistant to the Dean of Students
Walter B. Rea, released the following
interpretation of the auto ban rule
and all entering students are advised
to clip this article for future refer-
ence.
(1) No student in attendance at
the University from and after the
beginning of the first semester of the
University year 1935-1936 shall oper-
ate any motor vehicle. In exceptional
and extraordinary cases at the dis-
cretion of the dean of students this
rule may be relaxed. The automobile
regulation will become effective at 8
a.m. Monday, September 30 and all
regularly enrolled students, other
than thohse indicated in paragraph 7
are requested to avoid any driving or
use of their cars until permits have
bee nobtained at the office of the
dean of students, Room 2, University
Hall.
(2) The automobile regulation gov-
erns the use of a car as well as the
operation 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 pur-
poses, when the car is driven by a
non-student who is not a member of
his immediate family.
(3) A student receiving permission
to use an automobile must adhere
strictly 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 driving, without permission from
this office, or with permit tags unat-
tached, will be considered a violation
of the ruling and will be disciplined
accordingly.
(4) All permits must be renewed
when the 1935 State license plates
are required 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.
All permit tags obtained this fall will
be void as soon as it is unlawful to
drive with 1934 license plates. Hence
after that date, any operation of the
car, while using permit tags bearing
the old license number will constitute
a violation.
(5) Where any appreciable saving
in transportation costs is realized,
students may drive their cars to Ann
Arbor, and place them in dead stor-
age until vacation periods. This pro-
visionwill not be available to students
whose homes are relatively close to
the University, for example, cities
within a 150-mile radius of Ann fAr-
bor.
I
With the opening of classes this!
fall, a new student self-government
body for men, the Men's Student
Council, will automatically go into
operation.
The adoption of the new constitu-
tion by the Senate Committee on
Student Affairs in April culminated
months of preparation, argument,
and discussion.
William R. Dixon, '36, of Midland,
wil be the first president of the new
unit, while John Strayer, '36, of
Buchanan, and John C. McCarthy,
'36, of Chicago, will serve as vice-
president and secretary-treasurer for
the coming year.
Only In Literary College
The Men's Council has "authority
and responsibility in all men's activi-
ties coming within the field of its
recognized jurisdiction, as it now
exists, or as it may hereinafter be
widened by the University," except in
the Law School, Medical School, and
School of Dentistry, which are ex-
pressly excluded by the provisions of
the constitution.
All cases involving discipline of
men students which aredto come be-
fore the University Committee on
Discipline and other disciplinary cas-
es in which the procedure is author-
ized will be referred to the Council's
judiciary committee for investigation
and report. The Council then pre-
pares for the University discipline
committee a recommendation as to
the disciplinary action recommended.
The new constitution provides for
both ex-officio and elective members
with the former comprising 10 of the
1 members. The elective members,
who are chosen by direct vote of the
student body, are apportioned among
the various schools and colleges.
The membership of the Council in
addition to the officers, is as follows:
Wenoel A. Neumann, '36, president
of the Michigan Union, George Wil-
liams, '36, president of the Inter-
fraternity Council, William Wilsnack,
'37, president of the Student Chris-
tian Association, Sanford M. Ladd,
'37, president of Sphinx, Robert J.
Buehler, '37E, president of Triangles,
and Elwood M. Morgan, '36E, form-
er president of Triangles, and the
Nelson R. Droulard, '36E, Richard B,
Pollman, '36A, Roscoe A. Day, Grad.
F&C, Marshall C. Slett, '36M, and
Clarence Markham, '36B.Ad.
Members of the executive commit-
tee, which meets with a committee of
the Michigan League Council in
cases of concern to both men and
women students and acts for the
Council in various other matters, are:
Dixon, Strayer, McCarthy, Droulard,
and Markham.
Dixon, McCarthy, 4ehsenfield,
Neumann, and Kleene constitute the
membership of the judiciary com-
mittee, which has "the power to con-
cuct investigations and make recom-
mendations in cases involving the
discipline of men students."
The Council will hold its first
meeting of the year early in October.
If 'the research now being carried
on by a professor at Johns Hopkins
University (Baltimore, Mr.) is suc-
cessful, automobile radios will no
longer fade out at certain localities.

in existence, was recently honored

Outstanding research work in stel-.
lar spectroscopy and astrophysics is -
being carried on by the University
astronomy department under the di-
rection of Prof. Heber D. Curtis, head
of the department. This work is
facilitated by the large, well-equipped
observatory maintained by the Uni-
versity at Ann Arbor, and also by the
various other units which are located
near Pontiac and in South Africa.
The University observatory, found-
ed in 1852, was originally equipped
with a 1%1/2-inch refractor and a
meridian circle. To this equipment
has been added a 37/2-inch reflector
which is used primarily for spectro-
scopic work.
Two more telescopes are mounted
on the roof of Angell Hall. These are
used for the most part by the under-
graduate classes. The fifth flodr of
this building is occupied by the De-
partment of Astronomy. The spectro-
helioscope is located here, as well as
some of classrooms and laboratories.
Among the other apparatus at the
Observatory are three seismographs,
used for the detection and recording
of earthquakes, a number of measur-.
ing engines, calculating machines,
and other miscellaneous apparatus
for research work.
The Lamont-Hussey Observatory, a
branch of the department, is equipped
with an excellent 27-inch refractor
which is used chiefly for the detection
of double stars in the southern skies.
Another branch of the department
is locted at Lake Angelus, near Pon-
tiac, Mich.
A solar tower is also under process
of construction here, to be used in
the spectroscopicstudy of the sun. It
is planned to take motion pictures of
the sun's spectrum and of solar phe-
nomena. This tower will be the third
