15, 1935, THE.MICHIIGAN D'IAILY I Summer Find Campus Active All The Attractions Of A Regular Session, Minus Snow, Await Them Many Go To Camps Lectures, Excursions And ay.s And Study - 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.

Is Annual Host To Freshmen 4 # # 4 # 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.

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.

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 Announcing--- THE SIXTY-FIRST ANNUAL LECTURE COURSE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION EIGH nT BRILLANT PLATFORM 'EVENTS icluding: r r , . k r' i i i Ei { I 1 f ffmore enduring than bronze" FAITH IS AN IDEAL pose * service to quality through the lean years and the fat * * * these are the things that are ,more enduring Ihan bronze."
