The Daily believes now, as it,
has continuously. since the auto
ban was proposed last spring, that
a complete prohibition of student

is reactionary and narrow, especial-
ly when there are other means of con-
trolling the morals of the student
body.
It is to be hoped that the complete
prohibition of automobiles at the Uni-
versity then will be as short-lived as
possible; and that some rational basis
of regulation will be instituted as a
subtitute. If the prohibition is meant
as merely a stringent regulation, with
broad interpretations for the students
who properly use their motor cars,
then it is perhaps excusable; other-
wise the additional cost of enforcing
the prohibition could better be spent
in regulation.
One final error the rulings make,
also which should not be overlooked.
The establishment of a student com-
mittee to aid in the enforcement of
the regulations is unwise. Students'
have better things to do wih their
time than spending long hours in the
office of the dean of students partici-
pating in a routine administrative
work that is as much a part of the
responsibility of the authorities of the
University as the enforcement of at-
tendance at classes. If he Univer-
sity is in earnest about letting the
students participate In disciplinary
measures it could easily show it by
granting the Student Council some
measure of authority that does not
have the ever present item "subject
to the approval of the Senate Commit-
te on Student Affairs."
With this, then, The Daily rests its
case against the abolition of student
automobiles until next fall. Its poli-
cy will be, as it has been, one of un-
compromising antipathy to a ruling
which it believes to be unwise and
unfair. To summarize; it feels that,
first, a large percentage of the student
cars are used legitimately; second,
that there are better means of combat-
ing the problem of student morality
than this, principally by some small

BULLETIN: At a late hour yes-
terday is was rumored that suminer
school had opened in several places
on the campus. The Regents have
not yet abolished classes.

trophe Robert Henderson and his gang
of Roquefort players presented the

the Women's League, of course, which

REGENTS WILL BAN GALOSHES
Due to the increasing number of
fatalities from the wearing of over-
shoes, the Board of Regents, at its
latest meeting, issued a regulation
prohibiting the ' wearing of rubber
soled shoes or overshoes by students
next year. The exact wording of the
regulation follows:
"No student in attendance at the
University from and after the first of
the semester this coming fall shall
operate any galoshes or rubber soled
shoes or other dangerous vehicles,
except in exceptional and extraordi-
nary cases, when, at the discretion of
the Dean of Students this rule maiy
be relaxed (for the benefit of those
suffering' from asthma and pneunmo-
nia.)
The ruling became necessary be-
cause of the fact that only three years
ago a student at Barry County Nor-
mal was killed when his unbuckled
galoshe caught and tripped him.
"Such accidents must be avoided
here," the Regents' spokesman de-
clared.

FIRE COMMISSON WILL
ABOLISH FACTORIES
Factories in the state of Michigan
will be abolished, because they con-
stitute a fire hazard, it was declared
last night by the State fire commis-
sion. Only three months ago nearly
twenty lives were lost when a De-
troit factory burned, and the commis-
sion seeks to avoid such catastrophes
in the future. The exact wording of
the ruling does not follow.
Besides this the factories constitute
a serious moral problem, the state
commission believes, since many girls
are forced to travel to and from work
unchaperoned. The ban will be re-
laxd in exceptional and extraordi-
nary cases.
Several Regents of the University
of Michigan who own factories ob-
jected to the ruling, but the State
Fire commission pointed to their own
action abolishing student automobiles
as to precedent.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION PLANS
TO GIVE STUDENTS SEATS
A revulsion in the policy of the-
Athletic Association was accomplish-
ed at their last meeting, when it was
decided to place students, citizens,
and alumni on an equal footing as
regards ticket distribution. It was
observed in many quarters that this
will give the students an even chance
to obtain seats for football games
next fall, something which they have
never enjoyed before.
* * *
An announcement from the office of
he Athletic Association said in part I
that "This step is taken in spite of
he fact thtt the students have not-
ing to do with intercollegiate sports,
and have no right to see the team in
action. The only possible connection
etween the student body and the team
s the fact that the team comes from
hte student body, and it is purely
Front unselfish motices that we will
ive the students an even chance to
et tickets for the games next fall."
* * *
The Student Council promptly ad-
pted a resolution commending the
ction of the Athletic Association and
ppointing a committee to investigtte.

At a late hour last night it was re-
orted that several \copies of The
ummer Michigan Daily remained un-
ubscribed. Those having $1.50 in
