The council, composed of the president, the deans of the va- . rious colleges, the dean of women and the dean of men, is the bo~y charge~ by the Board of Trustees wtth matters pertaining to student welfare. The regulation, as adopted, stat_es that "no unde.r graduate students regt~· tered in the departments of the Umversity of Illinois in Urbana and Champaign is permitted to operate an_Y motor vehicle during the time the umversity is in session (excluding regular vacations) unless he has from ~he council of administration a spectfic permit based ~pon de~onstrated necessity or spectal convemence. A student who lives with his parents or guardian must present from such parents or guardian a written request for a permit. No p.e rmits are grant~d minor students except upon the ~nt.~ ten re(]uest of the parent or guardtan . Five reasons for barring cars are cited in a letter being mailed by the council to the parents and guardians of all students scheduled to re-enter ~ chool next fall, and to those of prosnrctive freshmen who are applying for :tdmission. · The reasons advanced are: Reasons Against Can "1. The scholastic standing maintained by the majority of students 0wning or operating automobiles has hren below the average scholastic · standing- of the university; "2. The owning o f automobiles ha s involverl a con stant and se rious waste of time; "3. There have been numerous ac cidents involving considerable damage and serious hodily injury ; "4. There are con stant violations of local and state laws governing motor traffic, and whotlv unnecessarv and dangerous congestion of traffic in streets adjacent to the campus; 11 5. The use of cars has contributed to moral detinouencies which have resulted in the dismissal from the university of the students concerned." The letter asks the parents to co· operate ,,..·ith the univt>rsity in carrvingout this new regulation, telling them that 11 students in ~eneral have ahso lutelv no need for an a11tomobile during their residence in the universitv." The letter also points out the fact that at the beginning of the school year for ttle past three years a letter to parents and guardians has referr,,rt to the dangers involved in stml,·nt" having- cars,· but that conditions have C'f\tt<:f'rl th~> ro11nril r~"l11rtantlv to ron1c to the hPiid tl·~· it is n,,..essary to pass the reg-t1lation whic-h it has adopted.
