Indians Grunt Approval As College Bans Autos in Town

Dartmouth's wall, the one that keeps Hanoverites in and the rest of the world out, rose a few feet higher this weekend as the student-inspired administration order banning local use of automobiles went into effect. "Separation from the college" is the penalty for violation of the ban or misuse of gasoline coupons, although cars may be allowed in special individual cases.

The ban, which was announced over a week ago, was approved by student groups which ruefully admitted its complete fairness. All cars must be registered and permits obtained from the dean's office, but the wording of the ban apparently leaves long-distance travel untouched. The move is reminiscent of an abortive suggestion by the Harvard Student Council this summer that pleasure driving be curtailed.
