Inspection of student cars, as a check upon their mechanical condition, by the Illinois State Highway Police. This inspection will be made without cost to the University. Students whose cars are not considered in good mechanical condition will not be permitted to operate them. 2. Physical examinations of applicants for motor vehicle permits by the Health Service Station to determine their physical fitness to operate cars. I request that the authorization of this program be confirmed. O n motion of M r . Barr, the action of the President of the University in authorizing these regulations was confirmed.
