STUDENTS STORM DORMITORY: University men students, apparently impelled by the promise of spring, made the rounds of women's dormitories during a noisy seven-hour demonstration last night. At some dormitories they forced their way inside and into the rooms of the occupants. At Martha Cook residence, where these pictures were taken, they failed to make much headway, as girls on the upper floors showered buckets of water on the would-be invaders crowded around the front entrance. A group of city policemen finally intervened when panes of glass in the doors were broken, and the crowd moved on to hunt another "target." (Story on page 13.)

Construction of M-14 Expressway, referred as the North Belt, connecting I-94 with US-23

In mid-1956 after the Detroit Industrial Expressway was extended to west of Ann Arbor, the US-12 designation was shifted to that road and the old US-12 route, the Plymouth and Ann Arbor roads, became M-14 from Detroit to Ann Arbor. In 1964 a two mile stretch of freeway was built from US-23 east of Ann Arbor to Ann Arbor Road and connected with Ford Road, M-153. This new stretch of freeway was then designated as M-14 and bypassed Dixboro.

In 1965 the Ann Arbor north belt freeway opened connecting I-94 with U.S. 23 over which the M-14 route was directed, it no longer having to go through a western portion of the City of Ann Arbor.
In 1979 the final leg of the new freeway was completed connecting the existing western section with I-275 and the entire route designated M-14, the termini being where it intersected the I-275 free on the east, and where it connected to the I-94 freeway west of Ann Arbor. When the freeway north of Plymouth-Ann Arbor road was completed and designated as M-14, Plymouth-Ann Arbor road for the first time in 53 years was no longer a numbered highway. Shortly thereafter it was turned over to the County of Washtenaw. (The History of the Numbered Routes That Pass or Have Passed Through Superior Township.)
