Frenchmen Threw Wrench Into Works Of Nazi Machine By Marjorie Ezzelle '" Among the contingent of French cadets stationed here in the Pre Flight School are about twenty who have caused the Nazis much "incon venience" by their acts of sabotage through the underground movement of France. Names and places are necessarily restricted, but a few typical cases may illustrate the dar ing, and heroism displayed by these cadets against Nazi rule. Having been called up twice to work in Germany's slave labor bat talions, Cadet A escaped the first call through use of couinterf eit papers, and the second time, with things hot ter than ever, joined the Maquis. His job was to sabotage the. French rail roads and German , communication lines. , ' , Rail sabotage was accomplished by dynamiting the railroad or by remov ing the rails in turns or on bridges so as to stop traffic completely. Cadet 'A participated in 11 successful ven tures of this nature. The Germans could quickly find where their under ground telephone wires had been cut, and they soon appeared with dogs. The Maquis worked hurriedly; then traveled in Indianfile from the scene, the last man dragging a piece of cod fish behind him to throw off the? scent. Cadet B was announced dead to friends and family in occupied France when he went to the mountains to escape becoming a slave laborer, in Germany. His . training with under ground forces included night hikes in the mountains, drill in field stripping and practice in hand-to-hand street See FRENCHMEN, page 3. Freshmen Meet Tomorrow To Organize Class Council Plans Frosh By-Laws Acting upon the request of the freshmen themselves, Charlie Frank Benbow, president ' of the student body, has called a meeting of all freshmen, both military and civilian, for 8 o'clock tomorrow night in Ger rard Hall. Purpose of the meeting is, upon approval of the freshmen, to organize the freshman class. On the meeting's agenda is the setting up of a class constitution and nomination of class officers. A tenta-: tive constitution will be presented by the Freshman Friendship Council of the YMCA. Feeling that freshmen were poorly orientated and were not taking part in student extra-curricular activities as they should, the .council, a com bination of the former YW and YMCA councils under the leadership of Bill Lloyd and Pat Kelly, started a movement to get the class organ ized. . First move in the drive was the ap pointment of a committee to investi gate the legality of class organiza tion. The report of this committee could be organ- UP Completes Nominee Slate; Ford, Mallard, Hendren, Ward Mead List Of Ballot Choices The report of that the class was ized and that a class constitution should be presented to the Student Legislature in the form of a bill. The executive committee, with the help of the entire council, then drew up a constitution and presented it to the Ways and Means committee of the Legislature. The bill was killed in this Commit tee since it contained a clause pro viding for representation in the Leg islature, a violation of the campus constitution. However, it was ex plained by Libba Wiggins, commit tee chairman, that without this clau.sethe-classu.could berganized without Legislature approval.

German Youth Big Problem, Avers Writer Says Status Quo In Homeland Gone Prefacing his talk on "Postwar Germany" with the remarks that most of us here in the United States have got to quit thinking of the Germany of yesterday being the Germany of today and tomorrow, Martin Hall, German-born and German-educated journalist, said that the youth of Germany probably constituted the greatest social, economic, political, and what is probably the most important of all, the greatest psychological prob lem of the peacemakers. Mr. Hall, who was presented by the Council on Religion in Life Sunday night at eight o'clock in the Graham Memorial main lounge, went on to say: "We have got to stop thinking that the status quo of Germany is still here. It is not. It is gone forever. I do not say this with any particular note of pride in my voice. As a mat ter of fact, many things of the lost status quo which I admired greatly have been lost or destroyed by Hitler or this war." Commenting on conditions which are likely to prevail after the war's end, Mr. Hall said that he believed that a civil war within Germany would in evitably follow the end of the war in Europe.. '.'According, to recent reliable estimates," Mr. Hall said, "there will be some 40,000,000 persons at the end of the war who will be homeless as a result either of being prisoners-of-war or of having been in slave-labor camps." Mr. Hall said that the transporta tion system of Germany has been practically destroyed due to the con stant allied bombings of railroads and oil f actoiaes, consequently no trains or cars will be able to carry these home' less millions to their erstwhile homes, so they "will start walking." "Along the way," he said, "there will be thousands of guns lying idle on the ground and these disappointed mil lions will pick them up and start fight ing with those who they think are less fortunate." He said he was just pointing up the background of his speech to drama tize one of the most important, but at the same time one of the least thought-of and least clearly-mderstood See GERMAN YOUTH, page 3.
