Recognizing these facts, we wish to pledge our selves, if elected, to the following principles and platform: FIVE POINTS "1. First, dissolution of party ties. "We sincerely feel that this is a viul and determining factor for a successful Legislature. To represent the Student Body, and act for its best interests should be the central aim of all members of the Legislature, and to do this, it is an absolute requisite that party ties be forgotten. "2. Second, cooperation with Coun cil -There' are, and should be, two dis tinct categories of duties and func tions for the Legislature and Student Council, but we deeply sense the neces sity cf these two elements of our stu dent Government cooperating witn one another. Their functions are dif ferent, but their aims coincide. "3. Thirdly, investigation of - student fees.

C. Har ney of the General Electric company. Lighting on the first floor, it was reported, is slightly below standard, but it can be remedied by the in stallation of slightly higher powered bulbs. NEW LAMPS REQUIRED The tables in the second floor main reading room are so inadequately lighted that only the addition of an other fixture to each table will cor rect the situation. New lamps will also be required for the curved tables in the rotunda. Another estimate on the amount required to equip all these fixtures with new fluorescent bulbs is being prepared by Harney. The necessary $3500 is not avail able at present, but as soon as funds are secured they will be used to se cure better lighting. RICHTER IN CHARGE The movement for better lighting in the library was instigated by Hor ace Richter, senior from Mount Gi lead. Several campus organizations, notably, the Order of the Grail, the University club and the student ad visory committee, took up the move ment and put their support behind it. As a result of the drive, the con troller's office called in the GE light ing expert to make an estimate on the cost of correcting the .situation. -; Announcement of the estimate was made by George Riddle, chair man of the student advisory commit- and . assistant in the controller's office.

DAY AMSTERDAM, April 13 (Saturday) British aerial and naval might was hurled against a twelve hundred mUe line of German communications from the Baltic to the Arctic circle in an Allied attempt to shatter Germany's communications with Norway. Germany met the onslaught with a scarcely-veiled threat to launch a blitzkrieg air attack against the communications center of the British Isles in retaliation for the alleged bombings of a German railroad station near the Danish border. Britain came close to declaring war on little Denmark, now held in the "protective custody" of the German army, because the Danes chose to let the Germans come in without fighting. From now on, it was stated in London, Danish ships are tech nical enemies" unless they chose to sail under an Allied flag. Developments included: . . , 1. British warships mined the Southern Norwegian and Danish wast in the Skagerrak and into the Kattegat me m y German wnrtliin and transDorts traverse to Norway. 2. British bombers hurled high explosive bombs into German air and naval bases on the Baltic and blasted at shipping m tne uann waters leading to the Kattegat. An 8,000-ton munition supply nip was reported blown up. . 3. From the Norwegian army headquarters on the Nordic :Arzik front came word that the British had sunk every ship m the Nordic "arbor and that British land and sea forces and Norwegian soldiers nad cut off the German garrison. 4- Stockholm reported a naval battle appeared to be in progress ,n Oslo fjord where British warships were said to be trying to blast their way through to Oslo. . .. , 5- The Swedish premier warned that anyone-interf erring with edish neutrality will have to answer to that nation's armed forces. .
