Degaulle Heads RPF;
To Lead French In Crisis
■by Jane Morris
All important event has occured in
the history of the French people.
These people, face to face with two
of the worse scourges that can face
the world, Communism and starva
tion, have turned again to the man
who lead their outside resistance
(Free French) during the war. This
man is General Charles DeQaulle who
left politics after the war, when the
French adopted their present con
stitution, which calls for a strong
legisl.itive branch and a weak ex
ecutive, to which he was violently
opposed. But he has eome back and
organized a party called the Rasscm-
blement du peuple franeais. (Re
union of the French People—after
all we all aren’t French majors.)
Last week this party polled more
votes than any other party in muni
cipal elections. One step forward
we’d say! The RPF is avowed anti
communist, pro-marshall plan, and
out to get the constitution changed.
Just how far the RPF will go is
hard to say since it represents only
about 35% of the people, the rest
being largely Communists, and Socia
lists. (The Socialists hold the gover
nmental reins now under Paul Ram-
adier as Premier.)
This DeGaulle guy is a hard man
to figure. Roosevelt didn’t like him,
but then some of us didn’t like Ro
osevelt, and our^ government, at pre
sent, isn’t very sure of his motives.
It’s a sure bet that the majority of
the French people don’t want Com
munism, and they’re beginning to
realize that their Socialist headed
government isn’t doing them any

I. R. S.
The “lady look” is in vogue this
fall
Even in the dining hall.
So, girls, I. R- S. and the deans
have said,
No more kerchiefs that hide your
head.
Pinned-up curls, locks straight and
wet
The love of good grooming should
abate;
But if the temptation’s still too
great-
Think of the knock you’re likely to
get.
