The Sat urday night dance will cost $1 a ticket. Briggs said the tickets will be issued in books of three. If the third ticket is not wanted it will be removed from the book.

Bjoerling, (pronounced Bee-yor'-ling) is the youngest lead in the fa mous opera company still in his twenties. He is a veteran of the opera, however, having made his debut ten years ago in the Royal Opera at Stock holm, -and having sung over fifty different roles in many leading Euro pean opera houses since that time. He was born on February 2, 1911 at Stora Tuna, Dalarna, Sweden, about 200 miles north of Stockholm. "He was eight years old when he first came to America on a concert tour in a Swedish quartet with his father and two brothers. Eighteen years later he returned, trained by the famous baritone and impressario, John For- sell. Arriving here in November, 1937, Heavy Reinforcements Stem Italian Retreat Senate Passes Walter-Logan Bill By United Press - ATHENS A big battle was being fought tonight in the Argyrocastron-Sante-Quaranti sector of southern Al bania where the Italians were fight ing desperately to keep from being pushed back to the coast as heavy reinforcements of crack -Fascist troops were being rushed into the front lines. Well-informed military quarters said that" General Ubaldo Foddu, di rector of the Italian campaign against Greece, appeared to have stemmed the Italian retreat at some points by bringing up heavy reinforcements. It was reported that General Foddu was hurling crack Fascist troops into the front lines following the coast to the Yugoslavian frontier while the Italian battle policy of decimating units for deserting positions appeared to have been halted. The Greeks, however, were said to still be driving into Albania with their many-pronged attack. In an ef fort to check the drive, Italian planes throughout the day roared up and down the 120-mile battle front bomb ing villages and bridges and often bare mountain tops. It was believed that a mighty effort was being made to curtail the Greek advance by cut ting" communications. OHRID, Yugoslavia-Albania Fron tier Albanian rebels tonight were re ported harrassing Italian troops from the rear in the mountain Koritza sec tor as Greek forces pushed forward in a drive toward Elba s an. From the neight of the Albanian mountains it was reported that rebels are sniping Italian soldiers wandering through the snow covered hills.

Peace Policy for Expediency "I have no sympathy, however, with the liberal organizations in this coun try who profess an anti-war position which they assume merely for expedi ency. Under this veil they merely support the present foreign policy of the Soviet Union. "Bather than being determined by a numerical majority, the policy of these organizations is formulated by a minority of zealous individuals who pin their blind faith to the opportu nistic foreign policy of Russia. I rec ognize, of course, that many mem bers of the organizations are sincere in supporting its views, but their in fluence is outweighed by the few given See PACIFIST, page 4 Opera Star, Sing Here V i i Jussi Bjoerling " " he scored sensationally in three nation wide broadcasts and twenty concerts.

A complete program of dances, movies, broadcasts, and concerts has been planned to keep homesickness at a minimum.

All- cott, head of the art department, an nounced yesterday. A gallery talk on surrealism in relation to the exhibit will be given at 5 o'clock by AllcotL Born on a Brazilian coffee planta tion of immigrant Italian parents, "Portinari paints the natives of Brazil with the warmth and color that is only seen by a native," Allcott said. Supporting himself by painting con ventional portraits, so that he may then paint his peasant scenes in his distinctive modern style, Portinari is considered one of the outstanding new painters, and is ranked with Safc'ador Dali and Tanguey. Gallery hours for the show, which will continue through December 20, are 10 until 1 o'clock and 2 until 5 o'clock.

Letter Men Receive New Club Room Carolina Athletic Association Gives Monogram Club 5250 Sid Sadoff, president of the Mono gram club, saw months of endeavor reap its. reward recently when his or ganization was 'presented by the Ath letic association with a new club room in the field house of Fetzer field and with $250 to redecorate it. Sadoff said that definite improve ments have already been suggested and were approved by the members of the club Monday evening, "The first step that will be taken toward .'improvement, Sadoff said last night, "is to supply steam heat to the club-room. Arrangements have been made to tap the supply from Woollen gymnasium. He said that the room is to be painted, leather upholstery installed, and made generally attractive. Pic tures of teams of former years and photos of outstanding players will be framed and hung around the room. The -Monogram club has had quite a time securing permanent quarters this year. The room in Woollen gymnas ium which was formally given over to the club is now used by the Naval unit. The club-room was moved to theAlumni building but that proved unsatisfactory. Sadoff expressed the opinion that the new club-room will suit the mem bers better than any previous place. He said that an important part that the club-room will fill on the campus is that it will be the official meeting place for the University alumni. This will be kept in mind while the club house is being revamped. "A tentative plan to add interest to the club-room, Sadoff said, "is to build a large exhibit case , In it, we will-display all the trophies of the year that the University wins in ath letics. Every year, a new exhibition will begin."

Student Council Reveals 'Sample Cases' To Explain Procedure to Student Body By Phil Carden A student at Carolina decided that showing of sex movies would bring a profit, another failed to keep his check ing account straight, another reported on a book which he had not read, and another drank some old mean liquor whiskey in the infirmary. Each of them has his name in the Student Council's minute books. The names are still safely concealed between the covers of the books, but the rest of the information about the cases becomes public information for the first time today. The council has decided to break its tradition of com plete secrecy and let the campus know that the honor system and the campus code are still enforced. This decision has come as a result of the council's conclusion that the secrecy policy has partially defeated Pepper Will Smal 0 n It foreign Policy 1 X.

If it is postponed too long, they say, the game will be forgotten, and if it is played, too soon, no one will be in condition to play. the purpose of the honor system by creating the impression in students' minds that the council's judicial work is negligible, that only a very few gross violations turn up in the stn dent government sanctum in Graham Memorial. Council Procedure Another purpose of the new policy of revealing "sample cases" from the records is to acquaint the student body with the mechanics of the council's procedure. It wants the campus to know just how the council works to achieve the best interests of the indi viduals who come before it, and of the student body and University at large just how cases originate how evi dence is handled what punishments can be and are meted out. Also the council wants to drive home points about the honor system CPU To Present Florida Senator Monday At 8 Following closely epen Lord Loth ian's statement that Britain expects American financial aid next year, Senator Claude Pepper's address, "America on Foreign Policy," from Memorial hall Monday evening at 8 o'clock is expected to throw some light on the government's reactions to the British Ambassador's declaration. Senator Pepper, Florida" Democrat and ardent New Dealer, together with Senator James F. Byrnes, South Caro lina Democrat, has leen generally re garded as very close to the adminis tration since the election. Some sources believe that Senator Pepper will soon institute proceedings to have the Johnson act repealed. The Johnson bill states that the United States may extend no credit to any belligerent na tion. Bill Joslin, chairman of the Caro lina Political union which is sponsor ing Pepper's speech, wired Pepper yesterday inquiring as to Pepper's re action to the Johnson act as it stands today, but as yet no response has been received from the Senator. Joslin Announces Plans Joslin announced that plans had just about been completed for the Senator's visit. A banquet will be held at 6 o'clock Monday evening in his honor at the Carolina inn. The banquet will be open to the student body and those wishing to attend should communi cate with Bill Joslin or Ike Taylor. Plates will be $1.00 per person.
