Hitler Boasts
Of Nazi Power
British Sweep
To Mediterranean
By United Press
BERLIN The war will end "in a
reasonably short time" with a great
knockout offensive against Britain,
Germany boasted tonight, after Adolf
Hitler asserted in a ; speech - loaded
with attacks on the United States
that "I can beat any other power in
the world."
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels receiving foreign newspaper
correspondents from Nazi-held Paris
a few hours after Hitler's 90-minute
speech, said a final "great fighting of
fensive against Britain" is imminent
and will surpass with fury any blow
thus far struck.
"The fact is," Goebbels said, "we
already feel that we have won the war
and therefore are concentrating on
the future new order in Europe and
economic and cultural relations with
the rest of the world, especially, with
the Americas."
Hitler, in his speech describing the
war as a world-wide showdown be
tween the Nazi and democratic way
of life, had told 12,000 workers of a big
Berlin arms plant that he is leading
the German people in a death struggle
against the capitalist slavery of the
United States and Great Britain.
LONDON Britain's blitzkrieg of
fensive in western Egypt, aimed at
driving the Italian invaders into the
sea, has swept 75 miles across the
desert "in a single bound" to the
Mediterranean coast, deep behind the
Fascist base of Sidi Barrani, Prime
Minister Churchill said today.

troops tonight were reported evacuat

lem have been examined, . reliable

Chairman
Work on Plans
5 Celebration
Leaders Propose
Change in Emphasis
Preliminary plans for the seventh
annual Student-Faculty day were re
leased yesterday by Syd Alexander,
president of the YMCA, as he announc
ed that Ike Grainger and Sis Clinard
had been appointed co-chairmen in
charge of the day's events.
This year's celebration will be held
on February 5, and the co-chairmen
are already at work organizing their
committees. Declared Alexander, "A
bigger, better and far more extensive
program is being planned this year.
Student-Faculty day was instituted
originally to allow students and faculty
members to become better acquainted
with each other. "It has usually been
nothing more than a, social function,
but this year plans are far more ex
tensive," Alexander said.
A special feature of this year's cele
bration will be a constructive program
exhibiting the work of the University,
or "A Century of Progress." It is ex
pected to allow the University's South
American visitors attending the school
here to observe the University and its
f unctions. -
Alexander explained that although
the emphasis of the day will be chang
ed from social to constructive the aft
ernoon program will continue to be of
a social nature. "Perhaps," he added,
"we can end the day with a gala Student-Faculty
North American dance,
though, of course the plans are still in
the development stage."
The idea of having exhibits as a
feature of the morning program is a
return to the original idea of Student-
Faculty day, that featured the first
of the programs seven years ago.
The day is sponsored by the YM
YWCA but "the success of the day de
pends on complete cooperation and par
ticipation between students and fac
ulty." Alexander remarked that previous

Quarles Replies
To Statements
In DTH Editorial
In replv to a Daily Tar Heel edi
torial of yesterday morning which
stated that the Di senate, along with
several other campus organizations,
was "tottering on weak knees," Perrin
Quarles, retiring president of the
senate, declared in an address last
night that the Di was "fulfilling its
purpose . at the University."
Pointing out that the Di was formed
originally to give students an oppor
tunity to participate in debating and
to learn parliamentary procedure,
Quarles went on to sum up the cir
cumstances that have forced the or
ganization to lose much of the great
campus influence that it once had.
Quarles made these remarks in a
farewell speech before the senate as
he was retiring from the , office of
president to make room for his suc
cessor, William B. Woodson of Salis-

Plan To Be
Given Trial
For One Year
Student Council
To Have Authority
Over All Cases
The goal of complete student gov
ernment was nearer today after yes
terday's meeting of the faculty when
it was announced that a plan placing
the Student council in complete re
sponsibility for all honor code viola
tions will continue on trial for this
year. If the plan works efficiently, it
will probably be permanently adopted,
climaxing years of steady growth in
student government.
During the coming year, the last
outstanding vestige of faculty gov
ernment will be tentatively renounced
by referring primary action in all
honor cases to the Student council.
Heretofore a faculty committee has
initiated hearings on certain types of
cases.
Under the new plan, the faculty
executive committee will serve only in
an advisory capacity and the council
has the privilege of either using or
declining the aid of the faculty. Only
exceptional cases will be referred di
rectly to the faculty committee.
Faculty to Report Violations
Faculty members will report honor
code violators to the assistant Dean
of Students for the remainder of this
year. All evidence will then be turned
over to the Student council for trial.
If the council finds that it needs the
assistance of the faculty executive
committee, it may ask for it with the
request that, after the faculty rules
on the case, it return its verdict to the
council. The council may then either
accept or disregard the decision of the
committee. All sentences, however,
must be passed and recorded by the
Student council.
Before the new plan of action was
announced, faculty members would
report all violations of the honor sys
tem to the faculty executive commit
tee which made the final decision on
whether the student accused was
guilty or not and prescribed the pun
ishment for the violation.
The revolutionary plan will elim
inate the divergencies and overlapping
which have interferred with the work
of the executive committee of the fac
ulty and the Student council in the
past. Some cases have fallen between

Snapshot Contest
Deadline Today
Today is the deadline for all contri
butions to the Yackety Yack snap
shot contest. The $10 prize offered for
the best snapshot has attracted only
nine photographers and Billy Peete,
Yackety Yack divisional editor, is
counting on last minute entries.
"The Yackety Yack staff fears it
will be necessary to move to larger
quarters if this tremendous wave of
nine photographs continue to pour in'
at their office in Graham Memorial,"
Peete said. "We can't understand why
more students aren't taking advantage
of this offer to have their friends and
organizations represented in their
yearbook."
The $10 prize is still being offered, -however,
and if other entries do not
come in, the winner will be selected
from the nine applicants who have sent
in pictures for the contest.
Student Union Gives
Fireside Concert
The weekly fireside concert will be
held tonight at 7:30 in the main lounge
of Graham Memorial.
The program has been selected by
Gene Devant, the newly appointed
chairman of the music programs for
Graham Memorial. Gene is a member
of the junior class, a wrestler, and a
native of Charlotte.
The program will include the "Danse
Macabre," Saint-Saens; "Clouds," De
bussy; "Ride of Walkure," Wagner;
and "Death And Transfiguration,"
Richard Strauss. '
