Lyman Collins, rising senior and

Manfred Rogers, at a meeting of mem

Rogers also announced that the IRC

Looms For First
Time In 3 Years
- By Bucky Harward
Spurting to finish the rest of
its nominations within the next
week, the University party last
night nominated Bill Seeman for
editor of Tar an' Feathers,
named Breezy Breazeale for sec
retary of the senior class, and
endorsed Charlie Nelson for head
cheerleader.
Seeman's decision to run, despite his
narrow defeat for the staff nomina
tion by Jak Armstrong, will mean the
first contested race for the humor
magazine editorship in three years.
Uncontested for WAA
Miss Breazeale today will step un

the Woman's Athletic association be
cause of her recent unanimous nomi
nation by the special nominating com
mittee. Already named last week by the
Student party, Nelson now has a clear
path to his second year as chief
whooper-upper.
Appointed by Bill Stauber, Seeman
was art editor as a sophomore of the
old Buccaneer. When the student leg
islature abolished the Buccaneer, he
served on the committee which drew
up plans for Tar an' Feathers and
worked as managing editor up until
a month ago when he resigned because
of a difference in policy with editor
Gene Witten.
Cartoonist
For the current issue, he drew three
regular cartoons and supplied his
"fioogies" as cartoon fillers. Other of
his drawings include posters for the
Grill, caricatures in the 1940 and 1941

Phi To Discuss
Ship Confiscation
Members of the Phi Assembly will
convene tonight at 7:30 in New East
to consider the currently vital prob
lem of using confiscated Italian, Gerr
man, and Danish ships to further U. S.
aid to Britain.
This new act of our government
coming soon after the passage of the
Lend-Lease Act and at a time when
England is losing much merchant
shipping is of particular interest as
administration leaders are considering
convoying ships in the Atlantic.
The Phi will also discuss the pos
sibilities of having "Hello Week" again
this year. It was started by the Phi
last year to promote campus friend
ships and proved highly successful.
All visitors will be welcome to par
ticipate in tonight's discussion.
Back at Nazi Blitzkreig
day night said Greek troops were
"holding their ground" against the
Germans, but it was admitted that
the Nazis had seized two Greek forts
in the Struma Valley, perhaps with
parachute troops, and had been driven
from a third fort.
The Turkish radio reported that the
Yugoslavs, suddenly striking out in
counter-attack against the Germans
and Italians,v had invaded both Hun
gary and northern Albania.
In the north, the Yugoslavs were
reported driving toward the Hungar
ian town of Szeged, 100 miles above
Belgrade, but this reported lacked
confirmation.
Italy's battered forces in Albania
faced the prospect of being drawn into
an inescapable trap between the Yu
goslavs on the north, the Greeks on
the south, and British submarines,
