Says Sovereignity
Must Give Way
To Cooperation
An international peace program,
-or consideration in case the Allies
irin the war, was advanced last night
by Herbert Agar, of the Louisville
Courier Journal, delivering the third
of the annual series of Weil lectures
and concluding the biennial Institute
of Human Relations.
Urging America's immediate entry
into the war Thursday night, Agar
iolloed through with a four-point
-clan governing international rela-
tions. calling for a dimunition of na
xiona! sovereignty,, ah increase in the
ireedom of exchange of goods and
services, a bill of rights for the peo
ples of all nations, and the mainten
ance of the oceans of the world under
the control of free peoples.
Pacifists Not Peaceful
"Peace is not the absence .of war,"
Jje declared. "Peace is the presence of
justice. That is one reason why paci
ists tend to be the worst enemies of
jeace. By disarming men of good
Trill, they leave the field free. for in
justice. - ' ... ' .
"The, great states .cannot be al
Jowed to make decisions" irrespective
.of whether these" decisions wreak
rave injury on their neighbors," he
continued. "One great power's tariff
policy, for example, can drive a world
ro war. Such irresponsible sovereignty
jmust gjve way to a form of coopera
tion. The alternative is repeated war,
which our world cannot survive, for
-ae have learned too well how to kill
our neighbors rapidly."
Lively Debate
Lively debate featured the daytime
.sessions of the HRI yesterday with
Clarence Streit, author of "Union
Now and Hayne Davis, internation
alist and protagonist of "law. for war
movements," .disagreeing on proce
dure in forming an; international
union.
Streit set Jorth his plan of a world
'jnion of English speaking democra

Honor Council
Declares WA
Valid
Voting
YWCA Election
To Be Repeated
Next Tuesday
YW, YMCA Give
Sunrise Service
The YW and YMCA join tomorrow
morning 'in sponsoring an Easter sun
rise service in the Arboretum at 6:30.
In case of rain the service will be held
in the Episcopal church. '
Solos by Genie Loaring-Clark,
jroup songs and responsive readings
nave been arranged. Dr. G. P. Al
baugh will deliver the invocation and
Douglas Watson will read "The Gar
ien of the Sep'ulcher" by Edwin Mark
ham. Julia McConnell, YW president,
"ill read portions from Phillips
3rook3 "Easter Sermons."
The student body, after a week of
preliminary training for getting up
at dawn, is invited to attend.
After a ''thorough investigation'
of the mix-up in Tuesday's coed elec
tions, the Women's Honor council yes
erday declared the results valid for
all offices except the YWCA presi
dency and issued an apology for its
"inefficiency in conducting the elec
tions." "
"The investigation made by the
honor council showed that at least 25
coeds who were not members of the
YWCA cast ballots for the presidency
of that organization," WA president
Jane McMaster said, "and a new elec
tin will be held for that office."
A meeting of the Woman's associa
tion was called Thursday after the
discovery that although only 254
names were crossed off in tne stu
dent directory used to check those who
voted, there were 274 ballots cast for
the Women's association president and
May Queen.
The association voted to accept the
council's decision on condition that a
more thorough investigation be made
of the mix-up. A dormitory check
up made yesterday uncovered the rest
of the missing voters, thus account
ing for the total number of ballots
cast, Miss McMaster stated. .
"There . was nothing illegal about
the election. The mix-up was entirely
due to inefficiency in conducting the
election," Miss McMaster said. "The
honor council wishes to apologize to
the candidates involved and to the
coeds and to promise. that nothing of
this sort will happen again."
In the elections Tuesday, Hortense
Kelly" and .Katherine Goold tied for
the presidency of the Woman's ath
letic association, and a run-off elec
tion will be held Tuesday from 10 to
4 in Gerrard hall.
At the same time, a new election for
the presidency of the YWCA will be
held. Cornelia Clark and Muriel Mal
lison are the rival candidates. Only
"Y" members are qualified, to vote in
this election.
Committee
Drafts New
Fees Bill
Proposal Would
Combine All '.
Student Fees ... :
The plan to reorganize the adminis
tration of all student fees - took on
more definite shape yesterday as the
ways , and means committee ' of the
Student legislature drafted it into, a
constitutional amendment for presen
tation Monday night.
The proposal, announced Thursday
by a special nine-student committee,
would block all student fees into one
lump sum to be allocated by the legis
lature." "': "'T "."
If passed Monday night, the plan
will be added to ' the list f of eight
amendments already approved by the
assembly and awaiting elections day
ratification by the student body.
No Trouble Expected
There, was little, indication yester
day that the new proposal would have
any trouble in passing intact through
Monday night's session. Possible ob
jections, however, may be raised
against the absorption into the gen
eral fund of such large surpluses as
that now carried by, the Publications
Union board.
Informed members of the commit
tee disclosed yesterday that the plan
is almost certain to receive the neces
sary approval of the administration
and the Board of Trustees, which sets
the fees at present.
Details Later
It was also announced last night
that the ways and means committee
had made no attempt to state all pos
sible details of the plan. Necessary
specific provisions will be worked out
by the legislature after the plan has
been approved.
Significant features of the plan,
however, are embodied in -the amend
ment. All students will be charged
their individual class dues plus the
uniform fee of $13.85, which the legis
lature would be empowered to alter.
Only the athletic fee would be exclud
ed from the scope of the plan.

All money would be allocated by the

Princeton Bean, Visiting Here, Debunks
Charge Of Radicalism In U. S. Colleges
Dean, Mrs. Gauss
Spending Vacation
Fundamentally American youth is
i'Jst as sound morally and spiritually
as it was a quarter of a century ago,
ean Christian F. Gauss of Princeton
university, a veteran authority on
end3 in student conduct, said here
yesterday. -
"Of course our habits and customs
iave changed some, and we, have had
adapt ourselves to new ways, but
n their code of right and wrong our
boys and girls continue to stick pretty
:lose to the eternal verities," Dean
rauss said.
The criticism sometimes made that
-Gileses are hotbeds of radicalism is
without justification, the Princeton
'-an said.
"radicalism in our colleges usually,
stems from the publications, mostly
from fellows addicted to exhibition
ism. But there is no cause for alarm."
Dean and Mrs. Gauss are spending
the week in Chapel Hill, using the
Princeton spring holidays for a
brief vacation. ,
He and a number of other Prince
ton officials who are also spending the
week here were entertained at a
luncheon yesterday at the Carolina
Inn by a group of Carolina officials
and faculty members who are alumni
of Princeton.

included George Brakeley, vice-president

Football Maybe
Questioned as to the possibility of
Carolina and Princeton renewing a
football series, Dean Gauss, who i
chairman of the Princeton athletic
council, said he personally would like
to see the series renewed. The Tigers

With Human Relations Institute
program over, classes begin at their
regular 8:30 time this -morning, and
continue in their regular manner.
By Bi lly Webb
After Billy Peete, divisional editor,
announced his withdrawal as a can
didate, 'Charlie Tillett, engraving edi
tor, and John Thorp, editorial editor,
were elected double staff nominees
yesterday by theTackety Yack staff
for the editorship of next year's year
book. Following a precedent set last year,
a motion was passed to announce a
double nomination unless one of the
candidates received a two-thirds ma
jority of the vote.
The purpose of the two-thirds mo
tion is to avoid giving a candidate the
advantage of a staff nomination in case
of a near-tie in voting. Though Tillett
received the majority in the 23-19
vote, a double nomination was an
nounced by the. staff.
Political observers yesterday pre
dicted that Tillett will probably re
ceive the Student party nomination
and that Thorp will run on a Univer
sity party ticket.
Beginning his publications career
as associate editor of the Woodbury.
Forest annual, Charlie Tillett con
tinued yearbook work here and has
become engraving editor of the '41
Yackety Yack.
He i member of junior class
honOi iljtcU, the University club,
the varsity wrestling squad, and is
treasurer of the CPU. His scholastic
average is well within the Phi Beta
Kappa standards, being just short of
95.
A Zeta Psi from Fries, Virginia,
John Thorp became a member of the
Yackety Yack staff as a freshman. His
sophomore year he was promoted to
the editorship of the extra-curricular
section, and this year he was made
editorial editor.
Thorp is vice-president of his fra
ternity, and has recently been appoint
ed junior member of the interfratern-1
ity council. Thorp also has a scholas
tic average of 95.
Worley Abandons
Square Dance
For Waltz Time
Evidently tiring of being the cam
pus square dance sponsor, Fish Wor
ley tonight ventures into a new field
of terpsichore when he stages a waltz
dance in Graham Memorial's main
lounge. Waltz time is three-quarter
and from 9 to 11:30.
And for exhausted souls who've al
ready started burning midnight oil or
who have been attending night lec-'
tures at HRI, Brother Worley will
furnish cards and card tables in the
small lounge.
Worley adds that the opening of
the night club, an added attraction for
students suffering from "spring
fever," would be " postponed due to
"delay in construction." ,

British, Germans Meet
As Decisive Battles Begin
By United Press X
' Two great battles, on which the course of. the war may hinge for months to
come, were, under way yesterday.
In both operations, complementing each other, the Germans, masters of the
offensive, were struggling for control of the central Mediterranean area.
The first and more spectacular of the battles is in northern Greece, where
German mechanized columns, which broke through the Monastir Pass and
elsewhere, were in contact with seasoned British troops plus the main strength
of the Greek, army. ' ' v
Issue in Doubt ,
The second and possibly more important is at Cyrenaica, west of Tobruk,
near the frontiers of Egypt, where German and Italian mechanized columns,
which have been sweeping eastward towards Britain's great naval base at
Alexandria, established . contact with British forces defending the western
approaches to the great Egyptian stronghold.
The issue of both battles, was in doubt, with experts giving the Greeks and
British less than an even chance on the Greek front and an even or. better
than even chance in north Africa.'
Battle of Britain '
Meantime, the battle of Britain and the continuing battle of the Atlantic
raged, on with unimpaired ferocity. German bombing planes gave Bristol
and other shipping and industrial areas another terrific pounding early today
and were answered by the heaviest anti-aircraft barrage yet heard in this
region. - '
