In Student Council;
Investigate Annual
BY MARY JARRELL.
Expected fireworks failed to explode Wednesday when
Student Council met to hear four committees report that
they had taken no action.
The rally committee, headed by Janet Mason, was the
only group which had completed its work and was ready
to give a report. Miss Mason told the council that there
would be girl cheer leaders and that try-outs were held
both Tuesday and Wednesday ev enings. Results appear in
today s Nebraskan.
No Sparks.
The sparks, expected to fly when the committee ap
pointed to investigate primary elections reported not only
did not fly, but did not appear at all when Gene Dixon,
chairman said "We didn t accom
plish a whole lot in our meeting."
He reported that the old Pan
Hellenic plan for primaries had
been reconsidered but was found
to be unconstitutional because the
council consititution states "bal
lots shall list the names of the
several candidates and shall
designate after each candidate's
name the party or faction to
which that candidate belongs."
Dixon, remarked, however, that
the committee "will have some
thing constructive to present" at
the next meeting.
Jean Larsen, who reported as
chairman of the committee to in
vestigate the student health de
partment said that the investiga
tion would be more inclusive than
previously planned and that the

This Week At War
By Albert Reddish
British airborne and land forces
have landed in Greece and, aided
by partisans, have made large
gains, feeling so confident that
they have issued a surrender ul
timatum to the Germans. The
move virtually closes the trap on
the Germans in the Balkans as
announcement of the surrender of
Belgrade to the Russians is ex
pected any moment. In Italy the
Fifth army has battled to within
14 miles of Bologna.
As the Japs threaten Foochow
and take another American 14th
Air Force base, the Chinese
charge the allies with neglect in
supplying Chinese forces with
equipment. One spokesman de
clared the Chinese have not re
ceived enough supplies since Pearl
Harbor to sustain one allied di
vision a week.
Heavy Artillery.
German artillery fire aimed at
the advancing American First
near Aachen is the heaviest yet
faced by the allies. Meanwhile,

German forts at Metz.
After failure of an attempted
Russian crossing of the Vistula,
Polish partisans were forced to
five up Warsaw, losing the under
ground commander. General Bor,
to the Germans. The nazis claim
the long-awaited Russian offen
sive into East Prussia is begin
ning. In Estonia the Reds have
uncovered the slaughter of 2,800
persons by the nazis.
"Highly successful" is the re

U-boats accounted for 11 more.
Announce Casualties.
American casualties thru Sept.
21 on all fronts were 417,085, of
which 351,293 were army and
65,792 were navy, marine and

after defeat of Germany no po

considered, according to Secretary
of War Stimson. Only the Jap
