Ironical Germany talks of peace; prepares for big push By Woerner and Steele. Peace is still being talked about tonight in Berlin, but in Taris, in London, in Halifax, there is only a feeling of grim determination to fight the war till Hitler is gone, or till security is provided. And on the German west wall, preparations are being rushed for a major German offensive, which is scheduled to get under way on the 15th. Foreign intelligence de partments claim that the Germans are planning to go thru Switzer land on the south, and Holland on the north, thus entrapping the Maginot line, and starving out its defenders.

The judiciary committee, thru its chairman, Merrill Englund, presented an unfavorable report on the Sigma Delta Tau petition. The committee rejected the re quest because it did not want to set a precedent which might be undesirable, because it doubted the method of raising money by sub scription, because it would be un desirable for the council to ap prove a questionable measure which would last beyond the pres ent council's term of office, and because students were formerly constantly harassed by contribu tions to other "worthy" causes. The report further provided that if Sigma Delta Tau decides to go ahead with the project, it must be considered as a private undertak ing, students must not be appealed to as such, and university grounds and facilities are not to be used.
