University Day
Set ForMay 18
Union Will Conduct Dance
And Tours On Campus
Approximately 150 high school
students from areas surrounding Ann
Arbor will be guests of the Union on
University Day, May 18, Carl, Rohr-
bach, '42, newly appointed member
of junior executive staff, announced
yesterday.
University Day is the traditional
get acquainted opportunity for many
prospective University students who
reside in the state. May 18 will be
the second such event held this se-
mester, the first having been held
on MVarch 30 attended by 150 high
school seniors.
Tours of the campus conducted
by staff members of the Union andI
consultations with the heads of dif-
ferent departments of the Univer-
Sity will feature the morning's ac-
tivity. This will be followed by a
luncheon at the Union.
Tentative plans for the afternoon
program include free games and a
radio dance, Rohrbach said.
University Day, according to Rohr-
bach, is valuable in that it gives pros-
pective students an insight into life
at the University.

Most Crucial Week-End Ruth Chatterton
Of Conflict Is Predicted Will Play Lead

Clavus Of Old Egyptian Tunic
Included In Elsburg Collection

I

By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
(Associated Press staff Writer)
Political developments in Britain
and France, of grim meaning for
Germany, usher in the most crucial
weekend of the eight-month-old Eu-
ropean war.
Challenged by Nazi invasion of
Lhe neutral low countries, Britain
swept Adolf Hitler's arch foe, Win-
ston Churchill, to supreme power as
prime minister of a coalition cab-
inet welded into unity by the crisis.
France matched that with a cabinet
shakeup of similar purport.
Hitler cannot fail to read in the
elevation of Churchill to the key
power post of the Allied war effort
a Franco-British resolution to fight
it out with him to the death.
The last faint hope in Germany
hat an "appeasement" mood in Eng-
land might afford a weak link in
Allied determination to crush Hit-
lerism died with Neville Chamber-
lain's surrender of his seals of of-
fice. There has never been an ap-
peasement thought in the head of
Britain's pudgy but powerful new
war leader as he contemplated Hit-
ler's rise.
In recasting their political ma-
chinery, France and Britain have
given German invaders of the low
countries a sterner answer than the
battle front itself in war-flooded
Holland and Belgium yet yields. At
a stroke, by that invasion, Hitler
accomplished for his foes what eight
months of political bickering in both
countries had failed to achieve-sol-
idarity on the home fronts.

I

The crisis has been met swiftly
by the western Allies by reorganiza-
tions on their slowest-moving and
weakest lines. With the war at their
own gates in full course, Britain and
France have resolved first of all to
submerge political bickering and get
on with the war with single-minded
intentness on victory, whatever the
cost.
It is of small import whether
Chamberlain was driven from office
or stepped out voluntarity. The re-
sult is the same and Britain's own
war helmsman, Churchill, is a life-
long apostle of aggressive and daring
action at the front.
Berlin misjudged the temper ofj
the low countries and their will and
readiness to resist as badly as it
misjudged Britain's reaction when
Poland felt the first crushing weight
of the Nazi war machine. That could
be a fatal error.
It seems certain that even before
the battle lines can stabilize on the
new front, the low countries must
be the unwilling victims of a raging
war of the air over their territory.
Germany must achieve air mastery
quickly to balk Allied help in force
that might leave her again stale-
mated on a water-guarded low coun-
try front.
Students will find copies of all
state absentee-voting laws on a re-
served shelf of the Bureau of Gov-
ernment Library, placed there by the
local chapter of the College Repub-
licans of America.
