ASU To Hear
Defense Talks
Armistice Day
Witt, Slosson Plan Debate
On Aspects Of Question
For Next Open Meeting
Prof. Preston Slosson of the history
department and Mr. Bert Witt, Na-
tional Executive Secetary of the
American Student Union, will de-.
bate the question, "How Can We Best
Defend America?" at 8 p.m. Monday,
Nov. 11 in the Union Ballroom.
Witt will present his position by
asserting that "The best defense is
peace in building up a democracy at
home." Professor Slosson will advance
defense by aid to the allies."
The debate is to be sponsored by
thel ocal chapter of the ASU and
will be open to the public free.
Last year a similar debate was
presented when Prof Lawrence Preuss
of the political science department,
Prof. Arthur Smithies of the econom-
ics department and Witt discussed
"Can America Stay Out of the War?"
Witt at that time maintained that
American entrance into the war would
be a useless waste of life and natural
resources.

Will Sponsor
French Movie
The inspiration of both Beethoven
and Tolstoy has been incorporated
in "Kreutzer Sonata," the French
Film that opens at 8:30 p.m. tomor-
row at the Lydia Mendelssohn The-
atre for a two-day run.
Sponsored by the Art Cinema
League, the film will be shown to-
morrow and Saturady evenings. All
seats will be reserved, and tickets
may be obtained by calling Albert
Stutz, Grad, manager of the Art
Cinema, at 6300 today, or at the
Mendelssohn box office before the
performances. Admission will be 35c.
"Kreutzer Sonata" originally re-
ferred only to Ludwig Von Beethov-
en's great musical work, and later
to Count Leo Tolstoy's famous novel
based on that work. The picture to
be shown tomorrow is based on both
the masterpices, utilizing the novel's
theme and them music as a back-
ground. English subtitles have been
added to clarify the cinematic ac-
tion.
i The story, a powerful psychologi-
cal drama, centers about the person
of a Russian nobleman who has lived
a life of utter excess. His creditors
finally strip him of wealth, and a
friend invites him to share his modest

'Nature Of Man' Lectures
To Conclude With Talk
By Catholic Professor
Dr. Robert J. Slavin, professor of
philosophy at the Catholic University
of America in Washington, D. C., will
conclude this year's lecture series on
"The Nature of Man" at 8 p.m. to-
morrow in the Rackham Lecture
Hall.
Going abroad last year, Dr. Slavin
studied the various educational sys-
tems throughout Europe and their
comparison to those in the United
States. As one of the neo-Thomists,
he has caused controversy in educa-
tional circles about the experiments
under way at St. John's College and
the University of Chicago.
He graduated from Providence
College and received the habit of the
Dominican Order in 1926. He was
ordained to the priesthood in 1934
and received his PhD at the Catho-
lic University.
Dr. Slavin will present his theories

"I regret that I have but one nose to give for Willkie." This was the
battle-cry of Bill Galusha, '42, (above), and Dick Ebbets, '42E, as they
rolled tiny onions with their noses in front of the Union last night.
Galusha and Ebbets were paying off an election bet, which they lost
in the avapn-he of Roosevelt votes Tuesday night.
Had Wilikie 'von, George Baumgarten, '42, and Charles Miller, '41,
would have coaxed those same onions with their own noses. An enthus-
iastic crowd drawn by Barker Miller cheered the crouching figures as
they urged the reluctant onions across the steps of the Union.

Greek soldiers waging a vigorous
offensive against the Italian invaders
have within their grasp the important
Fascist base of Koritza, in southern
Albania, and are shelling it constant-
ly, reports said lastnight.
Advices from the mountainous
front told of the capture of heights
dominating the city and the Greek
high command said retreating Itali-
ans were shelled in confusion by their
own troops.
There were some reports that
Greek troops had taken over Koritza
but confirmation was lacking. It
was said in Athens, however, that
the Greeks might be in better tactical
position if they would continue dom-
inating the city instead of entering it.
Once in the city, the Greeks would
have to defend it against large Italian
forces still nearby.
Italy's air force bombed the Greek
city of Phlorina several times and de-
stroyed substantially half of the city,
reports from the Yugoslav frontier
said. Casualties were reported high.
Troubled Turkey still kept watch
on the Greek-Italian war instead of
actively entering on the side of her
ally and neighbor, Greece, and un-
official reports in Ankara, Turkey,
said Soviet Russia was withdrawing
some soldiers from the Turkish-Soviet
Caucasian frontier as a gesture of
friendship.
Turkey's moves depend greatly on
Russia's attitude as well as on her
relations with Greece and Great Bri-
tain. And a Russian statement in

As a weary group. of footballers
trudged off Ferry Field last night,
Coach Crisler announced that thirty-
four members of the squad would
leave for Minneapolis today at 5:25
to battle with the Golden Gophers
of Minnesota.:
Conspicuously absent from the list
was Milo Sukup, burly guard. Sukup

When questioned
at the hospital
late last night,;
Milo Sukup Sukuplwas quite
dubious about making the trip. "Here
I've been on a losing team against
Minnesota for two years," said the
Muskegon star, "and now, when we
have an excellent chance to take
those Gophers, I'll probably have to-

(By The Associated Press)
PRESIDENTIAL: At 11 p.m.
(EST) President Roosevelt led in
39 states with 468 electoral votes,
Wendell Willkie in 9 with 63.
POPULAR VOTE: With 118,010
of the nation's 127,245 precincts
counted at that time, Roosevelt
polled 25,596,945 and Willkie 21,,-
430,109.
SENATE: 22 Democrats, 12 Re-
publicans and 1 Progressive elected,
giving Republicans a net gain of 4.
HOUSE: Democrats elected 263,
Republicans 162, American Labor
1, Progressive 3, Independent Dem-
ocrat 1. Democrats took 22 seats
from Republicans, Republicans took
15 from Democrats, Progressives
took 1 from Republicans.
GOVERNORS: 16 Democrats and
13 Republicans elected, 3 undecid-
ed. Republicans ousted five Dem-
ocratic governors; Democrats oust-
ed four Republicans.
A will toward national unity mani-
fested itself yesterday as the after-
math of the bitter, turbulent cam-
paign which resulted in President
Roosevelt's election to serve a tradi-
tion-smashing third term as the na-
tion's Chief Executive.
It was evident in the editorials of
newspapers which had strongly sup-
ported Wendell L. WiIkie the de-
feated Republican nominee, in the
statements of many of the country's
leading men, in the usual exchange
of messages between victor and van-
quished and in a radio address made
by Willkie early in the day.
Republican leaders drew much gra-
tification from the fact that the
President's popular plurality was run-
ning far below his 10,00,000 margin
of 1936. In this a number of them,
including Senator Charles L. Mc-
Nary, the Republican Vice-Presiden-
tial nominee, saw portents of a Re-
publican victory in 1944. The statis-
tics indicated that the party's popu-
lar vote this year would be the largest
in its history.
Detroit, Nov. 6-(P)--The merit
system issue, long-time storm cen-
ter of Michigan politics, has finally
been settled by the electorate with
a whopping endorsement of the Mich-
igan Merit Association's Civil Ser-
vice Amendment.
A 175,000 "yes" margin in Wayne
County overcame a heavy "no" plur-
ality out-state against 439,69 nega-
tvies with 2,451 precincts out of 3,632
reported.
On the three other measures the
state balloted upon, metropolitan and
rural voters agreed.
Proposal No. 1, which would have
amended the mill tax limitation, was
snowed under, 534,911 to 427,234 in
2,451 out of 3,632 precincts.
Proposal No. 3, an amendment to
the Motor Carrier Act opposed by the
Detroit Street Railways, lost 660,141
to 425,379 on the basis of returns
from 2,445 of 3,632 precincts.
Proposal No. 4, asking regulation
of professional dental practices, won
out 539,460 to 339,016 with reports
in from 2,439 of 3,623 precincts.
Detroit, Nov. 6. - Belated rural
out-state and Wayne County returns
threatened to wipe out the hithto
"safe" lead of Presiden Roosevelt in
the Michigan general election, and
the result hung in the balance to-
night.
Late tabulations showed the elec-
tion of Murray D. Van Wagoner, Dem-
ocratic State Highway Commissioner,
as goverfor, in his contest with Gov.
Luren D. Dickinson, the 81-year-old

Choral Union Presents Serkin
In Second Concert Of Series
Rudolph Serkin, famous Russian
pianist, will perform at 8:30 today
in Hill Auditorium in the second of
the Choral Union concerts sponsored
by the University Musical Society.
Tickets for the concert may bej
obtained at the offices of the Society1
in Burton Tower throughout the day,
or after 7 p.m. at the Hill Auditorium
box-office.
Born in Czechoslavakia of Russian
parents, Serkin was talented enough
at 5 years of age to warrant tempt-
ing musical tour offers. but his debut
was not arranged until he was twelve.
After appearing with mhe Vienna
Symphony orchestra at that time, he
toured Europe and has been a con-
tinental favorite ever since. His Amer-
ican success was a spectacular one
when after one performance seven
years ago he established his reputa-
tion here.
Last season his concert record was
extraordinary. Te made 11 appear-

People's Interest In Politics
Shown By Vote, Slosson Says
The magnitude of the Democratic
landslide is an impressive indication
of the intense interest the American
people have in political activity, Prof.
Preston Slosson of the history de-
partment declared yesterday in an
address given in the auditorium of
the Kellogg Institute "A Post Mor-
tem of the Election."
Tuesday's yote, viewed with the
added perspective of past landslides
in national elections, he said, brings
out sharply the willingness of the
country to accept changes in govern-
ment. Landslides, he observed, have
become the rule instead of the ex-
percent of the nation's press opposed
the reelection, he added, is conclusive
proof that the nation prepared its
own decision. Under these conditions,
he said, party dictatorship would be
highly improbable.
Speaking of the issue about which
the election revolved, Professor Slos-
son emphasized that the variance-in
the party platforms of the Republi-
cans and the Democrats was so min-
ute as to be unimportant. The only
clearly defined issue, he maintained,
was the third term question; and even
that, he added, was pressed as much
