P. BLAUSTEINt Michigan's mechanical engineering students will see another "passing of the Spoofuncup" tonight but not before they take advantage of their an1 nual opportunity to soundly "roast" several members of the faculty to decide the "Man Who Can Take It." The Spoofuncup will be awarded for the seventh time at the 12th stu- dent-faculty banquet of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers de- MONTIEVIDEO, Uruguay, Des. 9.--(P)-While sailors rapidly patched battle scars on the British auxiliary cruiser Carnarvon Castle, shown here as it put in for repairs, Germany formally protested to the Uruguayan government against grtnting the ship 24 hours to make repairs. Details of the protest delivered by the Nazi minister, Otto Langmann, were not disclosed but it was understood he said the British were making additional repairs other than those affecting her seaworthiness. The Carnarvon Castle first was given two days to com- plete repairs but the time later was extended 24 hours. The Carnarvon Castle was battered by German shells in a running fight with a raider last Thursday and-put into Montevideo Harbor Saturday to make repairs. Committee Of 28 Campus Leaders Begins WorkOn Goodfellow Drive "V Plans for the sixth annual Good- fellow campaign drive to be held for the benefit of needy students and underprivileged families of Ann Arbor went into effect yesterday with the announcement of 28 campus leaders to sponsor and promote the drive. The Goodfellow drive, the only an- nual all-campus organized and spon- sored charity drive, is promoted en- tirely by students and will be cli- maxed by a street sale of Monday's special edition of The Daily. The drive, which has in the past raised as much as $1,675 in a single day's campaign, is expected to enlist more than 300 Goodfellow volunteers for 10 hours who will canvass down- town Ann Arbor and the University campus in a concerted effort to raise funds for local charities. ' Serving on this year's executive committee are Laurence Mascott, '41, editor of the Goodfellow Edition; Lee Hardy, '41, president of the League; Douglas Gould, '41, president of the Union; Annabel Van Winkle, '41, president of Panhellenic Associa- tion; Patricia Walpole, '41, president of Assembly; James Harrison, '41, president of the Interfraternity Coun- cil; William H. Rockwell, president of Congress and Edward Fried, '41, president of the Inter-Cooperative Council. Also cooperating in the campaign are Hervie Haufler, '41, managing editor of The Daily; Robert Gilmour, '41,, assistant business manager of Draft Permit Required For Canadialt Travel All students of draft age who intend to leave the United States on their' way home this Christmas will need special permission from their local draft boards. Students must have a special per- mit mailed to them from their local board, granting permission to travel through Canada, or they will face the possibility of not being able to re- enter this country. Travelers by car and hitch-hikers are especially cautioned to get per-' mits before leaving for home, while those going by train should carry a permit as a safety precaution.

Mascott, executive committee chairman, stressed the importance of pre-drive pledges, which can be made 'Take A Number' New Union Opera, Opens Tomorrow An old campus tradition will get its second wind tomorrow night when the Union Opera, "Take A Number," goes before the footlights of the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. For it is hoped that the 1941 Opera production will insure the long-life of a new era of Operas that was be- gun this spring with the well-remem- bered show, "Four Out Of Five." In 1930 the glorious age of Operas that made the name of Michigan a theatrical by-line in the "twenties," died a sudden death as the unpara- lleled prosperity of that period. For nine years the tradition of the Opera had lain dormant until this spring on the incentive of Mimes, it was giv- en the necessary support to put it on its feet, wobbly as they may have been. upon application to the business man- ager of The Daily, and urged that their submission be made before Sat- urday. The Goodfellow drive was originally conceived six years ago at a meeting betwen a group of undergraduate leaders interested in the problems of the needy ,and Mrs. Gordon W. Bre- voort, secretary of the local Family Welfare Bureau. Be A Goodfellow Slosson Talks On Germany's Chance In War Effect Of Nazi Aircraft, Subs On British Ships Discussed By Professor The success of Germany's overseas raiders, her submarines and her air- craft against British shipping will de- cide the war, Prof. Preston W. Slos- son, of the history department, told members of the American Association of University Women in a lecture on "Current Events" yesterday in the Rackham Building. The war will be decided not by land, not by air, Prof. Slosson stated, but by sea. Great Britain cannot produce enough materials to wage a successful war against Germany; but she must 'get a steady stream of supplies from the United States. While Italy is not waging a success- ful war against Greece, Prof. Slos- ,on said, the mere fact of her bellige- rency makes her useful in Germany's war against Great Britain. England must keep many ships, airplanes and men in the Mediterranean; forces which might otherwise be used in de- fense of the island. The Johnson Act and the Neutral- ity Act prevent us from extending credit to either Great Britain or Can- ada, Prof. Slosson pointed out, but we might give them money outright, effect a barter agreement or pledge British investments in America. None of these, he emphasized, would be very effective. If on the other hnd, he declared, we should change the neutrality laws and permit U.S. ships to enter the war zones, we would have to accept the consequences. Unless we are pre- pared to accept a formal declaration of war, he said, we should not pursue this policy. Goodfellows - Monday Debate Squad Ends Season Non-Decision OSU Contest Follows Two Successes Men's varsity debate squad con- cluded its Western Conference fall season with a debate with a two-man Ohio State team here last night, in the North Loung of the Union.

Be A Goodfellow Titiev To Talky On Hopi Tribe At Dinner Here Phi Kappa Phi To Hear Discussion Of Indians' PeacefulPhilosophies Prof. Mischa Titiev of the anthrop- ology department will present a lec- ture on "The Peaceful People" at Phi Kappa Phi's semi-annual informal initiation banquet at 6:15 p.m. Thurs- day in the League. In his address Professor Titiev will discuss the Hopi Indian tribes and the various aspects of their culture which make it the "peaceful people." His talk will attempt to show how both their laws and political philoso- phy have been made peaceful and how, unlike the rest of the world, they usually settle their disputes without bloodshed. A graduate of Harvard University with a doctor's degree in 1935, Pro- fessor Titiev has been connected with both the anthropology department and the University museums for the past five years. His special field of study is the ethnology of the south- western United States. Phi Kappa Phi, senior scholastic honorary society, is the only organi- zation of its kind with membership open to all schools and colleges at the University. The initiates, who were adnitted on the basis of scholarship. character and leadership,,will be wel- comed by Dean Alice Lloyd, presi- dent of the group, at Thursday's din- ner.

Desert Fighters Hurl New Assault On Fascist Foes In Sidi Barrani Area Italian Right Wing Beaten, Say Greeks WITH THE BRITISH FORCES IN EGYPT, Dec. 9.-(MP-Britain's arm- ored desert fighters, striking at dawn with new and sudden fury against Italy's invaders in Egypt, captured 1,000 prisoners by nightfall, killed their commanding officer and seized his assistant, the British command announced tonight as the fighting went on. The "great raid" against Marshal Graziani's legions in the Sidi Barrani region, 70 miles from Libya's fron- tiers, possibly heralded the full- fledged offensive against Italy be- cause of its gearing with Italian re- verses at the hands of the Greeks in Albania. Fighting still swirled south of Sidi Barrani late tonight, and more Ital- ian prisoners were being rounded up, the British said. - An Italian camp at Mabeya a few miles south of Sidi Barrani, the coast- al base the Italians occupied three months ago, yielded 500 prisoners, the British said. That many more were reported cap- tured about 30 miles from the coast. This attack, on the Italian right flank, apparently was the main thrust and other British units surged around it and pressed on westward behind the Italian advance lines. Italy's Entire Right Wing In Flight, Greeks Claim ATHENS, Dec. 9.-(M)-The entire Italian right wing behind the Greek- occupied port of Porto Edda has been rout to flight and a whole series of strategically important peaks in the northern sector of the front has been captured by the Greeks, a govern- rnent spokesman declared tonight. The spokesman said that the Itali- In right wing had been put to flight Since yesterday noon. Tlh e Greek warriors, with a fifth f Albania's territory behind them, were making a vast twin drive against ;he Italian armies between them and he port of Valona, the city they ex- pect to be their next big prize. Passing Argirocastro, last of Italy's southern Albanian bases which was raptured Sunday, the Greeks swiftly organized their campaign aimed from the east and south toward Valona, 40 miles northwest, an entry point for 7'ascist men and supplies. Both Berlin And London Claim Bombing Offensives (By The Associated Press) London claims that British bomb- ers dropped tons of high explosive bombs on the Bordeaux lair of Ger- man U-boats which raid Atlantic shipping and possibly scored direct hits on some submarines moored at the main work dock, it was reported tonight. "The pilots are certain that many high explosive bombs fell close to if not on submarines at the dock," the Air Ministry News Service said in its report of last night's raids by the Royal Air Force upon Germany's war machine. Meanwhile, Berlin reports that a great glowing sea of fire that en- gulfed blocks of houses and grain elevators and warehouses was left by German bombers in their mightiest assault on London. The 12-hour raid last night show- ered 700 tons of high explosives and 100 tons of fire-bombs on govern- ment buildings, oil storage tanks, grain elevators and warehouses, the communique said. 'Significance Of 1940 Elections': Prof. J.K. Pollock Tells Forum One Third Of Voters Do Not Vote Back For Annual Ann Arbor Visit: Serge Koussevitzky Conducts Boston Symphony Tomorrow By ALVIN DANN Although the number of voters in the November presidential election was the largest in history, there were still about' one-third of the eligible voters in this country who did not cast a ballot in a highly important election, Prof. James K. Pollock of the political science department 'as- serted in a talk last night at the Ann Arbor Community Forum. Professor Pollock spoke with two Ann Arbor attorneys on a forum discussion of "The Significance of the State and National Elections of 1940" at a meeting held in the Patten- gill Auditorium of Ann Arbor High School. The other two speakers were *'L, .-ncrtnr al.' nlnni- Ci a,'T ndr, groups in voting behavior," Profes- sor Pollock explained. In defense of the non-voter, Pol- lock declared that he has too difficult a task as a result of the numerous decisions he has to make on the large ballots. 4Professor Pollock characterized the suggestion for abolition of the elec- toral college as a reform with far- reaching consequences. The tendency of the electoral college is to keep the number of parties down to two, he said. He mentioned approvingly the proposal to make the electoral col- lege votes approximate the pro- portion of votes each party receives in a state. /"Sn~r 1/n ~r<.h rn~ .n' Serge Koussevitsky, Russian-born conductor, will bring the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra here for the sixth Choral Union Concert at 8:30 p.m. to- morrow in Hill Auditorium. Sponsored by the University Musi- cal Society, the recital will include the playing of Beethoven's "Overture to Leonore," No. 3, Op. 72, and the Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major, Op. 60; and Shostakovitch's Symphony No. 5, Op. 47. The orchestra performance will be its only Michigan appearance this year, and will provide Ann Arbor res- idents their sixteenth opportunity to hear the world-famous group. The Boston Symphony was first heard on this campus in the 1890's, and since 1931 has played annually in Choral Union concerts. The present maestro came original- ly from Russia, where he had organ- ized two great symphony orchestras and established them in Moscow and in St. Petersburg. In Paris, he organ- ized the Concerts Koussevitzky, which enjoyed an unprecendented vogue. Upon taking over the Boston Sym- phon Koussevitzky continued his pol- icy of introducing new composers to his audiences, and was one of the first to popularize Debussy, Ravel, Prokofieff, Honneger, Roussel, Berg, and Stravinsky. Koussevitzky has expressed his con- viction about the importance of mus- ic in these, words: "Great music is a necessity of life. Nothing less-a necessity." His behavior at rehearsals is in line with this hbeliesf.for he is, SANTA IS ON HIS WAY- m w
