Captured Islands Still Problem
Still in abeyance, however, is the
troublesome question of trusteeships
for the captured islands of the Paci-
fic and for some territories in other
parts of the world.
The delegation discussed the trus-'

New Buildiig
Appropriation
Added to Bill
Rithven Testifies
Before Committee
A $1,500,000 appropriation bill for
a new administration and service
building for the University was passed
yesterday by the Senate Finance
Committee, following testimony by
President Alexander G. Ruthven.
The proposal was restored to the
state building bill after having been
defeated last week. Dr. Ruthven
explained to the committee that
there had been a misunderstand-
ing that the building would be a
radio broadcasting unit.
Administrative units now housed in
six separate buildings will be cen-
tralized in the new building, releas-
ing 85,000 square feet of floor space
for needed class rooms, said Dr. Ruth-
ven in his testimony.
The building will provide, fire-
proof storage space for the records
of 137,000 former students. The
controversial radio broadcasting
studios are also to be housed in the
new building. At present these
studios are located in Morris Hall,
a building condemned by the state
fire marshal.
The new building is to be located
on a State street site, stretching from
the Union to Newberry Hall. Called
the General Service Building, it will
serve as' a replacement for Univer-
sity Hall, centralizing administrat-
ive, business, and public offices.
The radio facilities will be used
to broadcast educational programs
on a proposed frequency modula-
tion (FM) outlet. Application for
this outlet has been made to the
Federal Communications Commis-
sion.
Upon passage of the bill by the
committee, Dr. Ruthven commented,
"This is one o fthe most important
needs of the University building pro-
gram at the present time, primarily
because it will relieve needed class-
room space for the Arts College."
Coeds To Collect
gCi' Packages
The women's residence which col-
lects the most empty cigarette pack-
ages per person for the paper-sal-
vage drive will be awarded a prize at
the Panhellenic-Assembly Ball.
All dormitories, League houses, co-
ops and sororities are asked to save
the empty packages, which should be
turned in, with the cellophane re-
moved, packed in cigarette cartons
or other boxes, the day of the dance.
Panhellenic-Assembly Ball will be
held from 8:30 to midnight EWT,
April 27, in the Intramural Building.
It will feature the music and profes-
sional entertainment of Gene Krupa
and his orchestra.

3,000 square miles. '
A Berlin military commentator
asserted that Germany had been
cut in half and now was forced to
fight on ,two separate battlefields,
but did not say whether this meant
that Allied and Russian forces ac-
tually. had met or merely that the
Reich had been cut in two geogra-
phically by American forces reach-
ing Czechoslovakia.
A late front dispatch said that L .
Gen. George S. Patton's 90th Infan-
try Division, which with the 26th In-
fantry is driving toward Czecholslo-
vakia on a 15-mile front, had pushed
eastward two miles during the day
to within four miles of completing its
stag across the waist of Germany.
The German garrison of Chemnitz,
beleaguered fortress city 38 miles'
west of Dresden, rejected a Third
Army ultimatum to surrender and
was being stormed from less than two
miles away.
Lt. Gen. Courtney Hodges' First
Army troops crashed through Leip-
zig's outer defenses .on the fourth
day of the battle for that city and
were meeting lessening. resistance
as they fought into its bomb-shat-
tered outskirts.

William Simpson's Ninth Army laun-

Last 'Zaragueta'
Performance To
Be Given Today
Announcing yesterday that the sup-
ply of tickets for the Spanish com-
edy, "Zaragueta," is decreasing rap-
idly, Anne Partney, chairman of the
ticket committee, urges that persons
wishing to see the play call the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre (6300) imme-
diately to reserve seats for the sec-
ond and final performance of the
play to be staged there at 8:30 p. m.
EWT (7:30 p. m. CWT) tonight.
Playing before a capacity house
last night, "Zaragueta," which was
written by Miguel Ramos Carrion
and Vital Aza, stars Ann Terbrueg-
gen and Carlos Soares. Presented by
La Sociedad Hispanica, this comedy
in two acts is under the direction of
Prof. Ermelindo A. Mercado of the
Romance Language department.
Proceeds from the play will go, as
in former years, towards two $50
scholarships to be awarded members
of La Sociedad Hispanica, who will
attend a summer session at the Uni-
versity of Mexico.

LIGON SPEAKS:
"Education of
Character Is

Now Necessity'


"We must achieve character edu-
cation in the near future or look
forward to the almost immediate end
of American democracy," Dr. F1arnest
M. Ligon, author of "Their] Future Is
'Now," declared in an address last
night at Kellogg Auditorium.
Character Can Be Taught
'Speaking at the invitation of the
Michigan Chapter of the Religious
Education Association of the United
States and Canada and of the Uni-
versity Counselor of Religious Educa-
tion, Dr. Ligon stressed the point
that character traits can be scienti-
fically and systematically taught
children, grade by grade and trait
by trait.
Used by about 500 church schools,
Dr. Ligon's training program consists
of the application of science to reli-
gion.
Religion Succeeds
"Religion has thus far succeeded
enormously in raising the morality of
the peoples of the world from what
it was at the time of Moses," Dr. Ligon
declared. "Our present task," he con-
tinued, "is to advance our morality
as far above .that prevailing today
and as the prevailing morality of to-
day has advanced over that which
existed when Moses led his people
from slavery in Egypt."
The most efficient among the
people living today, according to Dr.
Ligon, are no more than one-third
efficient.
'Citizen Kane'
To eShown
"Citizen Kane," a movie involv-
ing the search for the story of a dead
man's life, will be shown at 8:30 p. m.
EWT (7:30 p. m. CWT) tomorrow
through Saturday in the Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre.
Kane's last word, "Rosebud," sets
a newspaperman on a search into the
history of this dynamic man to find
the happiness or misfortune this word
signifies.
This film is being brought to the
University by the Art Cinema League
as part of its program sponsoring the
presentation of outstanding foreign
and American cinema productions.

candidates seeking the student position with the Board in Control of Stu-
dent Publications, have listed their qualifications and policies in the cam-
paign statements on this page.
One of these four will be chosen for a three-semester term with
the Board in the all-campus election which will be held from 8:30 a.m.

The Daily and the 'Ensian and the
control of the policies and the ap-
pointment of the senior staffs of both
publications.-
The candidates' statements:
Allan Anderson: '
Five years as a student at the
University of Michigan has given
me some idea of the importance
of a student publication that re-
flects the views and attitudes of
the students which it purports to
represent. I believe in the ability
of those same students to manage
their paper in a manner commen-
dable to the high standards of this
University. Some guidance by the
faculty must necessarily exist.
This guidance should not be a de-
vice for the rigid control of opin-
ion but should be a liberal advisory
board to further the broader aims
of a college newspaper. I will make
it my duty to carry this belief into
effect. Member of Theta Delta
Chi, Phi Eta Sigma, Phi Kappa
Phi; discharged Army veteran;
formerly member of the Union
Staff and Manpower Corps."
Cornelia Groefsema:
"I feel that I am qualified for this
position because of my wide acquain-
tance and participation in campus

would select persons for editorial pe-
sitions on the basis of the recom-
mendations of the present editors
and of the past work of these candi-
dates on the paper: articles they
have written, etc.
"As a student member of the
Board in Control, I would attempt to
interpret the editors' positions to the
faculty members of the Board."
Robert Hume:
"I Robert H. Hume feel that I
am qualified to run for the Board
of Control of Student Publications
for these reasons: 1. I have served
already on the Board and there-
fore know the functions that the
Board serves and how the Board
functions. 2. I have been asso-
ciated with Campus Activities for
eight terms and have been able to
get or understand the student atti-
tudes on those subjects which af-
fect the Board of Publications. 3.
I feel that I am mature enough to
keep a level head and serve the
students well. If elected, I will do
my best to promote the interests of
the students and to create good
feeling between the Board and
members Hof The Daily's staff."
