surrendered his North Italian
forces April 24, 1945.
Although his Fascist Republi-'

about his ears and his hated Ger-
man allies were themselves seek-
ing peace terms, Mussolini chose
not to take up the offer, the par-
tisan, Riccardo Lombardo, said.

Lombardo, secretary-general of

party, testified at the trial of for-

and Mussolini's last war minister.
Graziani is charged with collab-

the Italian armistice of Sept. 8,
1943.

ADVISES
Plans for a multi-million dollar
research center at the University
of Texas were realized recently
when the War Assets Administra-
tion promised to turn a demobil-
ized war-time magnesium plant
near Austin over to the institu-
tion.
According to the Daily Texan,
the plant would create nine sep-
arate research laboratories-near-
ly doubling UT's present research
capacity-and lead to establish-
ing a Texas state civil engineering
survey camp.
For an extra quarter of a mil-
lion, Longhorn officials believe
they can install a subsidiary cam-
pus with hot and cold running
students and a supersonic wind-
tunnel.

But Texas professors dancing
with glee had nothing on a coed
group on their own campus.
"The Texannes," a precision
dance group, are now in their
second year of tripping the light

forts include tap routines, mod-

ern dancing, character numbers
and ballet.
The group, which will consist
of 14 girls after final selections
of the 'team' are made, will have
a proud one-year history to live
up to. Last year they appeared at
several campus functions and were
photographed by two national
publications.
Incidentally, their originator is
now doing pirouettes for MGM.
THE FALL HURRICANES that
whipped the Florida coast to
shreds failed to damage newly
erected dormitories on the cam-
pus of the University of Miami,
according to the Miami Hurri-
cane.
Referring to themselves, the
student publications made quite a
play of "Hurricane Hits Stands
-Despite Hurricane."
BUT TO GET BACK to ex-
panding campuses, the already
sprawling University of California
has acquired the Goleta (Calif.)
Marine Base as a new campus for
its Santa Barbara College.
The Santa Claus was again the
War Assets Administration, ac-
cording to the UCLA Bruin.
The base is comfortably situated
on a plateau of land overlooking
the choppy blue of the Pacific.
If your professor is slow re-
turning bluebooks, don't think he
is lazy-he may be advancing the
human race with a scientific dis-
covery or writing a library of
books.
