Students will be able to study at the library on Sundays beginning next fall, the A.S.C. library committee reported at the A.S.C. meeting last night.
"According to Chancellor Malott," Dixie Gilliland, committee chairman said, "the library definitely will be open on Sundays next year, probably from 2 until 10 p.m., instead of 2 to 5 p.m., as formerly."
C. M. Baker, director of the library, said this morning that he would make an announcement tomorrow about whether the library will open on Sundays the rest of this semester.
Opposition Groups Fire at British Plan To Evacuate Egypt
London. (UP)—The British government's plan for an Anglo-Egyptian military alliance and gradual withdrawal of British forces from Egypt drew fire today from opposition groups in both countries.
Winston Churchill and the Conservative party called the plan a radical and reckless policy endanger-
the British position in the Middle East. The dissident Wafdif bloc in Egypt attacked the proposal as inadequate and condemned any Egyptian ties with Britain.
Arabs To Ask Stalin For Palestine Support
Jerusalem. (UP) — The Arab higher committee decided today to appeal through the Soviet embassy at Cairo to Premier Stalin for Russian support of Arabic opposition to the Anglo-American recommendations for Palestine.
The letter to be sent to Stalin committed the Arabs to "oppose by all means" any attempts to carry out the Anglo-American report on Palestine.
Railroaders Speed Strike Preparations
Washington. (UP) — Rai iraa workers today speeded detailed preparations for a strike scheduled for May 18, and a union spokesman predicted that the walk-out would prevent coal deliveries even though the bituminous strike were ended by then.
He insisted there would be a "total stoppage" of rail traffic except for troop, hospital and milk trains.
Molotov Objects To Byrnes Proposal
For Pachacamac-N.O.W.
Paris. (UP)—Secretary of State James F. Byrnes today proposed that the Big Four foreign ministers mark the anniversary of V-E day by scheduling the peace conference for June 15, but Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov objected to an immediate decision on the full-dress conference, pointing out that the drafts of peace treaties with Italy and the Axis satellites have not yet been completed.

Pachacamac-N.O.W. Want More Activity Groups on Council
The Pachacamac - N.O.W. party pledges itself to inaugurate independent and effective student government by:

TWO. Action to increase the number of extra-curricular groups represented on the All-Student Council to include all veterans organizations and all other important campus groups.
THREE. Action to insure 100 per cent cooperation with the Veterans Administration regarding all veteran problems and with the University administration regarding student housing.
FOUR. Action to provide for a fair distribution of student tickets for all varsity sports.
FIVE. Action to provide financial support for the Engineering Exposition.
SIX. Action to make the All-Student Council the voice of the student body only, and of no outside pressure groups.
To accomplish these aims and to meet each problem of the coming year with strong and aggressive student action, the Pachacamac-N.O.W. party asks for the support of all University students for its candidates for student office.

Political Fever Soars As Campus Awaits Election
Campus political temperature rose several degrees this morning. the day before election, with both parties splashing campaign literature generously, apparently in violation of a bi-party agreement with the administration.
Presidents of both men's parties disclaimed responsibility for the activity.
Jack Nichols, P.S.G.L. leader, said "Misuse of campaign literature violated P.S.G.L. instructions. All of our party's stickers were removed by 9 a.m."
Bob Holland, Pachacama president, called actions of his party members "unauthorized," and said that "in all fairness to the P.S.G.L., all offending signs will be removed as soon as possible."
Guy Ashcraft, chairman of the All-Student Council's election committee, said that he had notified both party coalitions of the administration's request against improper use of campaign signs.
"Imp proper use" of campaign literature, according to Raymond Nichols, University executive secretary, consisted of placing stickers and posters on cars, windows, trees, and other places from which they are difficult to remove.
Vote Here Tomorrow
Students may vote in the all-campus election for student council members and class officers tomorrow from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the following places:
Four polls will be placed in the basement of Frank Strong hall for District I (College); two in the basement of Marvin hall for District II (Engineering); two in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall for District III (Business, Fine Arts, Education, Graduate and special students); and one in the entrance of Fowler shops for District IV (Law and Medicine).
