Servicemen's Gifts On Display in Library
An exhibit of gifts sent by servicemen from outside the continental United States is on display at the library.
Included in the display is a sequin jacket from Nancy, France, donated by Jean Boardman; a bracelet from Paris, owned by Rosamund Rowe, a compact from Nancy, and a handkerchief with the French translation on it "At last and forever," both donated by Caroline Morrisr.
Three French notes are displayed, a 50 franc note donated by Evelyn Sutherlin, and two five franc ones owned by Caroline Morris and Everett Sutherland. The blank spaces seen on the French notes contain water marks, when held up to the light. These marks are to guard against counterfeiting.
This exhibit will be changed Wednesday, Miss Mildred Hershey, reference librarian, announced, and a display on gifts from the Pacific and India will replace it. The third week, articles from the rest of Europe will be shown.
The library will be happy to display any article students bring in from overseas servicemen, Miss Hershey said.

Independent Party Drafts Platform, Discusses Name
The platform committee of the Independent Women's Political Party met last night in the Union building to draft a platform for the coming election.

Committee members are Elaine Thalman, College sophomore and chairman of the committee; Donna Mae Wingerson, College junior; Mary Arlene Wisner, College freshman; Anna Marie Stevens, College junior; Louise McIntire, Fine Arts junior; and Jean McIntire, College freshman.

Trusteeship discussion, which wil determine the post-war disposition of vital island bases in the Pacific, was prefaced by a blunt expression of views on the "Big Four" row
Whoever pitches for the team from Carruth, won't be the one Earl Barney wanted. In rounding up a softball squad for his own house, the erstwhile sports editor found himself minus a hurler but knew of a coed pitcher who, he says, is good enough to suit him.

The question is, can he use her?
Barney declares, "there's nothing in the rules to stop me."
But Ray Kaneh says it can't be done. "The women have their own intramural program, and if we allow Barney to use a woman pitcher, it would set a precedent that would soon have things mixed up."
There the matter stands. Barney still hasn't filled out his team.
Nergo Question Revived
The question of Negro participation in major league baseball is revived again in Washington, this time by Rep. Vito* Marcantonio, (A. L., New York). He has called for an investigation of the extent of what he termed discrimination in employment because of "race, creed, or color."
The New York congressman thus continues in line with the precedent set by his state in its anti-discrimination labor legislation of a few months back.
The investigation asked for in his resolution would be made by the secretary of commerce.
Representative Marcantonio said that some Negro players are good enough to play in the top leagues, and pointed out that the proposed investigation would concern only the National and the American leagues, where no Negroes are playing.
The chairmanship squabble which upset yesterday's steering committee meeting, caused deep concern in the United States delegation headed by Sec. of State Stettinius, who had been expected to preside throughout the conference without opposition.
