Freshman Coeds To Vote Thursday
Art Museum To Feature Persepe Crib
The Persepe Christmas Cub, representing the Nativity, will be the December feature at Spooner-Thayer museum. The old Italian way of handling the Christmas scene in its beautiful and unbelievable detail can be observed under the special lighting arrangements.
St. Francis of Assisi originated the art of Christmas cribs in 1223 to teach the story of Christ's birth to those who could not read. From that time until the 19th century, the making of cribs and their figures, called "Persepe" was widespread in southern Europe. The bodies of the dolls are usually of rags to make them pliable. The heads are often of terra cotta. Some are made entirely of papier-mache, and some are carved out of wood.
On one of her trips to Rome, Mrs. W. B. Thayer purchased the group, including the case in which it is arranged, when it was on exhibit at the Castle San Angelo. The castle was the home of Prince Massimo, member of one of Rome's oldest families.
A group of reproductions of Madonnas will be exhibited in the north gallery on the second floor. They are the property of the department of drawing and painting of the University. These, with a smaller group owned by the museum, and a collec-

White House Tells Official Details Of Cairo Meeting
(International News Service)
The White House today announced the following:
"President Roosevelt, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek and Prime Minister Churchill, together with their respective military and diplomatic advisers, have completed a conference in North Africa.
"The following general statement was issued:
"The several military missions have agreed upon future military operations against Japan. The three great Allies expressed their resolve to bring unrelenting pressure against their brutal enemies by sea, land and air. This pressure is already rising."
"The three great Allies are fighting this war to restrain and punish the aggression of Japan. They covet no gain for themselves and have no thought of territorial expansion. It is their purpose that Japan shall be stripped of all the islands in the Pacific which she has seized or occupied since the beginning of the first World War in 1914, and that all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa, and the Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China. Japan will also be expelled from all other territories which she has taken by violence and greed. The aforesaid three great powers, mindful of the enslavement of the people of Korea, are determined that in due course Korea may become free and independent."
"With these objects in view the three Allies, in harmony with those of the United Nations at war with Japan, will continue to persevere in the serious and prolonged operations necessary to procure the unconditional surrender of Japan."

Although specific decisions regarding war plans were agreed upon by President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek at the conference, attended by a glittering array of Asiatic military specialists, the nature of the conclusions naturally was kept secret.
Cairo—Sweeping Pacific offensives from Singapore to the Chinese interior—with a direct attack upon Japan as a probability—were forecast today as among the first fruits of the recently completed three-power conference.
By PIERRE J. HUSS INS Staff Correspondent
However, sufficient grounds were given to justify the conclusion that the three principal conferences gave Lt. Gen. Joseph W. Stillwell Major Gen. Claire L. Chennault, Lord Louis Mountbatten and other Allied leaders in the Far East the "go ahead at full speed" signal. This is expected to be reflected in a co-ordinated onslaught against Nippon, designed to engage Japan's armed strength as soon as practicable in an all-out showdown fight.
