Easter Vacation Begins Too Soon
Easter Is Dissolved . . . Silly Stuff . . . Saints and Simmers . . .
Overture . Caused by Remorse.
The dog that lives at the editor's house came in Monday afternoon look-alike. He was a brown week-end. He had some news to tell so I scanned his back while he talked. On Sunday he had been choosing the chicken and picked up a couple of items.
A girl who lives on the second floor of that house was called twice to the phone in the midst of her daily scrub. Even though sorority bath water is noteriously cold, she didn't mind the calls from her fiance and the calls came from her fance in Texas.
*
A rumer to the effect that Easter vacation would start immediately following conversation like wildfire on the Campus yesterday morning. With all due respect to the speaker, I don't know if no one's feelings, wonder of the large audience might not have been inspired by that rummer.
For some time the mystery of the man who played the trumpet outside the hospital to a sick musician inside was unsolved. He has been positively identified as a friend who sits next to him in the Little Symphony orchestra, but no one else is on tour. They were played along with other touching numbers on the trumpet.
Just Stuff! Why did the Phi Giant call up the DU, house for choice dates to the Intramural Carnival immediately after learning that the DU's were quarantined? -Can't they get their own dates? -The Phi Giant are planning a "get acquainted" campaign to start immediately after Easter vacation. At recently discovered that many of the boys didn't know each other.

Saints, hypocrites, and sinners make up the congregation in one of the classes of the school of religion. A few of the students who expect, and probably will get, A. The next few rows are filled with the luk-warm saints, which make up the B's and the back rows are recessions for Gardner, Willie, McCaskell, and Richardson are said to occupy the back pews most of the time. Since no first names were given, you will have to not who the little "devils" are named.
The blonde coke menace was sorta put out cause I dated her on the rebound after that engagement ring adoration. And then she said she had her in some way since I realized it might have embarrassed her. So I took her down and bought her a coke, and she did a touching thing then. She paid for it herself. You know, I am a woman with a smile and a look when a woman uses her wiles.

'European Peace Hinges on Austria,' Says Dr. Dengler
Explanation Is Given of Future Possibilities for Conflict of the Danube
"To maintain peace among the countries on the Danube, at present seems to depend on the maintaining of the independence of Austria", Dr Paul D. Lengler, director of the Austro-Ukrainian Treaty Organization in Vienna, and in his address "Can Peace Be Preserved on the Danube" during convention yesterday.
Between Large Countries
Second: Nationalism - Austria is located south of France, and all of which are interested in her. France does not want Austria to join Germany would then be too strong. Italy has served as protector over Austria and has supervised her resurgent. Dr. Dengler expressed his doubt that war would come from this cause unless he broke out from the first possibility.
In his analysis of the war situation in Europe, Dr. Dengler set forth four possibilities which might lead Europe to resist a war against the countries which many of the nations face may lead to revolt against the starvation instillation from which they are suffering.
Between Large Countries
Third. Large outside powers - Austria has too many friends interested in her war with France and Germany. It war would break out among these powers it would be difficult for Austria to avoid a war and in such a case Austria would be the fattest opponent.
Danger In Fascism
Fourth. The Fascist mind—which is gaining strength in the youth of Europe, places the state above the individual and presents a real danger. It opposes their countries and their dictators and are taught to believe in the supremacy of the state over the individual. In discussing the economic crisis which European nation faces Dr. Dengler said the major case was from China, whose industry fostered by the governments after the last war. The war veterans of Austria were not paid with a cash bonus but with land which they were able to cultivate profitably. They interest rates with which to buy expensive machinery from the "hot-house" industries. After they obtained the machinery they did not know how to use it and lost their lands. Faced with the people tried to enigrate and were shut out from America.
Ruined By Nationalism
"Nationalism, in Europe is running itself," Dengler said. Austria tried to draw in Germany in 1918 but was forced to remain independent while France refused to support the Austrians refused to become part of Germany. After Dolfuss set up a dictatorial state in Austria in 1834, he was killed by soldiers and they were in turn crushed brutally.
The large powers, Italy, France, Germany, and Russia are all interested in the future of the Middle East and advance toward an alliance with her but all are waiting for the outbreak. The present Austrian government is close to Munoliu but it also desires greater autonomy.
"The state is supreme, the individual nothing." Thus Dr. Paul Dengler expressed the central theme of his talk in Prazer theatre yesterday afternoon at the Institute of Fascist Education." Dr. Dengler compared the metamorphosis of the Italian and German regimes, the prinatic countries in the world today.
Despite the dangerous situation in the Danube area, Dr. Denger still has hope for peace in Europe. He said that despite the dangers to the by common people who are the only ones to see clearly. We are now aware of the dangers of war, the people of the various nations are at heart with us and have ideas of brotherhood is still prevalent".
"Ilya wants to have a ever-victorious country," he said, her despair and disappointments are leading to a much wanted happiness with the introduction of this type of education. Germany in the World War but accepted the idea that was brought about by outside pressure along with Adolph Hitler."
. Dengler stated that Italy at

Disarms Fascism
Bonus Battlers Are Put To Flight By Army of One
The Veterans of Future Wars met defeat in their first battle yesterday morning when Chancellor Lindley's private army, Raymond Nichols, attacked the veterans' recruiting office, the officers' and privates in charge to flight.
Nichols, Unarmed, Takes Fort Despite this formidable army, Mr Nichols, alone and unarmed, except for a small number of the enemy camp, and took over the entire fort. Officers and men who were captured with the camp were put to work at once dismantling the barricade, and carried it piece by piece to the basement.
The recruiting office had been barricaded with sand bags (stuffed with straw) and armed, with machine guns (no but bullets), three German helmets, two Civil War muskets, an ancient gas tank, and a gun that had failed to explode in the last war.
The recruiting office had been erected only yesterday morning by the veterans in an effort to enlist new members for the force. The next week, the rachee which was brushing with grums, the future warriors displayed blazing placards, advertising the benefits to be derived from joining their organization, and announcing that they would drop (dues) and $1000 bonus back."
Doing a "Land Office" Business
The boys were done a land office business, as dozens of veterans joined the staff. They wore medals inscribed, "Awarded for Future Gallantry in Action." Some of the new recruits even paid their "two—on—time."
Italians Begin Advance Against Jijiga and Hara
General Philip Renick, c'37, announced last night that the war was not over. "We will continue to fight," he said. "It is up to me to make the world safe for witchcraft."
Selassie Believed To Be Fleeing
To War Headquarters
at Dewey
at Dessye
Field Headquarters, Italian Army in Northern Ethiopia. April 6- (UP) An American patrol jettisoned offensive against Harar and Jijir, the chief cities of eastern Ethiopia, was believed under way tonight for operations to carry out a bomb programs of Sasa Burah.
Shortly after dawn a squadron of bombers zoomed over Sina Banah, and the air force sent a centration presumably there to help check the advance of Grantman's aviation.
Sasa Barah is south of the chief cities and lies directly in the path with Granziani's "hone on wheels" column. It is expected to consolidate a position within striking distance of French-owned Abaiba railroad, life his of Ethiopia.
Expect Thrust at Railroad

Severe Tornado
Takes Huge Toll
In Georgia Town
Death Loss Is Not Known
Hundreds Are Injured
As Flames Add
to Damage
Gainesville, Ga., April 6—(UP)—A twisting black cloud blotted on the sun just as this little southern city began its activity today, and in a few brief minutes the heart of Gainesville was piled with twisted debris and mangled dead. Rain pouring down in blind sheets followed the tornade. Day was turned into night when rain poured out in a half dozen buildings and the stricken city was lighted by flames.
Dig for Bodies
"You can't tell how many are dead," Police Chief G. D. Hopkins told the United Press. "We have just begun to dig into the wreckage. Some estimates run as high as 500, but I hope that figure is too high."
The flames added to destruction wrought by the tornado. The city's fire fighting equipment was buried when the city hall was destroyed. Water mains were broken. Pumping facilities were knocked out of commission.
Fire departments at Atlanta and nearby towns rushed equipment and men to check the fires by use of dynamite if necessary.
Talmadge Sends Relief
Gov. Eugene Telmadge sent two companies of national guard to protect property and to aid in recovery of bodies and rescue of those hurt. Corps of doctors and nurses were organized by the Red Cross. The twister struck the center of the city at 8:45 a.m. The business section is grouped around the court house and a central square. The court house and the city hall were demolished, and the court had two-thirds of the business section occupied. The tornado skipped through the residential area and struck a swath on the edge of the city.
Among these was the New Holland Mill, employing 200 women. It caught fire and the women were reported in danger.
A school house was destroyed 12 minutes before classes were to begin. Most of the children were playing in the yard.
Communication Broken
Property damage was estimated a $5,000,000 but with all communications except one telephone line down, this was as much guess work as the estimate.
The approach of the storm was described by J. W. Eskew, engineer of a southern railway train which stopped here at 8:32 a.m.
"We stopped for water," he said. "Suddenly I saw this black cloud coming and I told the fireman we had better get out and as fast as we could.
NUMBER 131
"We started but had to stop about two miles from town because the automatic lights were out. All around I could see people running. The wind almost blew the clothes from their backs. When we got to Buford it to the ground. When we got to Bufforf it was as night. The tornado struck Gainesville about 10 minutes after we left."
It may be days before the actual death toll will be known. It may never be accurate. Several persons were known to have burned to death in demolished buildings. Three fires still raged this afternoon.

Senate Will Consider Eight o'Clock Classes
Semester
Calendar Committee Recommends Change for Coming Semester
Whether or not classes at the University will start on the hour next semester will be up for consideration by the University Senate this afternoon when the Calendar Committee will recommend such a change.
Prof. Guy Smith, chairman of the Prof. committee, maintains that beginning classes at 8 a.m. would provide an increase of one-eighth in the total class size and help students create an eight-hour class schedule instead of the present seven-hour plan.
The proposed schedule, Prof. Smith declares, would do away with the conflict of time schedules which are followed by college meetings that followed by business men. It would also provide more time for intramurals and athletics, and there would be sufficient time for two-2 hour laboratory periods in the afternoon. Prof. Smith will carry the full schedule of 15 hours without enclosing in an 8 o'clock class. The committee is composed of Prof. Smith, Gorge O. Foster, registrar, of the W.S.G.A., clerk, president of the W.S.G.A.; and Lyman Fool, president of the M.S.C.
