Boat Ride Plans Progress;
Carnival Day Is Abandoned
Dancing, Treasure Hunt,
Skits and Concert on Bill
The rapidly moving plans for
substitutes for the annual Campus
Carnival have finally centered on
an All-University boat trip on the
excursion steamer Idlewild, pro-bably
on May 17.
Gil Adams, general chairman,
and his co-workers had been toy-ing
with the idea of the boat trip,
but a week or so ago were swung
away from it by a plan for a pic-nic.
The excursion idea has at
last gained victory, however,
Adams announced.
All afternoon classes will be
dismissed by Dean J. J. Oppen-heimer
on the day of the excur-sion.
The program will include danc-ing
all afternoon, and games and
other activities in which any stu-dent
or faculty member can par-ticipate,
Adams said.
Committee heads for the excur-sion,
which is being sponsored by
the Student Council, are Merrill
Gyles, advertising; Katherine
Miller, tickets; Bob Roulston,
boat; and Chester Bower, pro-gram.
DEAN JOLAS ASSIGNED
TO CORNELL COLLEGE
Jacques Jolas, resigning Dean
of the School of Music, has been
assigned by the Juilliard Founda-tion
to the faculty of Cornell Col-lege,
lowa, for a period of three
years.

'
Germany has agreed
to enter an Eastern
Europe non-agression pact, pro-vided
she is exempt from any
mutual military assistance stipu-lations.
Her acquiescence in such
pact was undoubtedly due to the
fact that she found Italy, Great
Britain, and France, in solid
agreement.
Danubian nations will be called
into conference at Rome May 20
to discuss methods of keeping
Austria independent. To this
Germany will probably be invited.
Most of Europe is opposed to
the Anschluss, or union of Aus-tria
and Germany. Such a move
is most distasteful to France and
Italy; France would disapprove
of the military and territorial
aggrandizement of Germany; Italy
would prefer a weak Austria on
her northern frontier than a strong
Germany.
