German Church To Decide Nazi Gospel Hookup
Hitler Allows Protestants To Vote on Question Of Adherence
Der Fuehrer Calls Election
Chancellor Seeks Revision Of Constitution for Religious Order
BERLIN. Feb. 15 — (UP)— ! Chancellor Adolf Hitler tonight gave 40,000,000 German Protestants the right to decide by ballot whether the church should become an adherent ol the Nazi gospel.
Der Fuehrer, intervening ln a feud among angry factions within the Evangelical church, ordered a new general synod election to provide the church with a revised constitution.
The conflict between conservative churchmen and Hitler’s extreme Nazi followers was brought to a I head by the mass resignation of j thc government's own church ad-, ministrative committee.
The Protestants will vote on these ^ questions:
1.	Should the Protestant church become an Instrument of the Nazi
I state?
2.	Should the new gospel of a blood and race purge be preached in the churches?
3.	Should the old testament be rewritten?
Church officials and laymen were reluctant tonight to hazard predictions on the election's outcome, but [ they agreed that no concilatlon was I possible between the Nazi foes of the Old Testament and the clerical opponent* of "Nazlflcation" of thc church.
| The order stated that, inasmuch as the church committee of Dr. Wilhelm Zoellner had failed to as-| tabllsh peace among the groups of ’ the Evangelical church, the church would decide itself on a new constitution.

Trojans went digging last night in the university gymnasium and. during the shambles, big shots and little shots alike were seen dancing and listening to the lilting strains of the orchestra directed by Freddy Packard. The two-hour affair was voted a success by the <,rowd of collegians who packed the floor.
The one noticeable difference between this dance and others was the glad-hand ballyhoo which was dished out by the fraternity men who came to the dig. not so much to see the new cuties as to keep an eye peeled for rushing nuggets.
Yes, they were all there. Charley Stahl was nothing short of a sen-I sat Ion as he danced Margo Fawcett around the floor. Fred Hall, fire-ball Phi Tau leader, had an eye on. and a dance or two with, Ka.v Warner. Howard Hoon didn't 1 miss his dance with Jane Richie, and J. Van Trawver kept in con-1 s'ant tab with a cute Pi Phi escort.
* The team of Elaine Holbrook and Matl Ryan was on hand. Little dancing was done, as they seemed j to prefer thc coolness of a window I ledge. BUl.v Koonz and Jodee Tho- | mas were among those present and seemed to be having a top time. The same goes for Martha Folsom and Ray George. Lucy Brunswig was ; very much in the company of Fred | Clatworthy. Esther Morrison was j everywhere.
j Tony Tonelli held on to his record of never missing a dance and was last seen keeping time with Mary Jane Hogan. Tish Reese came over from the K.A. tong. was seen for a moineiu, and was then swal-! lowed up by the throng. Prexy Norm Johnson and Mary Evers presented the audience with an exhibition of how "two who are really that way" can dance.
Bob Smirl came in with his attractive blond from the Alpha Chi Omega house, but passed many minutes on the sidelines by himself. The team of Betty Whitworth
and Frankie Thornquist was seen together, bul Yube Ostolch did a good job of cutting in.
Fred Keenan had more than hi* share of troubles, as Jo/m Mangun and passe spent the evening separating him from Sue Carpenter. Dean Eckdahl faired better and was rather constant with Peggy Rice. John Duzik did a little cutting when he got a glance oI Janet Woods, but when Woodsie was last seen she was whipping up a conversation with Thorney Cummings and Buddy Mack.
Tippy Kratka kept a constant eye on Jack Parrant. who seemed to lose no time in dancing with the real honeys.
Dale Heller evidently had a good time, dancing with most of the PI K.A. boys.
All in all the dance was o k The newcomers liked it, the Oreek men made some good contacts, and on the side took inventory ot new oo-eds. The ooeds should have liked It—they got in free.
