Student Panel' Placed in Court of Harris Hall
Senator Wheeler Flays Eastern War Mongers
A student-produced sculpture panel, “representing modem youth as students,” was last week placed in a niche of the court of Harris hall as the first of a series of stu dent works to decorate the building.
Dean Arthur C. Weatherhead of ] the College of Architecture and Fine Arts, who made the announcement of the new panel, said the work “captured the spirit of the building with its strong, modem lines,” and said “such student work gives an art building individuality and character.”
Miss Evalyn Virginia Mitchell, SC student, created the panel as the thesis for her master's degree in fine arts, and designed it to carry out the original plans of the architect.
It depicts a boy and girl, each holding a cup in outstretched hands, and is “a symbol of modern youth holding out cups at the fountain of knowledge and inspiration,” according to Miss Mitchell.
The work was done entirely by the sculpture and ceramics departments of SC. being glazed and fired in the university kilns.
GREEK BRAVERY
“For example, in the most difficult move ordered by general headquarters the Greek troops not only showed bravery but repulsed the Italians urho tried to harass them everywhere, in some cases counterattacking.”
The public security ministry said German planes operating in relays attacked Pireaus, the port of Athens, and Eleusis. They caused some damage and a number of casualties, but five raiders were shot down. Some other villages in Greece and the island of Crete wyere bombed.
‘GLORIOUS RETREAT’
The Germans, it was claimed, have failed to break through in raging battles around Kalabaka north of the Thessaly plain and also have been thrown back at Mt. Olympus and Carandaporon pass.
(The Greek radio said that the Germans were bringing up vast reinforcements of infantry, planes and “panzer” units to fill the gaps left by their terrific losses and and “the British are fighting like lions and still holding their positions.”)
An official British statement said that the withdrawal to the new, shorter line in the Greek mountains to the south is proceeding “as well as can be expected” in a holocaust of battle into which both sides are throwing all available armored weapons.
NEW GOVERNMENT
The British and Greek forces wrere said to be resting all along the front from Chimara to Mt. Olympus*and the Athens press reported late today that Mt. Olympus still is holding out against fierce assaults from the north and wTest
The sixth day of German blitzkrieg, coming in waves without regard to loss of life, found the Greek people united as never before and rallying to a new royal dictatorship of 51-year-old King George II. Today he announced a new government with himself as premier.

Baxter Reads Herrick's Poems
Poetry selection by one of England’s greatest pastoral lyricists, Robert Herrick, will be the subject or readings today by Dr. Frank C. Baxter in the art and lecture room, Doheny library, at 12:30 p.m.
Herrick was a 17th-century poet who saw and captured, in his writings, the picturesqueness of English home life. He was the most popular of the “cavalier poets,” a group led by Ben Jonson. Many of his poems are but two-line fragments that are mere experiments in diction for the purpose of playing up the curious awkwardness or beauty of words.

Fleeing Italians Blasted by Guns of Axis Allies
WITH THE BRITISH GARRISON BESIEGED AT TOBRUK, April 17—(Via Cairo and London; Delayed)—(U.P>—German tanks today opened fire on about 1000 Italian infantrymen when the Fascist troops turned and fled from an attack on this desert stronghold under a blasting of British artillery.
The tank and infantry attack occurred in a sandstorm that cut visibility to about 20 yards. The German tanks would suddenly loom up like ghostly monsters out of the storm before the British defenders.
After the melee, a patrol of Australians with three mobile Bern gun carriers darted out in an en circling attack and seized 847 Ital ian prisoners including a German officer, an Italian colonel and more than 20 other officers.
The sun-bronzed defenders of Tobruk who have stood up against a battering ram of German and Italian tanks and waves of infantry assaults for six days have made this desert siege a costly one for the Axis.

LONDON, April 21 — (l’.E) — Bomb-weary Londoners, fearing a third German blitz in five nights, flocked into subway shelters last night in the greatest numbers since September. But early today there was no report of Nazi raiders anywhere in Britain.
The capital had a brief alert signal in mid-evening. The all-clear sounded a short time later and it was believed the alarm might havt been falsa.
