Raubenheimer, dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences.

Work will consist of grammar, reading, and a “great deal of supervised practice in conversation,’' Dean Raubenheimer announced.
Students will be expected to devote six to eight hours a day to the study, and the work will be the equivalent of five to six units (Continued on Page Two)

iWho will preside at the luncheon.

Under the personal direction of Gen-reralissimo and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, he organized and established the Officers’ Moral Endeavor association, which was the forerunner of the New Life movement.

(A radio Algiers broadcast heard in London said the British navy had disembarked forces at Sfax, on the east coast above Gabes.)
(The German DNB international information bureau, mouthpiece of the foreign office, acknowledged the fall of El Hamma and Gabes in a broadcast, asserting they were evacuated yesterday according to plan. “A British-American big scale offensive against German and Italian forces continues with unabated strength,” DNB said.)
Gabes, with its big, open harbor, was the first of Field Marshal Edwin Rommel’s three east coast ports to come under allied control and the eighth army was rapidly moving on another, Sfax, 75 miles to the north, as its next important objective.
The collapi^ of El Hamma, 16 miles west of Gabes, forced the Afrika Korps to relinquish in haste all of the southeast Tunisian territory below the great salt lakes and left the eighth army in possession of 2275 more square miles of territory, 8000 prisoners and much materiel as the fruits of its smashing nine-day offensive.
And the eighth army was constantly picking off more stragglers and making them prisoner as the enemy columns streamed north through the Gabes bottleneck, official reports said.

Revote may be taken if fraud uncovered
BY STAN HANSON Meeting in a closed session tonight, the student senate is expected to act on Friday’s ASSC election in either of two ways:
1.	It may declare a valid election and accept the voter’s verdict, or,
2.	The election may be declared void and a revote called. The latter appeared as a possibility as a result of three
days of intensive investigation by a specially appointed fact-finding committee which has been checking election forms

Cellist predicts art future
ed tn September, 1940, Colonel Tchou is making a contribution to a new world order.
He headed a three day session, “Win the War—Win the Peace” at the Biltmore last summer.
“The present Nipponese campaign is a militaristic ambition to seize all the world for the land of the Rising Sun,” Colonel Tchou believes.
President greets visiting royalty
The Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg, guests at a luncheon at Town House this noon, will be introduced to the city officials attending by President Rufus B. von KleinSmid.
Mayor Fletcher Bowron will welcome the royal couple to this city and President von KleinSmid will offer his welcome from the university.
“America has a marvelous future I in the arts, for its disciples are settling all over America. However, America must prepare. It is too superficial and has been too busy advancing economically and politically. Now it must advance spiritually/’ said Maurice Eisenberg, world-famous cellist now with the Hancock ensemble.
While in Europe, Eisenberg played to more than a thousand audiences. The most unusual of these was in the middle of the North African desert. On the way to the town the car broke down and the company continued the journey by camel. The population met them halfway and escorted them to town, where they played to 200 colonials who demanded encore after encore. Later they discovered that a holiday had been declared and everyone had turned out for the rare occasion. During every performance Mr. Eisenberg has stage fright. He explained that “to an artist there are new angles every time a piece is played, but to the artisan boredom and the ordinary soon overpower.”
Mr. Eisenberg has studied in Berlin, Ttaly, and Paris. His teacher was Pablo Casals, the most famous living cellist in the world.
At present the celebrated cellist is preparing concert tours. Among his repertoire is the Sixth Suite for Cello, by Bach, written especially for the “viola pomposa,” a five-string instrument created by Bach.

sides, and after election officials had discovered sufficient proof of crooked voting, an agreement was made between both presidential candidates, senate members, Arnold Eddy, and Dr. Francis Bacon which provided for a revote on the condition:
Should the total vote of the losing candidate come within a 10 per cent range of the winninf candidate’s total vote, then the losing candidate would have the right to demand a re-vote and it would be automatically grant* ed.
Caldwell lacked 4? votes of coming within the specified range. His voting strength was 14.6 per cent less than that of Williams. * So the election commission composed of Phil Levin*, Bob Fiske, and Bruce Graham took action and appointed a committee to sift through the election material.
A partial list of the members include Levine, Beverly Royston, Charlotte Quinn, John Lowe, Seymour Vinocur, Don Shaw, Burdette Jordan, and Bob Fiske
Meeting in Eddy’s office, the group has been checking the signature lists taken at tho polls against a registrar’s list of accredited students. All signature lists taken at each of the polls will be verified, name by name, with enrolment records, Levine declared. No ballots are being thrown out by this committee, he added.
There is every reason to believe that many violations resulted from the use of student body cards left by men now ln the ERC.
