Belle Daris Peanut Pushing Republican Sad Among the Republicans on the campus who are not too happy with the results of Tuesday’s election is Louis W. Schuele, junior in business administra tion. Schuele was so certain of Re publican victory, that he volun teered to push a peanut with his nose from his roomin Merrick nose from his room in Merrick hall to Oregon hall, in case Dewey was defeated. Shortly afternoon today, ac companied by cheering crowds, Schuele pushed the peanut the length of vets dorm past the libe, across the quad, and so to Ore gon hall. Pinned to his back was a sign reading, “I voted for President ( ?) Dewey.” Author Erika Mann (Continued from page one) willing to supply their views and experiences for the knowledge of the American people. But Erika Mann also interviewed officials, ranging in importance from local chiefs to ex-president Eduard Benes and the late Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk, of Czecho slovakia. In Poland, she toured the concen tration camps. In the Warsaw Ghetto, she witnessed the exhuma tion of hundreds of bodies of Jewish victims. She was taken through the extermination camp at Auschwitz, Poland, where she saw what she de scribed as “lakes of human hair, mountains of human ashes". Con cerning these things, Miss Mann says “the silent language of tens of thousands of human remnants is one of the most terrifying object lessons of the ravages of fascism.” In Breslau, Erika Mann was ad vised to reduce the speed of her car to 15 miles per hour, in order that the vibrations set up might not cause the tottering ruins to fall up on her. “In comparison with Bres lau,” she says, “even Dresden, queen of wrecked habitations, seems hand somely preserved.” On a brighter plane, Miss Mann saw the famous International Children’s Village in Switzerland, where war orprans of every nation ality and political idealogy are giv en a home and education in the at mosphere of internationalism. Says Miss Mann, “Taught by in structors from their own localities in their own tongues, these children are growing up in a world-state of their own. Their success at living together is a practical demonstra tion of the true principles of democ racy, a beacon for the future.” Erika Mann has been correspond ent for Liberty Magazine, the Lon don Evening Standard and the New York Herald Tribune! She has con tributed articles to the Atlantic Monthly, Vogue, The Nation, Coro net, and Mademoiselle. She is suc cessful as radio news analyst and playwright, and is the author of “School for Barbarians" and “The Lights Do Down."

A Britisher Views (Continued from page six) spirit of Mr. Dewey, who gra ciously conceded the victory to the president. Shee, too, has the gambler’s itch and the sports man’s composure. But above all, England admires the American people, who would n’t be hoodwinked by newspapers or Gallup polls. It takes a great deal of independence of thought to refuse to join the bandwagon. The Americans have shown that they are much more politi cally conscious than Europeans had ever thought they were. The elections have done a great deal to dispel the doubts in the minds of many in Europe about Ameri ca’s lead in .world politics. Classified Ads WANTED: Need replacement for Vet’a Dorm immediately.
