Established 1887 Sass VOL. 37-No. 64 Student Hunters Ask Exemption From Cut Fines The first opposition to the cut fine rule was brought last night by a group of student deer-hunt ers who voted to present a peti tion to the Senate Rules Commit tee asking for the recall of fines imposed on, hunters who cut class es the first day of deer season, December 2. December 2 was the first day of 'classes after Thanksgiving va cation and included within the 48-hour cut fine period., Robert A. Wasser '42, who heads the group, said that the Senate Committee on Vacation Absences has already considered the case but the members had dis agreed and for that reason ..has been referred to the Committee on Rules. Wasser said they would seek the backing of All-College Cabi net and A. R. Warnock, Dean of Men, and added that they • felt "reasonably sure" that such back ing could be obtained. All hunters expected to sign the petition, he said, can present proof that they were in State Col lege on December 1, the day be fore classes started. "We were under the impression that we would be excused from classes," Wasser said. "It has been a tradition for .20 years that for esters, at least, are not required to attend classes the first day "of hunting season." In addition to Wasser,,members of the -committee in charge are Roy R. Beck '4l, Glenn L. Bow ers '43, Paul E. Rumbaugh '42, and Benjamin 0.

The attempt of the British to get the good favor of the Spanish people might have been aimed toward their objections to the submarine • bases at Spanish owned Tangiers. An unbelievable large force of German planes occupied all the landing fields in Spain yesterday. The reason for the sudden heavy arming of that country was un known but the Spanish counsel of fered several plausible ideas. They believe that the Germans are get ting ready for a knockout blow to England and that their country is the safest place to store planes; that the occupation of planes, on Spanish soil would take the Nazi forces nearer to the shipping lines; and a very logical one, that they wish to take Gibraltor.
