Senior Night to Be
June 6, In Schwab
For the second time in the University's history, a combined;
bßccalaureate and class night program—Senior Night—will
be held, beginning at 7:30 p.m., June 6, in Schwab Auditorium.
The two events were combined for the first time last year.
Previously, class night usually occurred on a Friday night
and the baccalaureate service
took place on the Sunday morn
ling following the commencement
program. The dual event night
attracts a greater audience than
either class night or the bacca
laureate did separately.
Thomas Hollander, president of
the class of 1958, master of cere
monies for class night, will pre
sent the class gift to President
Eric A. Walker.
A processional originating from
the rear of Schwab will begin
the evening. The procession will]
include college deans, members
'of the president's staff, Univer-I
sity chaplains and senior honors
Imen and women.
The program will follow this
order:

Tunisian Fighting Brings
New Crisis on Pflimlin
PARIS (il))—An outburst of-fighting between French and
Tunisian troops in Tunisia yesterday saddled`Premier Pflim
lin with a new crisis in turbulent North Africa.
Battles broke out between lingering French colonial
forces and Tunisian troops after a French jet fighter bombed
Gaf s a airfield in south-central
Tunisia.
President Habib Bourguiba of
Tunisia broadcast news of the
fighting as Pflimlin struggled to
regain conti of of Algeria from
rightists who demand a govern
ment headed by Gen. Charles de
IGaulle.
Former Premier Antoine Pinay
drove_ off to De Gaulle's country ,
home to try to get him to per
suade the Algerian rightists to
accept Paris rule. Apparently he
failed.
Pflimlin's Cabinet approved
a series of proposed constitu
tional amendments intended to
strengthen the executive branch
and thus take somes'of the wind
out of De Gaulle's sails.
The ministers gave -Pflimlin
authority to make adoption of the
amendments an issue of confi-

in Parliament. They decided to
seek a shbwdown in the National
Assembly Tuesday. .
Fall of Pflimlin's government
now would almost certainly open
the way for President Rene Coty
to call De Gaulle to the nation's
leadership. The Premier seemed
confident this wouldn't happen.
De Gaullist demonstrations
kept on in Algeria. About 100.-
000 persons in Oran cheered
Caullilt leader Jacques Sous
telle and the civilien 7 military
junta leader when they arrived
in that Western City.
The news of the fighting in
Tunisia was first reported by
Bourguiba. He said French planes
dropped a bomb on Cafsa airport,
after ordered out of that base.
