Our Turn Now
A motion by a Senate member at the University Senate meeting yesterday that one day a year be set aside by the calendar committee as a movable holiday was voted down by Senate members.
One suggestion for an improved holiday system has been defeated by the body which is empowered to set up the school year calendar. The opposition vote was not unanimous. Reasons for voting against the motion probably were varied.
Rejection of one plan certainly does not mean that further suggestions, recommendations, and motions will meet the same fate. The Senate did not have before it ANY petition or proposal from the All-Student Council.
Last night the Council adopted a motion that states a definite holiday plan. Let's get in on the ground floor of this holiday hullabaloo now by getting immediate Senate action on the student-proposed plan.
Let's get this action by backing the Council's proposal as a unified student body. If we don't get our two bits worth in now, we're back where we came in.
The next Senate meeting will be in February. A special session could be called sooner.
This is the time of year when everyone keeps track of the date by the "number of shopping days till Christmas" notices.
Winnie Churchill stands as an example of what a good rest will do for a man. At the Conservative party's first campaign to win back popular favor, he treated the Laborites to a bang-up job of name-calling and mud-slinging.
Jackie Robinson, the sensational backfield star of the U.C.L.A. football teams of 1939 and 1940 is about to shoulder one of the toughest and most responsible post-war jobs. He's going to be the first Negro athlete to enter big-time organized baseball.
The Hawaiian edition of Stars and Stripes reports that Paul Stewart, son of Senator Tom Stewart of Tennessee is being reassigned to Norfolk, Va. Stewart has 18 service points; men with much higher point ratings are being reassigned to overseas duty. According to Stars and Stripes, the case 'isn't the only one' where an influential papa has made himself heard.
Rock Chalk Talk
Bedtime story—When Dick Marsh leaped into his bed at the DU house, his toe contacted a fuzzy object, quite cold and stiff. After yelping manfully, Dick pulled a dead mouse out of his bed and read the note tied around its middle—"Well, what did you expect—Hedy Lamar?"
Social call—Lights went low on West Campus Road when the Gamma Phi's were seated at evening chow Monday. Since they had no candles on hand and they couldn't see to eat, the GP's descended upon the Sigma Chi dining room to sing for their supper. (Their attempt to snatch the Chi cardware was an unsuccessful skirmish.)
Sports note—Champion pie eater of six counties, K.U. inclusive, is DeeGee's own Faith Severson, 115 lbs., f. 4. in. She won her her title at the Teke "kid party" when she outate six blonde competitors.
Pick-up stuff—Battfelden boys in southeast corner of the dorm, strum on guitars and render touching cow-boy ballads . . . Fred, the K.U. bus driver, is still mighty interested in the threadbare campus topic—
Popular Mechanics—In the interest of science these psychology kissing demonstrations continue To determine the effect of a kiss on the human heart Marty Laffer and Louis Bayles took the leading roles. The recording machinery got quite a work-out.

--walkout . . . Orville Roberts and Jean Moore stood on one leg all the way to a speaking meet at the University of Iowa.
