Senate's New Plan Gives Longer Time for Easter Holiday
Hobo Day May Be Omitted Christmas Recess Cut, Thanksgiving Period as Usual
A plan for holidays somewhat different from the scheme proposed by the Men's Student Council was recommended to the University Senate Committee. Since the Senate proposal was to be submitted to the Men's Student Council and the W.S.G.A. before final action, a vote in the senate was decided.
The Men's Student Council had asked that the Thanksgiving vacation be shortened to a single day; that Washington's birthday be not observed as a holiday, and that the Easter vacation extend from the Friday before Easter, and include all the following week.
The recommendation of the Senate advisory committee was:
That Easter vacation extend from noon of the second Saturday preceding Easter (the day before Palm Sunday) to 6 p.m. on the Monday following Eas-
That Hobo day be discontinued.
That Hobo day be discontinued.
That the half holiday sometimes given following the Missouri football game be discontinued.
That Washington's birthday be discontinued as a holiday.
That Thanksgiving recess remain as at present (Wednesday noon until the following Sunday night).
That the Christmas vacation be shortened to compensate for the lengthened Easter vacation, and to equalize the length of the 'fail' and spring semesters. Exact dates for the Christmas holiday would be announced; you would be invited to resume classes on a Friday, should Jan. 2 fall on that day.
Because of some of the uncertainties of the calendar, the Senate decided it would wbi to have a general committee on calendar, and it was so ordered.
In this connection, it was stated that at present the only rules governing length of term, holidays, and the like is a rule of the regents of the early centuries should begin on the Wednesday nearest Sept. 12 of each year.
Paragraph 2 of the M.S.C. requests asked for a day intermission between final class days and the beginning of final examinations. This had been referred to the Senate committee on examination schedules. The committee requested that the Senate committee review people, but in view of the peculiar arrangement of calendar it would be unwise this year, and suggested that some of the comparatively small classes be scheduled for examination the first day of the examination period, thus giving the majority of students the desired time to study. The senate approved this plan.
Professor M. E. Bice, chairman of the committee, pointed out that for many years past the Memorial Day vacation has served to break the excavation period. On the Memorial Day (Tuesday), falls one day before the close of the recitation period, and there is one more day than usual assigned for examination. With the longer period, it will be possible to complete the examination and close at the usual time.
The Senate spent considerable time discussing a situation arising in the School of Fine Arts in which a student by skill and industry had completed work sufficient for two degrees within a four year period. The Senate tool box includes some information from the School of Fine Arts as to it plan for meeting such situations.

Chicago Students on Strike
Direction Action Taken in Behalf of Unpaid Teachers
Chicago, April 5—(UP) —Chicago high school students went on strike today protesting because their teachers have not been paid.
The strike started in the Calumet High School on the south side of the city, where 4,500 students walked out and declared they would not return to school until some relief has been offered. The students worked since last June without pay.
Following the lead of the Calumet students, the move spread to Englewood High School, where 400 pupils of both sexes marched out. They paraded down the street to the home of Mayor Frank W. where a demonstration was staged.
It was estimated that 13,500 students had joined the strike today. There are in Chicago approximately 17,000 teachers who have been uppaid for nearly a year. The total funds due them amount to more than $17,000,000.
Local City Government to Be Mayor-Counci
Spalding Wins Close Race Against Rankin for M
Mayor
Lawrence will change its form of government from the commission type to the mayor-council system, it was voted here yesterday, 2,087 to 2,174, in a vote by all 52 members. W. E. Spalding defeated R. C. Rankin, 84, for mayor by a 2,390 to 2,162 vote. Rankin carried only one of the fifteen precincts here, where a total of 5,006 voters turned out to cast their ballots. Spalding will serve for only two years as the customary three because of the change in the form of city government.
In 1935 Lawrence will elect a mayor and 12 ward councilmen, along with a city marshal and police judge, to succeed the mayor and three commissioners. The present commission form of government will remain until 1935.
In the race for the three positions on the school board, A. B. Ewing, president of the board, was first over five other opponents with 3,077 votes. The other two elected were W. H. Quakenbach and James Lawson, associate dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences at the University, with 2,556 votes.
Mrs. Whit Churchill was re-elected treasurer of the school board, defeating Mrs. Margaret Sharp, '01, by a 2,600 to 1,989 vote.

To Address High School Debaters
Suggestion Made to Shorten Week of Commencemen
At a preliminary meeting of the Commencement committee of seniors and faculty members yesterday, a plan was suggested for shortening the commencement season, the committee announced today.
Committee Proposes Plan to Condense Season and End Program on Sunday
By having the alumni business meeting and address on Saturday forenoon instead of Monday forenoon, the alumni will be free for that day. The alumni and seniors would then have their lunches before Sunday noon followed by the Chancellor's reception and the alumni-senior dance, as in past years.
The suggestions offered were to make the exercises into a more compact group, not starting earlier, however washing the entire program by June 13.
The Baccalaureum sermon would be given in the University auditorium instead of the Stadium, and on Sunday forenoon instead of Friday. Having the sermon in the Auditorium, the seniors said, would do away with the preliminary procession to the Stadium which detracts from the impressiveness of the regular assembly.
The commencement ceremonies, however, would be held in the Stadium as usual but would be Sunday night instead of Monday夜. In keeping with the shifting, the senior breakfast at the Memorial Union on Sunday morning.
Advancement of Commencement to Sunday evening would make it necessary to start earlier on the printing of Commencement programs, with lists of the cardidates, said Professor W. A Dill chairman of the sub-committee on printing. This would probably not be difficult, Professor Dill said, since all faculties have for several years held final meetings Saturday afternoon.
The faculty of the College has been giving the dean permission to insert names of any stragglers who clear their academic record before noon Sunday, but few such stragglers have been noted in recent years. If all lists were posted Saturday evening, programming programs would be provided in ample time, he said.
The class of '83 and '08, and the departmental reunians will have their meetings irrespective of the plans of the investment program, the committee said.
