D NO VACATION CHANGE The Council of Administration has found it wisest not to grant the petition of the Student Council for a change in the dates of the Easter vacation. A change at so late a date would necessitate a readjust ment and many important plans and engagements already made. The engineering inspection trips form a case in point. Several county clubs also reported dances scheduled for March 24 whiCh could,not easily be changed. The question of Easter vacation dales after the present year was referred to a committee for consideration and report. NOTICE TO UNDERCLASSMEN!
