COMPLETE CAMPU! COVERAGE Vol 29, No. 27 SENATE CONSIDERS CALENDAR CHANGES Tentative Plans for 1933-34 College Schedule Extend Second Semester, Shorten Thanksgiving Vacation Containing changes which affect the major vacations during the school year, a proposed College calendar for 1933-34 was sub mitted to College Senate for approval last night. Student Board had previously reviewed it for the purpose of determining student opinion. Extension of the second semester by one week and the reduc tion of the Thanksgiving and between-semcsters vacations to one school day each were the chief features of the proposed revis ions as drawn up by the special committee. Prof. Earl B. Stavc ly, of the electrical engineering department, was chairman of; the group. 2 Vacations Increased Both the, Christmas and Easter va-, cations were substantially increased in length, the former to eighteen days and the latter to one full week. The extension- of the Christmas vacation was deemed necessary by the commit tee in order to allow full observance by the students of the New Year holi- As drawn up by the faculty com mittee, the 11)33-34 school year will begin with registration on Monday and Tuesday, September 18 and 19. Alumni Homecoming Day was desig nated in its usual place, Saturday, October 21. Tho annual football half-holiday was not determined, since the date is! decided by the students. The commit tee, however, suggested November 18 for the scheduled game with Pennsyl vania at Philadelphia. According to the. proposed calendar, a one-day Thanksgiving holiday is set for No vember 30. Reasons Cited Beginning on Saturday, December 36, at noon, the Christmas recess would continue until 1:10 o’clock Wed nesday afternoon, January 3. This change was made because of the short interim between Thanksgiving and the Christmas recess, and to avoid a New Year's situation as encountered this year. Registration for the second semest er will begin on Monday, February 5, immediately following the close of the first period on Saturday, February 3. The Easter recess ns'proposed will be gin Wednesday noon, March 28, and end at 1:10 o’clock on Jhe following Wednesday, April 4. The Memorial Day holiday is set for Wednesday, May 30. ( The 1934 commencement will be held on Monday, June 11, just one week later than this year’s date. The i’euson for the difference is that this year’s second semester is shorter by seven days than the normal semester.

Dickson, of the architecture department, has an nounced. Thu display, which is entirely photo graphic, is being circulated by the American Federation of Art at Wash ington, D. C. r and was personally col lected by Prof. Arthur U. Pope, di rector of the American Institute for Persian Art and Archeology. The collection will be exhibited here until Saturday, January 21. Photographs of Persian mosques, palaces, tombs, and other native struc tures covering architectural styles ranging from the ninth to the eigh teenth century, make up the collec tion. Professor Pope risked his life several times in obtaining the photo graphs when he entered holy places to which only Persians are admitted. Intensive, investigation of Persian architecture has been undertaken only in recent years, according to Prof. Dickson. The pictures collected by Professor Pope include photographs of the interiors of some Persian build ings which are being shown for the first time to the western world. 1 Prtrn #tatr (Unllegtan. | ~ ‘HAY FEVER’CAST RESUMES PRACTICE Players To Present Comedy by Coward on January 14 in Schwab Auditorium Rehearsals have been resumed by members of the cast of “Hay Fever” which will be presented by the Penn State Players in Schwab auditorium next - Saturday night, according to Frank S.

However, if there is no support amun; r the vatious colleges for a national tournament, then the eastern tourney, in which Army. M. I. T., Syracuse, Western Maryland, and Penn State will compete, will take place here. Mr. Fleming said. Following the acceptance of Penn Stale's invitation at the meeting, the question was taised of holding the national tourney again ami elimin ating the eastern meet. A survey of the attitude’ of the various college boxing associations was decided upon and a final decision await* the com pletion of th.* survey.
