Check On Vacation Cuts Jumps;
Petitions Deadline Noon Tomorrow
Coincident with the deadline
set tomorrow noon for presenting
petitions for exemption from the
Christmas 48-hour cut fine period,
the Senate Committee on Vaca
tion Absences already has receiv
ed more reports from classroom
instructors than the 628 handed
in at Thanksgiving holidays. .
Although the committee has not
compiled the total student ab
sences, the Christmas absences
may not equal the Thanksgiving
class - cuts because more persons
may have gone home early -to
work.
Probably another reason for the
increase.ir. faculty reports may
have been the gradual falling into
line of instructors who took roll-
Average Student
Sleeps 1 Hours
Parents who worry about their
college. sons and daughters not
getting = enough sleep will find
comfort in the figures compiled in
this study of Student Opinion Sur
veys of America. Collegians who
say they -sleep less than - seven
hours each night constitute only
one fifth of the national student
body. The other four-fifths get at
least seven hours, and of * the total
7 per cent say, they spend nine or
more h6urs under-the -covers..
Turning from the field of atti
tude measurements, the Surveys
through <its national - polling ma
chinery has asked a sampling of
all types of students ; "How many
hours a night do you usually
sleep?"
It was found that women, by
their .own admission, sleep more
than do men., Lower - classmen
(freshmen -an - d-sophOmores)''.spend
more time in bed_ than do -upper
classmen . (juniors,- „seniors, and

The survey revealed no evid

The majority of students 'sleep

Unit Heads Say
IMA Outlook Good
See Editorial on Page 2
Exhibiting the same enthusiasm
for the Independent Men's Asso
ciation that was , in evidence at
Wednesday night's meeting of the
Central Council, ._ four unit
presidents last night expressed
their confidence in the organiza
tion's future success. •
The previously lethargic IMA
has definitely been rejuvenated
and will henceforth play an active
part in providing non-fraternity
men with extensive social and rec
reational programs. This was the
contention of Robert E. Graul Jr.
'42 of the Lion Club, Boyd C. Gart
ley '4l of the Blue and White Club,
Robert F. Jones '42 of the Mac Hall
student help, and Elden E. Shaut
'42 of the Pioneer House.
The unit heads said that the
IMA's biggest obstacle, lack of
cooperation, has now been largely
overcome and that each unit now
has the full backing of its men.
Arrangements for the appear
ance of an IMA news sheet early
next week were made at Wednes
day's meeting, and plans were
drawn up for second semester ac
tivities. Three units paid up de
linquent dues.
Last Day For Payment
Journalism studdnts who intend
to be included in the journalism
placement booklet should make
payment today to MiSs Corl in the
journalism office.

PRICE THREE CENTS
Program Outlined For
Government Association
Dr.. William Mather Lewis, Se
lective Service Director for Penn
sylvania, and State Senator Frank
W. Ruth have been invited to
speak at the Pennsylvania Student
Government Association conven
tion here February 21, 22, and 23,
Thomas C. Backenstose '4l, presi
dent, announced last night.
Backenstose also released the
tentative program for the confer
ence which is organized along the
lines of the first conference held
on the campus last year.
Dr. Lewis, who is also president
of Lafayette College, has been
asked to speak on "How the Stu
dent will be Affected by the
Draft." If he accepts the invitation
he will talk at a convention din-'
ner Friday night, February 21.
Senator Ruth's subject will be
"Absentee Voting for Students."
It was Senator Ruth' who unsuc
cessfully introduced a bill before
the State Legislature two years
ago to permit absentee voting in
Pennsylvania.
Delegates from all Pennsylvania
institutions have been invited to
the convention, Backenstose said.
He added that he expects a larger
attendance than at last year's con
vention when 17 colleges and uni
versities were represented.
The first general conference is
scheduled for the afternoon of Feb
ruary 21 and will be followed by
round table discussions later that
afternoon and all day Saturday.
Senator Ruth's talk has been ten
tatively set for Saturday night.
The round table discussions will
be .led-by student leaders,..most of
whom will be from the College. In
some instances they may be aided
by administration staff members,
according to Backenstose.
The final business meeting of the
convention will be held Sunday
when resolutions, adopted by the
round table groups, will be pre
sented to the entire convention.
Backenstose said that all stu
dents on the campus, delegates or
not, will be permitted to attend
the round table discussions. He
said that an attempt will also be
made to have Dr. Lewis and Sen
ator Ruth conduct open, informal
discussions Saturday and Sunday.
