Classes Canceled for Spring Carnival Holiday
Committee
OK's Lee
Proposal
May 15 has been designated
Spring Carnival Day and classes
have been canceled, according to
Richard C. Maloney, secretary of
the council• on administration.
The holiday - recommendation
was passed by All-College Cabinet
Thursday and was sent to the
council, which passed it yesterday,
morning.
JoAn Lee, recently defeated,
candidate for All-College v'i. c e
president, presented the. proposal
to Cabinet. She pointed out that
since pre-registration had . been
canceled, there were two extra
days on the , College tcalendar,
which was already complete with
out the two days. '
Miss Lee first suggested the one
day holiday during a radio broad
cast when she was campaigning
for the post of All-College vice
president.
George Backs Proposal
At the Cabinet meeting Thurs
day, Clair George, chairman of
the Board of Dramatics and For
ensics, said that May 15 would be
the best time for the holiday since
this is when the spring carnival
will be held, and a holiday would
give organizations sufficient time
to set up their booths. He pointed
out that in the past, because of
the short amount of time to set
up booths, the carnival has been
opened with some booths in
complete.
The council on administration
inciudes the deans of the various
schools and the President of the
College.
The spring carnival is scheduled
from 1 to 11 p.m. May 15 on the
west parking lot, directly behind
Sigma Chi and Sigma Nu.
Pre-registration Eliminated
Yesterday and today were or
iginally for pre-regisk
tration, but changes in the Col
lege's registration system brought
about the cancellation of pre
registration. Classes were to have
been suspended for pre-registra
tion.
A new system of centralized
registration is , being put into
effect. The new system eliminates
first phase registration. Control of
section size will be accomplished
at Recreation Hall during the fall
registration period, Sept. 10 to 13.
Advisers to Approve Schedules
Under the new plan, only sec
tion cards for the number of per
sons the section can accomodate
will be handed out during the
registration.
When arriving on campus next
fall, the student will secure ap
proval of his schedule from his
adviser and then procede to Rec
reation Hall, where the alpha
betical schedule will be enforced.
If any changes are necessary, they
can be made with department rep
resentatives during the registra
tion procedure.

over China and Groff returned to
America, the committee suggested
that this be discontinued.

Six projects have been suggest
ed for the use of the offering,
'which now amounts to about $4500
each year,
One • of the' three international
projects would contribute the of
fering toward Allahabad Agri
cultural Institute, the Christian
college of rural life ,for India.
Another would send it to Silliman
