Group Again Seeks
New World Calendar
Unless you're different ..from most persons, you are having a
difficult time remembering to write 1953 instead of 1952. This Is
probably the smallest difficulty with. our present calendar, or so
says the World Calendar Association.
This group, as it always does at this tirne, has presented a rec
ommendation that the world adopt a new and more satisfactory
•
calendar. Action on a similar proposal, of a new world calendar by the
United Nations was prevented in 1949. when voting resulted in a tie.
The , riext proposed date' for
adoption is. Sunday, Jan. 1, 1956.
On • that :day, the regular and
Proposed calendars will coincide.
If, this calendar were adopted,
every year would be the same;
without exception. The year would
be divided into four equal parts
of. 91 days each. Each month
would have 26 days plus Sundays.
Each quarter division would be
gin on Sunday and end on Sat
urday: -
Plans Set
For RILW
'Firesides'
As part of Religion-in-Life
Wee k, after-dinner. "firesides"
will be conducted in women's dor
mitories whenever the presence
of 25 students is guaranteed, Irene
Taylor, co-chairman of the wom
en's firesides division of RILW,
told Women's Student 'Govern
ment House of Representatives
last night.
At least one speaker will be
provided for each dormitory, Miss
Taylor said, to meet with stu
dents who wish to participate
in the program. RILW will -be
held during the week of Feb.
15-22.
Groups of 25 students may rec
ommend discussion topics, and
request speakers of particular
faiths. Ministers, priest s, and
rabbis, as well as laymen of all
faiths will be among the avail
able speakers.
A cabinet- suggestion recom
mending that campus groups can
cel meetings during .the week is
hoped to encourage wider partici
pation in RILW activities, Miss
Taylor added.
Genevieve Castrodale t chair
man of the clothing drive now
being sponsored by WSGA, said
individual solicitations for dis
carded clothing will be made in
the women's dormitories by floor
chairmen or other representatives.

By CHUCK 9BBRTANCE
Leap Year Day June 31
The year would begin Jan. 1
and each working, year on Jan.
2.. -The calendar., would be bal
anced by ending the year with S.
365th day following Dec. 30. This
would be . called World's Day and
would be 'a holiday for the entire
world: •
Leap"-Year Day would also be
added at the end of the second.
quarter every four years. Leap
year Day or June 31 would be
another world holiday.
Under the proposed calendar,
most national holidays in the
United States could be set to , fall
on Saturdays and Mondays. Wash
ington's birthday, says the asso
ciation, now falling on F.eb. 22,
could be moved to Saturday, Feb.
11, the original day of his birthl
Lincoln's birthday, Feb. 12, could
be observed on Monday, the 13th.
Days Coincide with Dates
Easter Sunday would fall on
April 8 each year. Other changes
would be moving Memorial Day
from May 30 to May 27; Inde
pendence Day from July ' 4 to
Monday,.. July 2; Labor Day to
Monday, Sept. 4; Columbus Day
to Oct. 9; Election Day to Tues
day, Nov. 7;- Thanksgiving Day
to Thursday, Nov. 23; and Christ
mas to Monday, Dec 25.
The greatest advantage of this
calendar, the group points out,
would be that days of the week
' would coincide with the. dates of
' every year instead of rotating as
they now do. This means that
July 4 woud fall on Monday each
year, July 5 on a Tuesday, and
so on down the line.
Devising this plan probably
kept a few persons busy for
some time. And before resolving
to adopt or to reject . the plan,
many more persons will worry
about the new World Calendar.
What with H-bombs, Korea, the
draft, and ad infinitum, this could
be a pleasant worry.
