Football Holiday: Unfortunate Foul-Up
All-College Cabinet Thursday night finally
recommended the Pitt weekend for this year's
football holiday. Cabinet's recommendation
must be approved by the Council of Adminis
tration before it may go into effect.
This year's foul-up over the football holiday
is most unfortunate. Members of the adminis
tration and All-College Cabinet itself are
mainly to blame for the situation. Both were
wrong in thinking the football weekend war
not provided for this year, and both were ai
fault in not making sure they were right.
The College Senate committee on calendar
last year eliminated the football holiday from
the College calendar. The elimination does not
go into effect until next academic year. As a
'esult, everyone overlooked the- possibility of a
-ioliday this year.

The principle which might be followed in
any -state can be found in the state's constitu

under the heading "Declaration of Rights" says:
"That the liberty of the press ought to be
inviolably preserved; that every citizen of the
State ought to be allowed to speak, write and
publish his sentiments . on all subjects, being
responsible for the abuse of the privilege."
Apparently they ought to be, but they're not.

mended it for the Penn game weekend. As it is,
fewer students will take advantage of the
holiday.
There are many misconceptions concerning
he holiday. Some students think it should be
.aken during a home football game, or just
.)efore or after a vacation, or next semester
- .vhen more Saturday classes will be scheduled.
:Chen, they reason, most students will benefit.
Purpose of football holiday is to allow stu

Penn weekend would have been the ideal
time for the holiday. Someone has said there's
no use crying over spilled milk. But if adminis

closely concentrating on their duties, the milk
would never have been spilled.

U.S. Act May Aid
Arab-Israeli Peace
By happy circumstance the United States has just launched .0.4
new move toward a peaceful settlement of the Arab-Israeli- dispute
(just when the latest outbreak occurred on the Jordan border.
The fact that he was already on the way, instead of having been
dispatched in the midst of a particularly nasty mess, may give Eric
Johnston's arrival in the Middle
East, as President Eisenhower's
ambassador, a meaning among
the contestants which otherwise
might have been lost.
Britain, acting in her traditional
role of protector of the Arabs, a
role which became pretty .shaky
when Israel was established with
American blessing and British
consent, has protested bitterly to
the Israel government over the
shooting up, of Jordan villages
with heavy casualties. The shoot
ing apparently was in retaliation
for an earlier and much smaller
border incident which the Israelis
accuse the Arabs of starting.
Britain is particularly con
cerned because the Jordan de
fense force is virtually a British
subsidiary, being largely Brit
ish - financed and commanded
by a Britisher.
In Washington the state depart
ment was reported ready to fol
low up with a protest of its.own.
Observers were quick to point
out, however,. that with Johnston
on the way, discretion •might be
the better part of valor for the
moment.
Nothing practical is to be gained
by a protest. It probably would
serve, on the other hand, to cre
ate tension between • the United
States and _lsrael just at a time
when the President is trying to
work out some practical plans
for a settlement.
Johnston is not going primar
ily as a mediator attempting to
get Israel and the Arab states
to -compromise their differences
and turn their uneasy truce. into.
peace. He has no blueprints for
peace. His role is to investigate
practical problems, such as
water developments, in which
the United States might help
both parties.
One source of constant irrita
tion in the area is the lack of
means for supporting hundreds of
thousands of Arab - refugees from
Israel who migrated to the Arab
states. The United States.has con

now seeks to promote permanent
self-support. Irrigation and pow

Associated Press News Analyst
Valerian Bakradze has had it.
He chose the wrong friends.
When Bakradze was named
Premier of the Soviet Republic'
of Georgia he made it known that -
he liked Lavrenti Pavlovich Beria, -
Iwho himself was in the graces of) .
thte hierarchy in Moscow.
In his firit speech he professed
himself a disciple of "the best son
.f, Georgia, talented disciple of
Lenin, comrade in arms of Stalin
and outstanding figure of th e
Communist party and the great
Soviet' state, Lavrenti Pavlovich
Beria."
Then Beria was purged. Bakra
dze found himself on a limb.
He .tried mightily to get off. i
Just to that he was in
complete accord with Moscow,
he threw a little purge of his
own. Two members of his cabi
net went.
Moscow wasn't satisfied. Obvi-:
ously the reasoning ran: If Beria
is no longer a friend of the state,
a friend of Beria is not a friend
of the state.
-Bakradze, feeling, no doubt,
friendless, tried again. •
He accused. Beria of "appOint-'
irig 'his friends and followers _to
high places in the Georgian Re
public." Doubt exists whether he
was talking about himself. '
Then, at _ a meeting approving
Beria's removal, he led the way
in denouncing Beria as a "con
temptible traitor and hireling of
imperialism."
The-Kremlin still wasn't buy
ing: •
Despite Bakradze's efforts to
beria_ the hatchet, he found him
self dismissed last week. The an
nouncement said his work had
been .."unsatisfactory."
• But 'everybody admitted it
had been a nice try.
to •do something about the ftmda
mentarproblems through positive
action. These attempts .would not
be fostered •by an' exchange rof
recriminations right at the:. start.
