execution. It will continue debate
on the Syrian-Isfaeli dispute Fri
day.
The Israel move came shortly
after the UN truce supervisor in
Palestine, Maj. Gen. Vagn Ben

serious trouble was ahead in Pal

A recommendation that the
Senate disciplinary committee
warn in advance that student
misconduct will not be toler
ated in Pittsburgh was in
cluded in confirmation of the
Pitt football holiday by the
Council of Administration.
The group, in action taken yes
terday, also suggested that the
disciplinary committee take se
vere steps against students guilty
of property damage or misconduct
at the Penn State-Penn game.
They said lists of guests should
be obtained from Pittsburgh ho
tels to enable College officials to
identify students there.
The ruling confirms the choice
of Nov. 21 as the half holiday pro
vided for in the current calendar.
The 'recommendation of the date
was made by All-College Cabinet.
Condemn Misconduct
This year's holiday Will be the
last in the foreseeable future, ac
cording to the calendars released
for the next two college years.
The half-day recess was elimi
"ated with the scheduling of more
7 aturday classes.
The action of the council also
included:
(1) Strong condemnation of the
behavior of a minority of students
who were guilty of misconduct
and who caused property damage
in one or more Philadelphia ho
tels following the Penn State-
Penn football game.
(2) Recommendation that the
disciplinary committee deal se
verely with those who are proved
to have been involved in property
damage or were guilty of gross
misconduct.
Discredit College
(3) Recommendation that the
director of student affairs accept
the offer of the Pittsburgh Hotel
Association to provide list s of
hotel guests for the Nov. 21 week
end so that the College may, if
there is rowdyism or property
damage following the Penn State-
Pitt game, quickly identify the
students, if any, who are involved.
(4) Suggestion that the disci
plinary committee warn students
in advance that those who are
guilty of misconduct prejudicial
to the College will be disciplined
as severely as if the incidents had
occurred on campus.
Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director
of student affairs, in speaking for
the group said they believed that
