It will recommend to Cabinet tonight that a referendum be held during the spring elec tions to allow students to select one football half-holiday if the administration establishes floating holidays. The recommendation stipu lated that Cabinet determine the choices of half-holidays to be offered. Upon request of Cabinet last semester the Council of Administration granted the Penn half-holiday, but the council was not in a posi tion to set a permanent floating holiday schedule. Of course it all hinges on the administration’s decision whether to allow such holidays at all, but if such a provision is agreed upon the Elec tions Committee’s recommendation would cer tainly facilitate the selection of the free day. For football seasons when the University plays both the Penn and Pitt games away students may be divided as to which one they'd rather attend, and a referendum in the preceding spring would give the majority what it-wanted Gazette...

And thus the reputation of all the students and the University suffers because a few still should wear short pants or braid their hair in pigtails. and leave little cause for criticism of the ad ministration or cabinet. Another good suggestion the elections com mittee will make in its report to cabinet to night is that no elected officer of one political party will be permitted to run for an office in any other political party for a period of not less than one year following his resignation. This would make an. unethical practice illegal. —Jackie Hudgins Safety Valve,..

Time Not Right To Make Decision By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst President Dwight D. Eisenhower would have some good political reasons for staying mum a while if he has decided not to run again. He has already indicated he reached some decision be cause he said his mind is not so fixed that he can’t change it. He’d probably anger a lot of Republicans if he said he won’t run now instead of waiting till mid-February when the doctors say whether they think he’s able to. They could say: “The party needs him but he made up his mind even before waiting for the doctors to tell him what shape he’s in.” Eisenhower could forestall that kind of complaint by wait ing until after the medical ver dict is in. He may do that, if he's not going to run. By the same token he could hardly say he will run until the doctors tell him and the coun try whether they think he's physically able to. If he has about decided not to try again he could, by waiting a while before saying so, get the maximum mileage out of his pro gram. But if he said now he won’t run again, attention for his programs almost certainly would get lost sight of in the hub-hub over his announcement. By mid-February, when Eisen hower gels his doctors* word on his physical condition, all the major parts of his program should be in Congress' hands. For at least that long—or as long as the Republicans still have some hope he'll head their ticket again—he can depend on their almost undivided support. If he says he won’t be a candi date, some members of his party in Congress may pull away from him. But it’s hard to see many of them doing that. And for a good reason: Eisen hower’s program and their sup port for it will have to be the main talking point of the Repub licans in this year’s election cam paign. Their chief hope of winning in 1956 is Eisenhower, whether or not he runs, and the claims they can make to supporting him and seeing eye to" eye with him on most things.

JANUARY 12. 1956 lectured past the bell again— Two Sheep Will Perform Act At Farm Show Old Nell and Scott will be the center of attraction tonight when they perform their routines at the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Har risburg. The pair are Border collies owned by Carroll S. Shaffner, superintendent of sheep at the University. The collies will put on a 20-minute act showing their prowess at controlling herds of sheep. The canines will perform a hurdle jumping routine, and dem onstrate how sheep are cut out of a herd. Shaffner imported both dogs from Scotland to assist him in taking care of the University sheep herds. Nell is ten' years old, and due to be retired soon, but Scott, only one year old, is “just a baby." Shaffner has put on exhibitions with the two sheep dogs all over the country. This is their first per formance at the farm show, how ever. Kappa Phi to Hold Dance Kappa Phi, National Metho dist Girls Club, is holding a square dance at 8 p.m. Friday in the Methodist gym.
