Half-holiday: By Student Referendum
The Elections Committee has come up with a
suggestion that would help avoid a lot of last
minute planning for the administration and All-
University Cabinet.
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

Will Ike Run?
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.

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.
