Yule Holiday
Extension
Town Independent Men last
night joined the growing number
of student government organiza
tions favoring extension of the
Christmas holidays.
The organization adopted unan
imously a resolution for a three
day extension of the period. At
least three other groups have
voted in favor of the extending
of the .holiday.
Specific Dales Asked
TIM advanced one step fur
ther in the resolution by stating
specific dates for the lengthen
ing. The group specified that
classes end at 11:50 a.m. Dec. 20,
and resume at 1:10 p.m. Jan. 3.
Frank Wempa, TIM treasurer,
introduced the . resolution. He
supported . his stand by saying
that many students obtain pre-
Christmas jobs.
If the holiday would not begin
until noon December 22, as fixed
by the University, this would
prohibit many students-from ob
taining jobs, he said.
Driving Dangers Cited-
Another argument in favor- of
the resolution was .that students
■would be forced to return to cam
pus New Year’s Day or early
Jan. 2. ,
Wempa said that the University
discourages student driving when
conditions are. dangerous and he
considered New Year’s Day an
example.
Sororities Start

Anne Elder-Sally Laughlin mem

Eakin Eisenhower Memorial
Chapel.
Barbara Nicholls, Panhel presi
dent, announced that confusion
over the colonization rule has re
sulted m Trion, affiliate of Sig
ma Kappa sorority, being illegally
admitted to the council last
spring.
Trion was accepted as a non
voting member three months after
being organized. The present rule
requires a nine month waiting
period.
It was recommended by the
council that a new rule be in
serted into the constitution which
is now being rewritten. What the
amendment would include has not
been decided.

Pipe-Smoking
Frosh Coeds
Startle Males
By PAM CHAMBERLAIN
The lineup of assorted males
which nightly greets Thompson
coeds after supper almost col
lapsed Tuesday night.
The fellows were on hand with
the usual comments and wolf
whistles, but four freshman girls
had their number.
Puffing merrily away on pipes
purchased especially for the oc
casion. Bonnie Baldwin. Sarah
Wilt. Susan Targer. and • Grei
chen Leffler walked right by
with nary a holdup.
Several onlookers were seen
rolling on the sidewalks holding
their sides, and the air was filled
with exclamations of horror, de
light, and pure disbelief.
The coeds were actually
smoking, though they confess
to having practiced the night
before.
As the girls put it, they just
did it for laughs.
But as one of the crowd gasped
between whoops of laughter, they
managed to “fake out” even the
stalwart wolves of West Dorms.
The moral to this little tale is,
of course: “N ever underesti
mate the power of a woman."

Gomulka. A great cheer went up
when he declared. “It depen-J.'
only upon us how long Soviet
troops may remain here.”
But his further statement that
they would stay as long as the
West has military installations in
West Germany was accepted in
silence.
Attacks Anti-Soviets
. .Gomuika bluntly attacked “anti-
Soviet sentiment” manifested in
demonstrations in several Polish
cities Monday night when Russian
flags were trampled. He said the
authorities would tolerate’no ac
tion against the Polish state. But
despite Jus.earnest appeal’for an
end to mass meetings and demon
strations, a group of at least 1,500
students paraded from the Uni
versity of Warsaw soon after, cry
ing, “Rokossovsky go home.”

Cabinet Will Vote
On Court Tonight
All-University Cabinet will take the second of three re
quired consecutive votes at 7 tonight on the elimination of
the Supreme Court.
Final decision will also be made tonight as to whether
or not the University should give a $l2BO scholarship to a
foreign student leader.
To abolish the Supreme Court,
three Cabinet members will have
to change their vote between now
and next Thursday. Last week
the elimination was supported
by a 13-11 vote, however, a two
thirds majority is necessary be
fore it is officially passed.
3 Groups Change Vote
Since last week’s vote, Educa
tion Student Council, and Panhel
lenic Council have supported
Court retention and Leonides, re
versing its previous decision, is
now against it. It remains to be
seen whether this will affect the
three Cabinet member’s votes.
Elimination of the Court is
favored by All-University offi
cers Robert Bahrenburg, presi
jdent; William Clark, vice presi
dent; and Leonard Richards, sec
retary-treasurer.
Proposed Abolition Amendment
The Court abolition was pre
sented last week as an amend
ment to the All-University Con
stitution. If, at the showdown
vote next week, the amendment
is passed, it will be added as a
revision to the constitution.
Should Cabinet defeat the amend
|ment, a substitute motion stating
[retention of the court will be in-
I eluded in its place.
I The foreign- student-leader
scholarship was proposed two
weeks ago by Barbara Hendel in
participation with the National
Student Association program.. To
bring one-of 15 foreign student
leaders to the University, a schol
arship of $5BO would be offered
by the administration and an ad
ditional $7OO bv Cabinet.
Purpose Is Idea Exchange
The purpose of the program.
Miss Hendel said, is to exchange
ideas by working with' the stu
dent in activities and University
government.
Cabinet will also hear tonight
recommendations from three Sep
tember Student Encampment re
ports—-“ Social, Cultural and Rec
reational,” “Academic Policies”
and “Counseling.”
Dr, Albert Christ-Janer, direc
tor. of the School of the Arts, will
present the report on cultural as
pects. Included in it are recom
mendations to improve the acous
tics of Recreation Hall by adding
batten-board construction, and to
increase student fees- for future
cultural programs at the Univer
sity.

sky, a Polish-born former Soviet
marshal, remains defense minis
ter. Sent here by Stalin in 1949,
he has been a symbol of Moscow
domination.
Promises to Remove Troops
Gomulka said Soviet party chief
Nikita Khrushchev had promised
that Soviet troops, which had
seemed to be threatening Warsaw,
would be back at their bases in
48 hours.
He said Khrushchev had agreed
that control of Polish affairs
would remain in Poland and be
decided by the Polish government
and r.o one else. But, said Gomul
ka, “We want wholehearted
friendship with the Soviet Union
and I can assure you that, so far
as this is concerned, there is no
difference between the opinion
,of the Polish Communist party
and-the Soviet Union’s Commu-
Inist party.”
