The council voted unan scheduled vacation which begins Dec. 22 and ends Jan. 2 be ex tended to one beginning Dec. 19 and ending Jan. 3. The council gave seven reasons for requesting the extension. The first was that if given a longer vacation students would have sufficient time to travel from the University. to their homes.

Unless the vacation is length ened, many graduate students will be unable to attend such meetings. • The council said that attend ance at such meetings affords "intellectual stimulation and oth er benefits essential to profes sional maturity."
