The last football half-holiday was in 1955.
Student government attempted to obtain a half
holiday last year but was turned down by the
administration. No attempt was made this year.
Planning the University calendar is a very
complicated job. The University Senate' has a
Calendar Committee which has been headed by
Dr. Roger R. Saylor, professor of business sta
tistics.
There is just so much time In the school year

"Hindsight is easier than foresight" is an ex

We believe more than two or three campus
patrolmen would have been on duty to guard
the more than 1500 students; borough police
men might also have been on the field, not
confined merely to directing traffic.
We also believe the hat societies would have
been out m full force to protect the safety of
their fellow students.
But if Thursday night's accident was the re.
suit of a lack of foresight, it represented an at
least equal lack of hindsight.

Informality to Stay
All-University Cabinet Thursday night de
feated a recommendation that Student Encamp
ment be cut hale a day.
Under th e recommendation Encampment
would run from Wednesday afternoon to Friday
afternoon. [woad of noon Saturday.
There can be no doubt that Encampment
could be streamlined and shortened, but this
would take away some of the informality of the
annual retreat.
We have been to three Student Encampments

Cabinet acted wisely in refusing to strip some
of the informality from Student Encampment.

policy on community living for its residence
hails to be constructed up to 1962.
And because much time and money is needed
to plan future residence halls, any policy on
community living for living units to be opened
for the fall of 1962 must be made within the
next six or eight months, as President Eric A.
Walker said.
Therefore. student government must, in the
line of community living, be thinking in terms
of 1962.
Walker hinted at Student Encampment this
year that the University may be on a year
round calendar system by 1962. This, therefore.
means a new University calendar.
Does it not also seem logical that student
government should begin working now for a
football half-holiday, or maybe floating half.
holidays, under the year-round system?
—The Editor
with the number of students precariously dang
ling frrdn the goal post, more serious injuries
might have been expected.
Moving . the Tug-of-War from Burrowes Road
to the soft turf of the practice field undoubtedly
mitigated one danger, but it aggravated another
by giving the students more room to run off
•
with the rope.
We are not advocating dropping the Tug-of-
War, which provides a spirited finish to the
second-week lag the Customs program experi
ences annually. To do so would be to sacrifice
the best "shot-in-the-arm" the faltering Cus
toms period has received in years.
We can only hope next year - members of the
Customs Board and hat societies, as well as the
appropriate administrative officials, will have
learned much from this year's fiasco. They will
have had two years valuable experience.
Then there will be no excuse for a lack of
safety precautions when the freshmen let off
steam.
We would not venture to fix the blame for
Thursday night's accident.
But it is worthwhile to repeat the comment
of one batman on the scene:
