Bott will introduce the pro posals at Thursday's Cabinet meeting If the Cabinet draws up a for mal request fok a half holiday, it would be submitted to the ad ministration, Bdtt said. The re quest in its formal form would probably be channeled back to the calendar committee for ac tion, he said. The holiday, could not be provided before the '59-'6O year since the present calendar has already been set up, Bott said. The half-holiday has been a long-sought privilege to be used for important away football games or similar events some dis tance from campus. One half holiday previously sought was Penn State-Penn football week ends. Bott and - Miss O'Neill sug gested to the Senate committee that one floating half-holiday be provided for each semester. They would be used "at the students' discretion," they suggested. , "Whore the half-holidays ' would .come from would have to be decided by the commit tee," Bolt said last night, "but I'm sure they could be pro vided." Another detail, that would have to be decided would be the meth od of selecting the date for the half-holiday. This would prob ably - be decided by Cabinet, or by a method determined by Cab inet, Bott said. In their second request, Miss O'Neill and Bott asked that more time be given between the last semester class and finals. As - it stands pow, the last class of the semester ends at 11:50 a.m. and - finals begin at 1 p.m. of the same day. Prexy to Return From Vacation For Meeting President' Erie A.

The outcome was only one of a wave of upsets that shocked the nation's pigskin followers over the weekend. But to the 25,000 partisan Cornhusker fans crowd ed into Lincoln Memorial Sta dium it was the only one that really mattered.
