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

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.

been beseiged by "a campaign of vilification" by those seek
ing to remove him from public life and it is clear these
efforts 'have been intended to destroy me and in so doing to
embarrass the administration and the President of the United
Adams announced his decision

"final and unqualified. It is not
open to reconsideration."

R. 1., yesterday morning for a
surprise conference with Eisen
hower at the latter's vacation
headquarters, then hurried back
to Washington and 'completed
arrangements for the broadcast.
Eisenhower accepted the resig
nation "with sadness."
Back of the resignation is the
disclosure last June that Adams
accepted costly gifts and favors
from wealthy Boston industrialist,
Bernard Goldfine while Goldfine
was in difficulty with two fed
eral agencies.
Adams acknowledged accepting
the favors, but said he got no
favored treatment - for Goldfine
from any federal agency.
Adams said he had tendered
the resignation in yesterday's
conference with Eisenhower at
Newport and the President had
accepted it, tobecome effective
as soon as an orderly transition
can be arranged for the trans
fer of his duties and responsi
bilities.
Presidential Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty passed out
'copies of the Adams speech to

That so-called breather

Nebraska surprised Penn
State's veteran-laden grid out

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

Nebraska, which had six sopho

But the fired-up Huskies sur
