—University of Virginia stu
dents rioted Friday in protest
against a shortening of their
Thanksgiving recess from four
days to one day.
"The demonstration was a spon
taneous action of the students,"
Richard Sunderland, sophomore
at the University of Virginia said
in a telephone interview last
night. Sunderland, who described
himself as a spectator, received
nose abrasions during the dem
onstration.
He said that a formal protest

Student Referendum
Dennis Foianini, SGA president, should not submit a con
stitution to the joint Senate committee for further considera-

cided by a student referendu
chairman, said .yesterday.
"I don't believe that the three
students who proposed abolishing
parties last week before the joint
committee are truly representa
tive of student opinion," Sharp
said.
Last week Richard Pigossi, In
ter-Fraternity Council president;
George Henning, Men's Residence
Council president; and Robert
Fry, Town Independent Men
president, proposed that nomina
tions and elections for assembly
positions be carried out an the
local level without political par
ties.

assistant to the president for
student affairs, said yesterday.
the opinion of the three stu
dents cannot be ignored because
"they have been elected to rep
resent whole groups of students
and stand as spokesmen for
their groups."'
"These men stated, last week,
that they addressed the joint
committee as interested students
rather than representatives of
their respective organizations,"
Elliot Newman, University party
chairman, said.
"The lines are now dear be
tween those who will light to rep
resent the will of the students and
those who are interested in sacri
ficing ideals for their old self in
terest," Dennis Eisman, Campus
VartY chairman said yesterday.

to the president of the Univer

grounds that the calendar had
been made up a year in advance
and that changing it now would
upset the scheduled classes.
When contacted, Edgar I'. Shan
non Jr., president of the Univer

demonstration.
He said, however, that disci
plinary action at the University'
is recommended by the student
government for the approval or
change by the president. He would,
not predict what disciplinary ac-,
tion, if any, would be taken
against the rioters.

Eight persons were arrested and
three injured during the riot of
an estimated 750 demonstrators,
according to the Washington Post.
About 5,000 students attend the

ended when the police used tear
gas to disperse the demonstrators.
Sunderland said the demonstra

"It began about 11 p.m. on a

calm," he said. "At this time a
dog house was burned. However,
is was burned as a joke and the
dog house wasn't very valuable.

The delegates to the Organiza

SGA President Dennis Foianini's
attempt to get a three-day
Thanksgiving recess.

Dean Lipp Gives
Views on Vacation
Dean of Women, Dorothy J.
Lipp said yesterday, "I, too,
would like to be spending Thanks
giving with my family."
She went on to' explain, how
ever, that the world is changing,
and University students must be
mature enough to accept the fact
that some American traditions
have to go because of the pressure
of the times.
Dean Lipp also said that more
staff people Swill be affected by
the vacation plan than most stu
dents seem to realize. Very few of
the staff people have their '!roots"
here, she said, and they too would
like to.be going home.
Many students couldn't go home
anyway, Dean Lipp said, and the
Pennsylvania resident students
must prepare for not being able
to spend Thanksgiving at home.

MISS LINDA U!AM OF KAPPA DELTA
Can't heip , but wi.-nder what preparation the University
has made for air raid shelters for our 17,000 students.
Maybe Keeler:s basement!
Best parties of the weekend were Phi Mu and Delta
Gamma both, incidently, photographed in color.
Are you more alluring in the evening? We tend to think
you are. As part of an experiment and partly because
we have very few openings left for pre-Christmas sit
tings, appointments can now be had for evening sittings.
A portrait for Christmas! Could anything be more,

jority vote (9 for, 5 abstentions).
Responding to the grbup's pro
posal, Fisher wrote a letter to
President Erie .A. Walker yester
day, recommending the Thanks
giving recess.
In part the letter read. "The
members of OSGA strongly feel
that the 'disadvantages' of a
four-day recess are greatly out
weighed by the advantages of
having a break at this time in
the school term.
"OSGA has therefore requested
that I (Fisher, OSGA president)
ask you to recommend to the Uni
versity Senate tomorrow, the
granting of a four-day recess, to
inclUde Friday, November 24 and
Saturday, November 25."
The University Senate is sched
uled to make. , its decision on the
recess today. Foianini will appear
before the group' to make a final
;request for the recess.
