Senate Kills
For ThanksgiviN
By SARALEE ORTON
The UniveiSity Senate
quickly killed the last hope for
an extended Thanksgiving re
cess' this year by adjourning
immediately after the stu
dents' request was presented
at. the meeting yesterday.
Harvey Klein, • student member
of the Senate Committee on
Calendar and Class Schedule, and
Dennis Foianini, president of the
Student Government Association
presented the request.
When Foianini sat down, Har
old K. Schilling, dean of the Grad
uate School, •moved for adjourn
rnent. His motion was immediately
seconded and approved by the
Senate. There was no motion or
discussion of - the holiday.
"The tradition of Thanksgiv
ing cannot be eliminated by an
agreement that we postpone the
holiday and give thanks at the
convenience of the Pennsyl
vania 'State University." Klein
said. in recommending that the
Senate take some action on the
request.
Klein asked for a longer holi
day "for the good of the families
in the Commonwealth."
Foianini pointed - out that the
Thanksgiving holiday had aroused

the state.
Afternoon temperatures will re

dents have signed petitions, writ
ten letters 'and spoken from time
to time in favor of an extended
vacation, he said. "It is a question
of how much of a price we can
pay for having an efficient tent."
Earlier in the meeting, Harold
J. Read, chairman of the calen
dar committee, had informed
the Senate that his committee
had rejected the students' pro
posal on the grounds that stu
dents had not brought up any
items which had not been con- .
sidered when the calendar pol
icy. was formulated.
He also said that the policy had
not yet been in effect a year and
should be tried for a longer period
of time before any changes are
made.
Student members of Senate
committees are able only to
request action, and depend on
faculty or administration men/-

approved without discussion a

Snow flurries and gusty winds
should accompany the influx of
colder air, and several inches of
snow may accumulate in the

area.
The change to colder weather
began last Saturday, but the cool
ing process has been relatively
slow because of hurricane Jenny's
blocking effects. Since Jenny has
begun to accelerate, colder weath

area.
