Wednesday Proposed Calendar Would Add An Extra Day To Year "'Year Day', an extra holiday, will be added to the calendar if there is in ternational acceptance of the proposed reformed world calendar," said Professor E. C. Coker in an address on the Uni versity of South Carolina hour over WIS Wednesday. This day will come between Saturday, December 30 and Sun day, January 1. The new calendar is planned so that the days of the month will always fall on the same week day. Thus, July 4 will always fall on Wednesday, Labor Day will be fixed at September 4, and Thanksgiving on November 30. The University could begin and end on the same days each year. New Year's day will be on Sunday and since January 1, 1939 is a Sunday, advocates of the change are pointing out that this date would be ideal for putting the system into operation. This plan, which has been approved by the League of Nations and leading church and business organizations, divides the year into quarters. The first month of each quarter will contain 31 days, the two following months 30 days each. The extra day at the end of the year will automatically become a holiday. -U.s.o Coin Collection Given Museum By Emmet Kilpatrick Collection Includes Various Coins Of Caesar And Napoleon A collection of 165 rare and ancient coins has been presented the University museum by Dr. Emmet Kilpatrick of the Romance Languages department.
