At least, that's a fact, that John A. Chase, Jr., dean of ad ministration pointed out today. Mr. Chase announces that there has already been some in quiry about the coming Christ mas holidays. So he points out their beginning and closing dates for any student who likes to count the days. Christmas holidays will begin Monday, Dec. 22 at 8 a. m., and will close on Monday, Jan. 5, at 8 a. m., on which date classes will resume. Fact not pointed out by Mr. Chase's proclamation was that the late return date at the end of the holidays (Jan. 5) will allow New Year's eve students plenty of time to wash laundry, namely three sheets in the wind, and clear out gill passages. Mind at ease, the University of South Carolina student body can now settle back to wait in peace for Christmas. ...Aided by mechanical Jingle Bells. >hns Hopkins Honor Diplomatic History icon Affairs Authority ure Series Next Spring IReIi( iasis Week M**.
