The council vetoed the first proposal by students that holi days begin Dec. 19 rather than Dec. 21. Student council voted in regular meeting Monday to send the second letter. A meeting of president's council, scheduled for Wednesday, was postponed due to a meeting of the Southern Association of Col leges and Secondary Schools in Dallas, Texas, which several mem bers of council are attending. No action has been taken on the last letter. President Donald Russell said he thought there would be no change in council's attitude, con cerning the renewed proposal. They do not feel that the re scheduling of dates is possible, he said. The recent letter, submitted by Student Body President David White for student council, reads: To: President Russell and the president's Council of the Uni versity of South Carolina Dear President Russell: The Student Council believes that its proposal for an extension of Christmas holidays raises the following questions: 1. Whether the administration of the University is disposed to grant a clear wish of the over whelming majority of the students when that request suggests no damage to the academic program of the University? 2. Whether the extension of Christmas holidays to include Wednesday and Thursday, Decem ber 19 and 20 would in fact signif icantly impair the program of the University ? 3. Whether the Student Govern ment of the University is to be regarded as capable of accurately estimating the will of the student body of the University? We believe that the administra tion of the University is desirous of providing for the needs and wishes of the students where these do not unnecessarily conflict with the best interest of the Univer sity's academic program. We believe that our proposal for an extension of the pre Christmas holidays would pose no significant damage to the aca demic program of the University. We are confident that our pro posal represents the clear wish of an overwhelming majority of the students of the University, scattered expressions to the con trary and the statement of a past President of the Student Body notwithstanding. We believe that estimating the wvishes of the stu dent body is our peculiar respon sibility and that our statements must be considered as the best obtainable In that regard. We appreciate the fact that a representative of the Student Body was consulted In the forma tion of this year's University calender. However, we feel that, as this incidlent Illustrates, rep resentatives of the studlent body affected might have been more usefully considered. Accordingly, we appeal to the President of the University and to the President's Council to re consider the question of extending pre-Christmas holidays. Respectfully submitted, The Student Council of the University Spring Room Fees Not Due Early, Dean Penney Says Student room fees will not have to be paid early this semester, according to Dean of Men J.

In regards to this area, he stated: "We plan in the next six to 12 months to con struct a new undergraduate li brary. This area is now under study by the University's consult ing landscape architects. At its last regular meeting, the association agreed to send the resolution to the administration. The resolution stated that many students find that persons some times block more than one parking space, thus causing much delay and inconvenience. Thei resolution went on to state that the veterans "implore that such action as may be deemed necessary to relieve this (parking) problem be taken." Dean Patterson concluded his letter: "It is my belief that the long term solution to our parking problem will no doubt be found south of Blossom Street and per haps some of the negotiations now under way will develop in the not too far distant future" legates C onf Phillip P.
