The following letter was sent to Patterson by student body presi dent David White: "I believe you suggested as pos sibilities for next year's Christ mas holidays from Saturday, Dec. 21 (after classes) until a.m. Mon dty, Jan. 6, and from a.m. Fri day, Dec. 20 until 8 a.m. Friday, Jan. 8. "By unanimous vote in its last meeting, Student Council ex pressed the following opinion: "That neither of the alterna tives provides what is urgently needed by the students in the way of pre-Christmas holidays; "That Christmas holidays should extend next year from 8 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 18 until 8 a.m. Friday, Jan. 3; and "That the two extra days thus provided should be gained by open ing school two days earlier in Sep tember." We believe that whatever incon venience may be involved in this suggestion can be satisfactorily worked out, and we are confident that this opinion may be consid ered as representative of the great majority of our students.

Appointed to the committee were: Jo Anne Franklin, secretary of Student Council, as chairman; Bunky Joye, president of the freshman class; Beverly Jones, secretary of the freshman class and Pat Anderson and Sara Smoak, both freshman ~women. White attacked the first regu lation saying, "I believe the Uni versity should be a place which encourages independent thought and action and I believe that this regulation is excessive and perni cious to that aim."
