Proposals
Submitted
Council Asks
Long Vacation
Proposals for next year's
Christmas holidays are already
under way. Student council- has
submitted a request to Dean of
Administration William H. Pat
terson concerning the dates for
the vacation.
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.

Coeds Protest
Restrictions
For 'After 11'
A petition from coeds protest
ing a regulation that imposes a
two week's restriction on women
outside their rooms after 11 p.m.
in women's freshman dormitory
was sent Wednesday to Student
Body president David White. The
petition was signed by more than
100 residents of the dormitory.
The petition stated that the re
striction was excessive and asked
that no penalty be enforced. The
petitioners also asked that an
other rule imposing a two week's
restriction on women using the
telephone after 11 p.m. be changed
to one week or to a token penalty.
The petition and a letter from
White suggesting that the regula
tion be rescinded was sent to Dean
of Women Arney R. Childs Thurs
day. White also appointed a com
mittee to discuss the matter with
Dean Childs the first of next week.
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."
Council Praises
Hungarian Rebels
The Hungarian situation was
subject of a recent letter to South
Carolina solons from the Univer
sity student council.
Council expressed the idea that
college students are appalled at
Russian atrocities in Hungary.
They further stated that colleges
and universities are the greatest
wellsprings of democratic idealism
in the world, and that Hungarian
students displayed courage, ma
turity and conviction in instigat
ing and organizing the recent re
bellion in that country.
They also expressed the hope~
that the government here will tak e
strong action concerning the re
ported wholesale deportation. from
Hungary to Russian concentration
camps, and upon the question of;
relief for refugees.

USC Extension
Division Head
To Retire Jan. 1
W. H. Ward, director of the
Extension Division since Septem
ber, 1937, is retiring Jan. 1, ac
cording to President Donald Rus

Active in public education in
South Carolina for half a century,
Ward has for nearly 20 years been
instrumental in fostering adult

that the division has grown from
a small beginning to what it is
today, a force in raising South
Carolina educational levels.
"Ward's contribution through
the Extension Division," President
Russell declared, "has indeed been
great, and his influence will be
missed. It is due to his concen
trated work that the division has
developed into a major part of
the University, and into an arm
whereby the University reaches
into every corner of the entire
state to help the citizens."
A native of Tigerville, Ward at
tended county schools and Furman
University, from which he re
ceived the A. B. degree in 1913.
He has attended summer sessions
at Winthrop, the University of
North Carolina, the University of
South Carolina and Columbia Uni
versity.
He began teaching in 1906. From
1920 to 1923 he taught at Greer,
and from 1924 to 1937 at Walter
boro. He has also taught in sum
muer school at Furman and the
University.

and small-town schools, Ward was
