will be alternates being used only if needed working for new year's vacation developing a plan for dispens ing with classes on new year's day to the satisfaction of both the student body and the administra tion is now a problem of arca dia their first step toward action was to appoint a committee com posed of chuck norlin john stockbridge bill williams and tom buck to formulate a plan whereby it will be possible to have new year's day off without entailing loss of class hours this committee has appealed to the student body for plans which the students think are feasible and which would be accepted by the administration thus far two general plans have been conceived one that is to the advantage of the student body in that they have two extra days off but which will no doubt meet with disfavor in the administration and the other a modified plan for the vacation to be in two parts with no loss of class hours schedule induces cuts the present schedule is to have thanksgiving day nov 26 off and christmas vacation from saturday dec 10 12 noon to monday dec 28 8:10 a m this schedule will no doubt induce cutting classes on the two days friday and satur day following thanksgiving and also on new year's day petitions are being circulated among the living groups to find out the student body opinion of the two plans which have so far been conceived the first plan climates thanksgiving day as a holiday and proposes the christmas vaca tion to extend from wednesday dec 23 4 p m to monday jan 4 8:10 a m the second plan proposes that new year's day classes of jan 2 be held on saturday afternoon dec 19 with the vacation in two portions 1 from saturday dec 19 4 p m to monday dec 28 8:15 a m and 2 from thursday dec 31 4 p m to monday jan 4 8:10 a m expect 415 fathers the

dispensary for 75 cents war shortages are slowly getting a firm hold on the american peo ple and lehigh students are affected directly and indirectly by many of them the shortage of metals is well known already maybe you had bet ter look again for some more scrap however there are shortages which have not been highly publicized and a knowledge of these may help in conserving the critical materials john h schumacher purchasing agent for the chemistry depart ment predicts that the rationing of all laboratory glass is highly probable schumacher explains this by the fact that recent gov ernment contracts are at the pres ent time depleting the stock piles of the glassblowing industry formerly the united states im ported glassblowing products from germany france and czechoslo vakia and these sources of supply are naturally no longer accessible in addition much young skilled labor has been withdrawn from the industry by selective service rationing according to schumach er is the only answer to the im pending shortage another shortage is of some importance to very lehigh stu dent it is the shortage of soda bottle caps at the present time 20 percent of the bottle-caps used by the coca-cola company are stamped out of old tin cans which the drivers collect from living groups paying for them at the rate of five cans for a penny this is in order not to violate ceiling prices on scrap metal according to one of the drivers most of the lehigh living groups have received an adequate coke supply for houseparty only be cause of their cooperation in turn ing in the tin bethlehem pa
