Do We Need A New Calendar?
Since man first notched a stick, the calendar has caused
problems. It has lead to riots and to dissatisfactions that have
caused cleavages in nations.
Our own present calendar Is misleading and inaccurate.
This chart, from Compton’s Pictured Encyclopedia, shows the
problems that are encountered in determining a data based on
either the Julian or the Gregorian Calendar.
The basic problem is that our year actually is 865 days, 6
hours, 9 minutes, 9.5. seconds long. Thus, no calendar to date
has given a true measure of our year. ^

Group Plans
Homecoming
In accordance with the idea of in-
volving students in Homecoming,
repiesentatives from several groups,
including the Senate, Student Union
Directorate, Men’s Interfratemity
Council, Women's Panhellenic,
Woman’s Advisory, Bhre Key, and
Cardinal Key were recently asked
to meet with Mr. Blanton and Mrs.
Campbell to discuss tentative plans
for the event.
In response to the invitation Ka-
ren McDonald (Women’s Panhelleti-
ic), Betty Hardt (Student Union
Directorate), Skipper Shaw (Student
U n to n Directorate >, Jim
Smith (Men’s Interfraternity Coun-
cil), and Karen Busby (Women’s
Advisory and Cardinal Key), met
and discussed several possibilities
for homecoming.
Among the possibilities discussed
were: a Homecoming Cabbira dance
on Saturday ndgftt; the election of a
“coming - home” queen, selected
from alumna, and a homecoming
queen; two lectures, one on “Lord
of the Flies” and another on a sci-
entific novel; and a buffet break-
fast followed by Chapel Sunday
morning.
Each of these events would involve
participation of students as well as
alumna.
Plans are still tentative and stu-
dents are urged to express their
suggestions to those representatives
involved in planning this event, in
order to make this the most enjoy-
able homecoming yet?
