Student Council's Letter.
The following is the letter writ
ten by the Student Council to Chan
cellor Avery:
"To the Chancellor: Th Student
Council finds what it belietes to be
a serious discrepancy in the number
of days for this year's Christmas va
cation and desires to direct yovr at
tention to the case with a view to
an explanation of the matter.
"Over a year ago the student body
was called upon to vote upon a prop
osition as between vacations al
located first, with three days at
Thanksgiving, six days at Christmas,
including two Sundays, and three
days at Easter; or second, with one(
day at Thanksgiving, eight days at
Christmas including twe Sundays,
and three days at Easter.
"The latter proposal was adopted
and is supposed to be in force this
year. We find, however, that the
vacation given for this Christmas in
cludes two Sundays, two legal holi
days and only six school days. Ac
cording to the proposition presented
it would seem that the students were
clearly entitled to an additional two
school days for this vacation. Such
would only be within the terms of
the proposition as stated to the stu
dents at the time the vote was called
for.
"We believe that when the above
mentioned vote was called for it was
stated that without fewer days of
vacation Nebraska credits would be
given a less value at other schools,
particularly eastern schools. In re
ply to our inquiries directed to the
registrars at Cornell, Yale and
Princeton universities we find that
little difference if any is made ac
cording to the number of school days
but more according to the work cov
ered and included within our courses
in comparison with their own.
"The council investigating commit
tee has also directed an inquiry
among other schools which rank high
with the Mississippi valley in regard
to this matter of vacations and at
taches their report hereto. The chart
shows a manifest discrimination
against Nebraska students in their
vacations.
"The council requests respectfully
that it may receive an explanation
of this apparent discrepancy, and
some action in view to the exten
sion of the present Christmas vaca
tion as within the proposal pre
sented to the students.
"THE STUDENT COUNCIL."
