The Committee on Educational Policy is expected to decide today on its recommendation to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences concerning the Student Council's proposal to lengthen the midterm recess.
The Council's plan would lengthen the break between terms by at least three days, the extra day being taken from the spring term reading period. The CEP is expected either to support the calendar revision without modification or to advise its outright defeat.
The entire faculty will vote on the revision at its next meeting, early next month.
In submitting the Council's schedule change to the CEP, president Edward M.

His statement was in effect a reply to the faculty's opinion that a vacation should not be arranged at the expense of working days.
