CUT SYSTEM At a faculty meeting on Monday night Mr. Goss requested discussion and action on the problem of studelt attendance in class. The future policy concerning class attendance is set forth in the follow ing rules authorized by Mr. Goss. These rules supplement those found in the "Regulations for Undergradu ate Students" manual. Class Attendance 1. A student is allowed one cut per credit per semester with the stip ulation that no cuts are allowed in laboratory periods. (A cut is defined as an ablence, excused or not.) Absence 2. A student who has overcut ' cause of illness must obtain writ' en permission from the nurse in order to reenter class. 3. In case the• excuse for the overcut is for any reason other than illness the student• must obtain writ ten permission to reenter class from Mr. Kostos. Make=up Work 4. A zero will be given to a stu dent who cuts a bluebook without ex cuse. 5. Excused absence from a blue book and the making up of any class work for excused absence is left to the discretion of the instructor. It is noted, however, that a student is re sponsible for any work covered in the class whether the absence is excused or not. In accordance with these steps the faculty were also reminded of several other rules. In the future no grades are to be given to the students 'by instructors since the student receives them in the snail within two days. Quarterly grades are to be handled through students' advisers. It has also been necessary to re mind students that they are required to take bluebooks in ink and are to hand in written work done „in ink on standard 8 1 / 2 xl.l paper.
