Top-Ranking Seniors
Get Break at NYU
High ranking senior students in the College of Arts and Science
at New York University are free to skip classes without penalty,
according to a, new ruling announced by the faculty.
The faculty voted to allow unlimited absences from classes for
seniors on the college's dean's list. The list is comprised of students
with a scholastic average of 85
per cent or more, corresponding
to the Penn State 2.5.
Honor seniors will still be re
quired to take examinations and
fulfill such obligations as class
speeches, papers and other assign
ments. Otherwise, "they will be
allowed to attend classes, both
laboratory and lecture,' at their
own discretion." The only excep
tions are students in military sci
ence course:, and GI Bill students,
whose attendance is governed by
federal regulations.

Proponents called the measure
an incentive to scholarship in the
true sense of the liberal arts.
Scholastically superior students, it
was stated, will not squander time
taken off from formal classes. In
most cases, a student will" elect
not to attend a certain class be
cause he feels he can better ad
vance himself by independent
study, some members of the fac
ulty believe.
The new system would also be
a challenge to the teacher to make
his material and presentation in
dispensable.
77 in Senior Class
There are 77 honor students in
the present senior class, number
ing slightly less than one-fourth
of the group. The plan was origi
nated by student representatives.
Under college regulations, stu
dents are allowed three unexcused
absences a semester in most
courses.
"Students are here by choice,
they pay to be here, they are here
to learn," an editorial in the
"Heights Daily News," student
newspaper on the Bronx campus,
stated, "Clearly, the student is
the only loser if his cuts are 'not
regulated in accordance with his
capability . . . the school provides
facilities which the individual
may accept or reject . . . this is
not to minimize the importance of
guidance, but there is an evident
distinction between advice and
absolute regulation."

Besides telling the story of this
unfortunate salesman, Miller por
trays the daily living of many
Americans in all walks of life as
they struggle in an unfriendly
environment for a livelihood.
Realistic Drama
A great piece of realistic drama,
"Death of a Salesman" is written
with technical merit that is rarely
seen in the modern theater. Full
of majesty and sweep, the play
renders an almost previously un
equaled emotional impact from
which even the most unsympa
thetic audience will have a hard
time recovering.
Parrots, ostriches, eagles, and
vultures may live as much as 60
years.
