A proposal which may be a his-toric
change in class stendance at
Woman's College was approved at
a special meeting of the WC fac-ulty
February 5.
The proposal passed was the
plan submitted by the student
Executive Cabinet, it Is subject
to amendment at a future date.
Four proposals In all were pre-sented
to the faculty: the student
proposal, a proposal by Dr. War-ren
Ashby. and two proposals
from the special Faculty Commit-tee
on Class Attendance.
The student plan, signed by stu-dent
officers, members of the
president's cabinet, provides tor
the discontinuance of allocation of
cuts on the basis of grades for
sophomores, Juniors, and seniors
and for the abandonment of the
reporting of class attendance to
a central office. It assures the
faculty that the students realize
their responsibility to attend class-es
and affirms the belief that the
students would assume that re-sponslblliy
under a new system.
At the special meeting on Feb-ruary
5 the faculty took the first
step toward such a system. At a
future meeting the plan will be
amended by the faculty and adopt-ed.
Meanwhile the present system
of eats according to academic
avenue will be continued.
Faculty approval of the request
does not Indicate a radical change
ln the class attendance system.
Still retained are the obligations
of the student to attend classes
and he responsibility of the In-structors
to keep attendance rec-ords
and notify the student and
the registrar when excessive ab-sences
affect the student's work
or Impede the progress of the class
as a whole.
In effect, the Instructor will gov-ern
attendance ln his own class,
even if the resoluUon Is una-mended
at a future meeting of
the faculty. The matter will re-main
subject to faculty review and
revision at any time, according to
Registrar Rollln Godfrey.
The student proposal as pre-sented
to the faculty Is reprinted
here in full:
