Faculty Amends '57-'58 Cut Plan
75% (lassAttendance
Required By Faculty
In March 18 Voting
The faculty took final action on
the 1957-1958 attendance system
at a meeting March 19. The
amended plan calls for a required
seventy-five per cent class at-tendance
for sophomores. Juniors,
and seniors. First semester fresh-men
and commercials will have 2
unexcused cuts per class. Second
semester freshmen and commer-cials
will have three. Faculty mem-bers
will continue to take roll and
turn attendance records In to the
Registrar. The plan will go Into
effect In the 1957 fall term.
Three major amendments to the
student plan were passed Tues-day
night.
Faculty Report to Registrar
The first major amendment
makes it the obligation of the
faculty member to report all ab-sences
to the Registrar In order
that the Registrar may have rele-vant
material to furnish to the
"proper reviewing authorities in
case a problem arises concerning
a student's absences In a given
course." This amendment passed
84-42.
A second major change adds
the stipulation that students must
attend seventy-five per cent of
the meetings in any course in or-der
to receive credit for that
course. Cutting more than twenty-five
per cent of the meetings shall
result In loss of credit.
Unit Medical Cuts
The third was passed at the rec-omendatlon
of the Infirmary. It
allows for medical excuses for
upperclassmen from the infirm-ary,
or from a doctor In the case
of a town student, only In the
cases of Illness requiring absence
from class for more than a week.
Excuses will be given first semes-ter
freshmen and commercials as
at present and to second semester
freshmen and commercials for Ill-nesses
lasting forty-eight hours or
more.
Probation
At a recommendation from the
Academic and Personnel Commit-tee
the faculty deleted the section
providing for review of appealed
cases of Attendance probation by
the committee and made It the
responsibility of the faculty mem-ber
to notify the student of her
probation. Attendance probation,

WUNC-TV Wins Contract
For Net Film Production
An unusual honor and a "first"
has come to the Woman's College
studio of WUNC-TV, Channel 4.
This honor is a film. " The
Christmas Painting," that the
National Educational Televisions
and Radio Center contracted with
the local studio last week.
The N. E. T„ the educational
network, is the non-profit organi-zation
sponsored by the Ford
Foundation that sends out educa-tional
films to all educational
television stations, to study and
school groups and abroad.
To have any educatonal films
commissioned by the N. E. T. is
one of the highest honors that
an educational station receives.
The three branches of WUNC-TV
have been trying for several
years to have programs accepted
by the National Educational Tele-vision
and Rodio Center, but this
is the first time that one of the
studios has been so recognised
and honored.
"The Christmas Painting" Is an
original story written and pro-duced
by the WC studio. Presented
on December 14. 1958, the pro-gram
was filmed and sent to the
N. E. T. Because musical record-ings
were used in the December
14 program, another film of 'The
Christmas Painting" must be
made for the N. E. T for distri-bution
over the country and abroad
for next Christmas season. An
