NOW ITS
VACATION.
Everyone seems to be making
plans for spring vacation, manipu
lating "rides home" and finding it
much more interesting to talk,
over a coke or cherry pineapple,
about who will visit what sorority
sister or fraternity brother than
delving into the mysteries of
Chaucer or the intricacies of the
scientific mind. At any rate, de
spite wintry winds and an abun
dance of fur coat wearers still
shivering in their boots and wish
ing for the appearance of "Old
Sol," plans for spring are defi
nitely growing apace on the cam
pus and there are still a few opti
mistic souls who predict that "it
won't be long now."
PI Xappa Alpha announces the
pledging of Robert Malmsten of
Fremont; Harold Beckman of
Stromsberg; and Joe Beveridge of

tain as to whether or not the park

weather is favorable for the dance,
they state they will make such an

and sororities by telephone.

Board ..of Regents Rules
Over Protests of
Students.
By College News Service.
BERKELEY, April 6. Compul
sory military training for students
in the first two years at the Uni
versity of California, both on the
Berkeley and Los Angeles camp
uses, will continue as a part of the
university curriculum as the result
of the latest ruling by the board
of regents.
After considering student pro
tests on the subject, the board Is
sued the following statement:
"The regents have again consid
ered a proposal that instruction
in military science and tactics be
made elective rather than compul
sory, and have concluded that
there shall be no departure from
the regulation now in force.
"This determination they believe
to be in accordance with ihe legal
and moral obligations which rest
upon them as the governing body
of the university, and they believe
no other would be consistent with
the terms of the trust established
thru the adoption of act 9 sec
tion 9 of the constitution.
"Moreover, they deem the exist
ing regulation to be a sound ex
pression of academic policy. They
are constrained to add that no
statement of preference upon a
matter of the sort here considered,
however persuasive or from what
ver source, can relieve them of
the responsibility and duty of final
decision which the law specifically
reposes in them alone."
CONNING THE
CAMPI
By Arlen Crenshaw
By the time a student enters
college he usually has outgrown
those qualities which convert pub
lic school teachers into semi-official
policemen.
Since he is paying for higher
education, he feels that he should
be able to make his own decisions
about best acquiring that educa
tion. Instead he is surrounded
with much the same type of super
vision that developed his "do it
behind the teacher's back" attitude
in public school.
One example of this type of re
striction at Carnegie is the requir
ing of excuses for class absences.
Obtaining an excuse is simple
at Carnegie and there is no good
way to prevent it from being easy.
But even if they were hard to get
they would still be useless. Ex
cuses merely indicate that the
student has missed an instruction
period, and both he and the in
structor realize that.
Most instructors object to being
policemen, and certainly the stu
dent objects to being policed.
When a student misses a class the
instructor expects him to make up
his work. It the student has de
liberated "cut" the class he will
realize this and make it up.
Written excuses are a bother to
everybody concerned. They be
long back in the days when
Johnny had to bring a note from
home so Miss Smith, the school
marm, would be sure he hadn't
played "hookey" and gone to the
old swimming hole for a dip.
Colleges are supposed to pre
pare men and women for respon
sible citizenship Perhaps if con
gressmen had to bring a note from
home every time they failed to
show up for a session things would
be run better, but from a college
student's viewpoint, this would be
just as silly as the present prac
! tice of requiring absence excuses
at Carnegie.- From the Carnegie
Tartan, Carnegie Tech; distributed
