TIME OFF
"In the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts
of love."
No doubt, and in addition the fancy of college stu
dents, either young men or young women, turns toward
the freedom of the out-of-doors. The combination of warm
days, inviting sunshine and a drowsy lecture rooms adds
up to more than few missed classes.
The University has in existence a three-cut rule which
allows all students three absences per semester. But this
quota is liable to be exceeded and many professors and in
structors will bear witness to the fact that spring is the
ume wnen ine aosences become more numerous.
What we have in mind on this subject is a plan which
would take care of two problems. It would add stimulus
to the general scholastic attitude on the campus and would
also provide the privilege of cutting classes.
To combine these rather opposed aims into one pro
gram, several schools have a workable arrangement where
by students who are sufficiently proficient in their classwork
to be on the school honor roll, on the dean's list or on
whatever listing of above-average students the school is
sues, are allowed the privilege of cutting classes.
Kansas State, for example, makes use of a variation
of this scheme. At the Manhattan school students in the
junior or senior classes who have made at least a B average
for the two preceding semesters are allowed this class cut
ting right.
Naturally the plan would have to be geared to the indi
vidual school, but the K-State idea includes several laudable
provisions. By limiting the privilege to upperclassmen and
by demanding that the work of the two previous semesters
be above average, the school demands more than flashes
of brilliance by new students and makes the goal something
to be worked for during the first two years in college.
And the plan would give the good students who are
not of PBK caliber some reward for their efforts.
It is absurd to imagine or seriously consider a plan
which would give this sort of privilege to all students, but
a partial grant of freedom in determining class attendance
for good students would add spice to scholastic efforts of
all students.
To whom it may concern:
In spite of much criticism, ridi
cule, and other wise remarks,
our litle "International Police
Force" is growing in numbers.
Thank godness that there are a
few people in this University of
ours who have enough common
sense to read "The handwriting
on the wall."
In spite of what you hear the
majority of the original 15 sign
ers were veterans of the late
world conflagration. This was no
grand student publicity stunt.
We signed the paper because
we all earnestly believed in the
idea. It is my belief that the ad
verse publicity is quite unwar
ranted, and is a nasty slam at a
bunch of fellows who had a good
idea and are still carrying it
through and succeeding in spite
of everything personally, it is my
belief the World Government is
the one hope for this world today.
If our little idea does anything
to further advance this, then I
say that our work has not been
n vain. Any person who is not
completely blind as to the present
world situation is welcome, rather
I say urged to sign our paper. At
least our idea is begining.
Those people who laugh and
wisecrack the loudest are the do
nothings. They have never ad
vanced any progressive ideas as
how to correct the very ad
verse world situation, and iney
nevershall. Their only purpose in
this world is to make fun of
those who are trying to do some
thing.
Here is hoping that we get a
thousand signers.
Yours very truly.
George R. Schmid.
