MKh .News ICditnr Te Harris 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.
