Student Affairs Has
Absence Excuses
New forms for students to
notify their instructors of an
absence from class are now
available in the Student Af
fairs office, 207 Administra
tion. These absence notifications
may be used in cases of
emergency, when the student
does not wish to or is unable
to contact his instructor about
an absence.
In most cases, the student
should arange his absence
with the instructor personal
ly, but there are some cases
when his causes a hardship,
stated Mrs. Marilyn Koehn,
assistant to the dean.
"We feel that if the stud
ents come to us with a valid
excuse, we should do some
thing to help them notify
their instructors," she con
tinued. "However, if the excuse is
merely for pleasure reasons,
the student must deal direct
ly with the instructor," Mrs.
Koehn explained.
Previously, when students
came to the Student Affairs
office for excuses, they were
given verbally.
The policy concerning ab
sences and excuses is as fol
lows: "The University has no
regulation which permits i
"cuts"; students are expected
to attend all lectures, recita
tions and laboratories." The
policy was given by Dean
PTP-MA Will Have

Ross, in a recent memoran
dum to the faculty and ad
ministrative officers.
The student is responsible
for the attendance an instruc
tor may prescribe and or
dinarily should adjust his ab
sences directly with his in
structor, the memorandum
continued. Notice of illness or
hospitalization may be pro
vided by the Student Health
Center, the family physician
or office of the Dean of Stud
ent Affairs. Absence notifica
tion does not relieve the stud
ent from meeting all course
requirements.
Dean Ross Tells
Types of Reports
Two types of reports to
made to the Student Affairs
office concerning scholarship
and absences, clarified G.
Robert Ross, dean of student
affairs.
The weekly absence reports
list students whose absences
affect their scholastic pro
gress. This is done so that
the office may best serve the
student and the instructor in
correcting the situaiofi.
The scholarship reports
(down slips) are made to the
office at the end of the
seventh week.

Plant breeders at the Uni
versity were the first to dis
cover a gene or genes that
;will restore fertility in male
j sterile wheat, said Secretary
of Agriculture Orville L. Free
man at a news conference in
Washington, last week.
"While no one can predict
what this will mean in terms
of increased yields of wheat."
said Freeman, "we do know
that the development of hy
brid corn and grain sorghum
produced increases of 20 to
25 per cent."
No seed of the new hybrids
Is available yet, said the De
partment of Agriculture.
In order to produce hybrid
wheat seed, seedsmen must
first grow wheat plants with
flowers that cannot fertilize
j themselves. Called male ster
ility, this characteristic

manes it iiccasai iui uic
plant to get pollen from an
other plant. Essentially, it
serves the same purpose as
detasseling in the production
of hybrid corn seed.
The discovery was an

Schmidt, professor of agron
omy at the University; Dr.

When asked if the Rus
sians who visited the campus
recently were shown the
male-sterile plants, the agron
omists said no. The Soviet
delegation was more in
terested in the number of
stalks per seed than the
number of fertile stamens per
flower.
"In fact," said Schmidt,
"they never asked a question
on the subject of male-sterility
so we never brought it
up, either."

"Good friend for Jesus' sake
forbear
To dig the dust enclosed
hear:
Blessed be the man that
spares these stones
And cursed be he that moves
my bones."
These immortal words, writ
ten by William Shakespeare
on his death bed in 1864, have
prevailed unchallenged until
recently.
Disregarding Shakespeare's
solemn injunction, several an
tistratfordian societies have
suggested that his 346-year-old
grave be tapped.
Supposedly the purpose of
this sacrilege is to uncover
any manuscripts (which are
now dust) or to prove con
clusively Shakespeare's iden
tity. Deny Curse
Actually, according to As
sociate Professor of English
Robert E. Knoll, these are
the reasons for people want
ing to deny Shakespeare's
curse:
'Teople are curious about
the nature of genius. They are
looking for a scientific ex
planation. "People would like to de
bunk the validity of genius
and show in some way the
absolute genius of Shake
speare is a put up job. "Some
bodv is after some free pub
licity." Respect not scoff
Knoll added, "The public
which pays attention (to
claims against Shakespeare's
genius) shows that it is un
willing to respect what by all
rational measure deserves re
spect. It is the same attitude
that would scoff at the office
of President or laugh at the
office of Governor.
Perhaps the world would
not be faced with this "grave"
decision today had it not been
for Joseph C. Hart, United
States consul at Santa Crnz.
His article "Who Wrote Shake
speare" (Chamber Journal,
Angnst ?, 1858) started the
stone rolling.
Immediately '4t was sug
gested that Sir Francis Ba
con was author of the re
nouned works. Since then
there have been proposed
more than 50 other candidates
for authorship ranging from
Queen Elizabeth to the Je
suits. Forced Hypothesis
Attacking the possibility,
English Instructor Robert
Harwick retorted, "To assume
that Shakespeare didnt write
the Shakespeare plays is
forced hypothesis. There is
no real reason for assuming
Shakespeare didn't write his
plays."
In regard to Shakespeare's
questionable education, Har
wick added "After all, the
man who wrote Shakespeare
was a genius and there Is
really no means for explain
ing genius."
Harwick emphatically con
cluded, "IVe never in my life
heard of any Shakesperian
scholar who thought that
Shakespeare didn't write his
plays. It's always the work
of an amateur."
Assistant Professor of Eng
lish Miss Lesley Johnstone,
who arrived from England
less than two weeks ago, hit
the oore of the petty Shakes
peare question when she con
cluded, "I think what matters
is that we have the plays
and I don't think it matters
so much who wrote them,
who or why!"
