Class attendance
dip noticeable
by BILL SMITHERMAN
Neerssluui Staff Writer
Although the student strike is on, there is some question
as to how many students are actually boycotting classes.
Walking Wednesday through halls usually packed between
classes there were noticibly fewer people. During class
periods instructors could be seen through open doors
sometimes lecturing to full classrooms and sometimes to
only a few students.
Many instructors cancelled scheduled examinations or
moved them to later dates. Some gave students the option
of taking tests now or later.
A few announced they would penalize students not at
tending class.
There was varied opinion on the effect of the strike
among college deans, instructors, and administrators.
Attendance was markedly lower than usual in University
English classes Wednesday, according to department
chairman Dudley Bailey.
He said that English instructors have the option of
holding or cancelling class and that he didn't know how
many classes had been cancelled. The percentage of students
attending class seemed to get lower as the day progressed,
Bailey said.
"The faculty of the English department Is trying to
keep the educational process going," he said. "But, many
of us are in sympathy with the aims of the strike.'
Bailey added that students and faculty participating
in the strike would not be penalized.
Agriculture and Home Economics Associate D e a a
Franklin E. Eldridge said there seemed to be a great
deal of interest in the strike among East Campus students.
However, only a few have used class time to participate,
he said.
Eldridge said he knew of no classes being called off
by East Campus instructors and that class , attendance on
East Campu3 seemed near normal.
Elementary education department chairman O. W. Kopp
said class attendance in teacher's college seems even better
than usual. He added that no sanctions were planned though
against students missing classes.
At the Dental College only a few students missed morning
classes, according to Dean Richard E. Bradley. He said
that no classes had been dismissed and that dental students
involved in clinical work were all present.
"No student in Pharmacy College has to attend class,
Pharmacy College Dean Robert Gibson said. "He only has
to if he wants to graduate or get a grade."
Gibson said the strike will do nothing but alienate people
from the University and doubts the time will be used
to talk to Lincolnites about the war. If students do canvass,
he said people would probably slam the door in their
faces.
"The strike has probably cost the University $10 million
in educational support from the legislature and done more
to elect Batchelder than anything he could have done
himself," Gibson said.
Dean of Faculties C. Peter Magrath said class attendance
was down in some places and normal in others. He added
the University has no machinery for officially taking class
attendance.
