pg he only clear-cut rale about
lere is no clear-cut rule,
several university educators agree.
What penance students must make
depends on their professojs. Profes
sors have their own answers to
whether attendance is necessary for
all students, even those who get A's
on all tests and whether it should
affect students' final grades.
Norman Thereon, UNL law profes
sor and president of the Faculty
Senate said it's up to the students.
it is usually up to that professor to
tell his or her class what this attend
ance policy is.
Although professors' policies differ,
scnie departments have stricter
standards than others. The English
department is an example. Linda
Rcssiter of the English department's
main office said that English profes
sors tend to be mere strict becsise
their classes usually consist of about
SO people, siid without good tttend
ance, "yea can have a pretty lousy
discussion."
"It's their money," Thorson said.
"If they want to come to class, fine. If "On the college tevei, they (prcfes-
thcy don't, fke. But a student's expe- scrs) don't want the ct:::1cr.ts if

Charles SiubMeSeld, an English
professor, has a different opinion.
"There are no excused absences in
my class," he sad. "It doesn't matter
if your grandmother dies or not I
can't give guy credit for attending
bis grandmother's funeral"
Another professor's cpirdoa:
"Students miss out on a lot of val
uable dassrocm time that b part of
th-3 msturifil process," said G. G.
Mdse's, dean of the College of Aits
and Sciences. However, Meisels did
sny students can learn a lot just by
reading class material.
The schedule-of-classes book given
to students at pre-registration time
briefly lists some attendance guide
lines. It stresses that:
O Students are responsible for
attendance.
0 Neither absence nor a notifica
tion of absence relieves students of
Some professors flunk students cn
poor attendance alone. If students
neglect to regularly attend a class,
professors can and often do send out
a notice at midterm, warning stu
dents that their absences could affect
their grade.
Les Vhipp, jm English professor,
said some professors' feelings are
hurt when few students turn oEt for
fceir ckssss, and they retaliate with
strict attendance policies.
'Tou walk into an empty class and
you feel like someone spit on you,"
