What IH your opinion of an unlimited cut lyttem?
On this subject came a variety of Ideas. One teacher felt there should be no cuts at all. but no Saturday classes either. The same professor felt that it was a fallacy for seniors to have unlimited cuts. Three others felt the present system is workable, "As the present system discourages all but the hardiest teachers from taking attendance, it's not so bad." And three others said students would tend to take advantage of the system Unllmlteda for ail but freshnun was the idea of 2 of the teachers and another said it should be for aU those having a C-plus or better average. Four gave no opinion. As far as being definitely for or against, it was 12 for and 9 against The arguments covered
numerous ideas:
"In my opinion there Is no reason why it should not work If the school has a responsible student body." "The beat students rarely miss class; the poor students would cut their ow:i throats under an unlimited cut system. Need I say more?" "If the Kills would really play, fair and would not expect the teachers to help them make up work that they had missed. I would be In favor of it. But human nature's being what it is makes It unlikely that the unlimited cut system would work here in a situation In which many young people are not yet' willing to take the blame for During recent visit to Longwith Dr. Rosemary Sprague, their own faults."
