DEAN STATES RULE ON VACATION CUTS

The same policy that was followed at Christmas regarding attendance before and after the recess will be used at the time of the April vacation, which begins on Saturday, March 31, Dean Hanford announced last night.

Absences from the last class before and from the first class after the April recess in advanced courses taken primarily by Juniors and Seniors (that is, courses for which attendance reports are not regularly required during term time) will not be reported to the Dean's Office.

No Disciplinary Action

In the case of a Junior or Senior not on the Dean's List whose last class before or first class after the April recess is in a course in which attendance is regularly taken, absence will not mean immediate disciplinary action, but such absence will naturally be regarded as an indication of neglect of work if a student's record becomes unsatisfactory in any way.

Freshmen, including both new and dropped Freshmen, and Sophomores who extend the April recess will ordinarily be subject to probation unless they are on the Dean's List. Attendance is regularly reported in most of the courses taken by Freshmen and Sophomores.

All upperclassmen on probation are required to register at the Dean's Office on the day of their last class meeting before the April recess and on the first day after the recess. Such students are also required to attend their last and first classes before and after the recess.

As has been previously explained, the whole plan of not reporting attendance in advanced courses which are taken primarily by Juniors and Seniors has been tried as an experiment in recent years. An especial appeal is made to undergraduates not to abuse the present system. Otherwise a return to the more strict policy will be necessary.
