Fphruarv 7, 1938 THE SALEMITE Page Thr— Faculty Group on Cuts... (Continued from Page One) (hough the opinions of freshmen change greatly, it would be valu- (jhle to know what those opinions are. The discussion of faculty evalu- tion closed with a suggestion from Dr Gramley that the S t u d e nt Council continue work on evalua tion and present plans to the Aca demic Council prior to presentation to the entire faculty for their ap proval or disapproval. Mary Curtis then opened discus sion on our cut system by giving an account of 'the study the Stu dent Council had done on the class attendance policies of other schools. She read a statement of Student Council opinion formed through such study. The following is a part of the statement. We as a Student Council feel that more responsibility for class attendance should rest with the student. The following reasons ac company our opinion; A. If class attendance is not as strict a requirement, . . . more interested and alert stu dents would fill the classroom. Added responsibility would give a student more personal concern. Quite a few other schools similar to Salem have sys tems whereby more responsi bility is placed on the stu dent and these systems work. In general the reaction of the faculty was less favorable to the idea of a more lenient cut system than to that of faculty evaluation. Dr. Gramley, in a desire to have Student Council members be per fectly honest with themselves, asked if the major concern were added responsibility for the student or simply a desire to be able to cut more Saturday classes. After some general discussion in which it was recognized that class atten dance would probably drop on Sat urdays if a more lenient system were initiated, Mary Curtis said she felt that among Student Coun cil members the desire for changes in the cut system was an honest desire for responsibility, but that she could not speak for the rest of the student body. Miss Palmer was perhaps the only faculty member at the nieet- ing who would favor changes in our present system. Her reasons were that the quality of instruction would be improved and that much of the apathy present in so many of our classes would be eliminated. The Faculty Advisory Committee recommended further study by the Student Council and a recjuest lo the Commitlee on Class .Attendance for an explanation of the reasons for our present cut system. The meeting closed with sugges tions from the faculty as to other areas of campus life which should be discussed by Student Govern ment. Perhaps Dr. Gramley spoke for both students and faculty when he said that he preferred to see the Faculty Advisory Committee and the Student Council also meet to discuss ways in wliich to im prove life at Salem rather than just to settle disciplinary problems. D, E. Scholars ♦ *. | (Continued from Page Two) I turned to walk away just as her roommate looked up, and asked her subtly to please refrain from toe-cracking. Going down the teps, I began to wonder what system, among the campus scho lars, w'as the most successful. I opened the door as 1 reached the ground floor and walked down the stone steps, remembering the habits of the six girls whom I had observed. Walking back to Strong 1 thought of getting plenty of sleep, i)erching on a table, thinking as I smoked a cigarette, arranging my material, getting organized neatly, and drinking plenty of cokes as T crack my toes. Open ing the door to the dorm I walked down the tile steps and into the basement. My roommate was still stretched out. She was the only the room who didn't look I came in. Her face was peaceful.
